This study is closely related to Emma’s research (see Cover Crop Cocktails) on examining cover crops and their associated ecosystem services, especially regarding the characterization of the belowground root community. However, this project involves varying the seeding rate of three cover crop species from diverse functional groups (legume, brassica, and grass) to understand how planting different proportions of a cover crop mixture impacts the provisioning of ecosystem services. While we are focusing on some root-related ecosystem services such as deep soil nitrogen retention, nitrogen fixation, and soil organic matter and carbon, we are also planning to measure aboveground services such as pollinator resources, weed and pest suppression, and plant tissue nutrient content. This work aims to inform farmers of the ideal amount of seeds to plant of a given cover crop if they desire a specific ecosystem function, which will minimize unnecessary costs. It may also help to provide a general framework of how different compositions of cover crop functional groups interact as a community to contribute to overall ecosystem multifunctionality.
