Evaluates statistically the long-term cultivation effects on soil bulk density, soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen contents in Russian Chernozem soil, within and below the plow layer. Sites sampled; Decline in soil organic matter beyond the plow depth with long-term continuous cultivation with and without cropping.
