Abstract: Cover crops deliver numerous ecosystem services including the capacity to sequester and store atmospheric CO2 offering promise as a natural climate solution. Farm system models must be able to accurately represent cover crop systems and estimate the associated net greenhouse gas emissions from this practice across agricultural contexts.
