What change would you most expect in a clay-heavy soil that is planted with cover crop and then tilled under?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tilling under a cover crop in a clay-heavy soil would likely create more air pockets in the soil due to the disturbance caused by tilling. This can improve soil aeration, drainage, and reduce waterlogging, which can benefit plant and microbial growth. While tilling under a cover crop will introduce organic matter into the soil, it is not likely to reduce the number of worms, bacteria, or minerals in the soil.
