There has been a lot of talk recently about the old practise of incorporating legumes into the soil.

An increase in the SOC pool within the root zone by 1 t C ha-1 yr-1 can enhance food production in developing countries by 30-50 Mt yr-1 including 24-40 Mt yr-1 of cereal and legumes, and 6-10 Mt yr-1 of roots and tubers, while also improving ecosystem services and ensuring sustainable use of soil resources, SOC sequestration also mitigates global warming by off-setting fossil fuel emissions and improving water quality by reducing non-point source pollution.

Then there is this one from USask

A chart showing some of the value of having forages in the rotation, or in the wild pasture.
Has anyone any other references on this topic?
