Adding a cover crop adds a new inflow, and it’s more likely that a portion of that carbon will stay in the soil if that cover crop is not harvested. Adding a perennial to the crop rotation can also drive a large increase in photosynthesis. However, manure does add carbon to the system so the net effect is hard to predict.

Including noncrop vegetation alongside crops may further increase genetic diversity in a geographic area, as with prairie strips or field borders and other conservation buffers within or adjacent to crop fields. And diversity may also include the temporal diversity of crop rotations.
