Review of organic mulching effects on soil and water loss

Rui Li et al.

Summary: Organic mulch is proven effective for soil and water conservation worldwide, with a recommended application rate of 6-10 Mg ha(-1) significantly reducing soil and water loss. Different mulch materials and experimental site types have minor impacts on reducing soil loss and runoff, while measurement methods play a significant role in the process.

Influence of plastic film mulch with biochar application on crop yield, evapotranspiration, and water use efficiency in northern China: A meta-analysis

Erastus Mak-Mensah et al.

Summary: The use of plastic film mulching in dry-land areas of China has been shown to increase crop yields, water use efficiency, and decrease evapotranspiration. Additionally, the co-application of plastic film and biochar has been found to significantly increase maize yields, demonstrating its potential for soil and water conservation in rain-fed agriculture.
