Abstract
Evaluates the effects of pruning on Amorpha fruticosa root dynamics in alley cropping systems in Georga. Pruning increased nitrogen availability (mineral N, microbial N, and prolonged microbial access to N), which can positively impact the productivity of the alley cropping system.Suggested Citation
