This paper applied two independent soil health assessment approaches to evaluate the impacts of 40-yr conservation tillage (CST) and additional 4-yr cover cropping on a range of soil health indicators and the overall soil health in typical southeastern Coastal Plain soils of the USA. The Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) and Cornell's Comprehensive Assessment of Soil Health (CASH) were used to calculate soil health indices. When compared to conventional tillage, 40-yr CST increased active carbon (C) from 301 to 420 mg kg–1 and organic nitrogen (N) mineralization potentials from 0.78 to 0.91 mg kg–1 d–1, but it reduced soil electrical conductivity from 133 to 101 μs cm–1. No difference in soil aggregate stability, total C, extractable phosphorous and potassium, microbial biomass C, respiration, and glucosidase activities were observed between the two tillage treatments. Increasing organic inputs along with CST is seemingly the optimal management option.
