- Association Earlier sowing was associated with greater cover crop biomass, averaging 38.7% more.
- Association Earlier sowing was associated with higher nitrogen accumulation.
- Observation Species composition and competitive hierarchies strongly shaped mixture performance.
- Observation Total nitrogen accumulation ranged from 42 to 275 kg N ha−1 across composition and sowing time.
- Observation Common vetch dominated mixtures had the highest nitrogen accumulation.
- Observation Oat dominated and substantially contributed to biomass without competitive legumes.
- Observation Sunflower performed less well under delayed sowing.
- Observation Maize performed less well under delayed sowing.
- Observation Legumes had lower carbon-to-nitrogen ratios than non-legumes.
- Observation Mixture carbon-to-nitrogen ratios remained moderate.
- Mechanism Moderate mixture carbon-to-nitrogen ratios suggested favorable decomposition and nutrient release potential.
