Cover cropping is the practice of growing plants specifically to protect and enrich soil rather than for harvest, improving soil structure, reducing erosion, and suppressing weeds. For plant science, cover crops are particularly significant because they enhance microbial communities in the soil, driving nitrogen cycling and nutrient availability that directly influence the physiology and productivity of subsequent crops.
