Abstract Winter cover crops (WCC) have received much attention due to their environmental benefits, particularly improvements soil health. However, most studies are made less than 5 years after implementation, and there is no consensus about when sample best quantify a WCC effect. We used paired, chronosequence approach with 1–15 since implementation of cereal rye ( Secale cereale ) as WCC, analyzed soils collected in spring autumn. measured bulk density, maximum water‐holding capacity, penetration resistance, pH, total carbon (C) nitrogen (N), permanganate oxidizable carbon, microbial biomass (MBC), N, potentially mineralizable (PMC), (PMN). also maize Zea mays soybean Glycine max grain yield. found that increased MBC PMC by 8% each PMN 11%, regardless time‐since‐implementation. Furthermore, sampling biological health indicators the resulted more positive, significant treatment effects (12%–19%) compared autumn, where we yields 7% 8–9 but decreased yield 23% 15 years. reduced resistance 10% it 20% These later contrasting results may be management nuances or biophysical changes cropping systems time. Overall, many our study, increase quickly, drag occur adoption.
