Abstract
After 3 yr, soybean yield was higher from multispecies than from single‐ and double‐species cover cropping. Multispecies cover cropping had higher soil water and inorganic N content than less‐diverse treatments. Soil organic C was unaffected by cover crop species diversity. Several years of cover cropping are needed to achieve ecosystem benefits.
