High residue and cover crops contribute organic matter to soil, while no-till
management helps protect organic matter and allow accumulation. Organic
matter provides food for earthworms and other soil biota. All play a role in
developing or protecting soil structure and macropores to help soil function
at a high level. Inset shows relationship of macro- and micropores to soil
aggregates.
