The National Soil Dynamics Laboratory is a USDA Agricultural Research Service laboratory on the Auburn University campus, founded in 1933. Its research develops tools and practices for sustainable, profitable production, with emphasis on conservation systems, soil compaction and machinery interactions, organic waste management, and soil carbon responses to environmental change.
Reports use the public sample. Complete portfolio reporting is available through a paid hub partnership.

Summaries from the research index
These takeaways are a starting point. They do not replace reviewed measurements, methods or institutional attribution.Indexed research summary
A no-till experiment was conducted in Auburn, AL U.S.A. to evaluate the effectiveness of an experimental two-stage roller/crimper in reoccurring rolling over the same area planted with a cereal rye-crimson clover cover crop mix and its influence on bush bean yield.
Indexed research summary
A three year on-farm conservation-tillage experiment was initiated in fall of 2008 at Randle Farm LLC, located in Auburn, AL.
Indexed research summary
A field experiment was conducted in Cullman, AL, to evaluate the effects of three different rollers/crimpers on the termination of a winter cover crop, soil moisture, and yield of sweet corn in a no-till system.
