Quantification of soybean resilience to drought at different growth stages
Quantification of crop resilience to drought in cover crop mixtures
Applying ecological concepts to the only-legume mixtures and using a trait-based approach to select species with specific traits to increase the benefits of cultivated systems
Determination of complementarity and compensation effects in only-legume mixtures to guarantee high efficiency, and consistency in providing multiple ecosystem services, e.g., weed suppression, along with being resistant and resilient to unpredictable biotic and abiotic conditions
Evaluation of whether designing mixtures based on species-specific traits is more important than increasing species diversity per se to ensure sustainable agricultural systems
