Cover Story: Field research for exploring the impact of winter cover crops (WCCs) integration into cropping systems has limited application beyond the study area. To bridge this gap, we used the APSIM model to simulate corn-rye-corn-rye and corn-rye-soybean-rye rotations in comparison with corn-corn and corn-soybean rotations across the state of Illinois at a spatial resolution of 5 km × 5 km from 2000 to 2020 to study the impact of WCCs on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and crop production. Our results suggest that integrating rye into the crop rotations imparted greater yield stability for corn across the state. Through long-term adoption of WCCs, the areas with a low probability of increase in SOC responded equally well for soil carbon sequestration. View this paper
