dc.description.abstract	1. Soil Physicochemical Improvements: - Annual cattle corralling reduces bulk density and increases soil nutrient availability (N, P, K, Figure 1) - Enhances water retention and soil structure, which are crucial for crop growth. 2. Maize Yield Enhancement: - Annual corralling results in the highest maize yields, demonstrating its effectiveness as a soil fertility strategy. 3. Carbon Sequestration: - Annual corralling increases SOC and soil carbon stocks, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.	en_US
