We hypothesized that crushed silicate rock would improve soil physical properties. This study investigated how stand-alone and combined application of crushed metabasalt and olivine rock (40.3 and 26.9 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>), compost (9 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>), and biochar (10 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>) influenced soil physical health over a 2-year drought period in a Northern California corn (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) cropping system. Rock-amended soils exhibited greater aggregate stability, up to 400% greater hydraulic conductivity, and up to 21% lower penetration resistance following 3 years of repeated application, with no changes in texture or plant-available water. Co-application of organic amendments yielded no additional benefits compared to rock alone, but usually improved physical properties compared to the unamended control.

However, early LTEs commonly lack treatment randomization, replication, and initial measurements of SOC. This creates a potential problem of unmeasured confounding. We address this problem using the Morrow Plots (established 1876) as a case study. We start with a standard mixed effects model of SOC and add (i) a spatial kriging component and (ii) SOC measurements in the sod perimeter of the experiment as an additional treatment level. We find that much of the observed SOC variation between treatments after 145 years is not due to treatments but other factors (e.g. initial SOC), attenuating treatment effects by about 50%. Our study demonstrates that creative measurement and innovative modeling can mitigate some deficiencies in early LTEs.
