Quantification of the effects of conservation practices on surface runoff and soil erosion in croplands and their trade-off: A meta-analysis

Joy Rajbanshi et al.

Summary: Soil erosion and high runoff are significant threats to topsoil fertility, resulting in land degradation, desertification, food scarcity, and hunger globally. Various conservation methods have been adopted to reduce runoff and protect the soil. A meta-analysis of 98 research articles from 1981 to 2021 revealed that conservation practices are effective in controlling soil erosion, with hedgerow being the most effective in controlling runoff rate and no-tillage being the most efficient in reducing soil erosion. Other practices such as strip cropping and mulching also showed balanced efficiency in reducing both runoff and soil erosion. The results are influenced by climatic and physical factors.

Drip fertigation with straw incorporation promotes soil microbial network complexity and potentially reduces pathogen abundance in greenhouse vegetable production systems

Jing Hu et al.

Summary: Continuous monoculture, conventional flood fertigation, and low soil fertility increase the risk of soil-borne diseases in greenhouse vegetable production systems. Drip fertigation with straw incorporation (DIF+S) improves resource use efficiency, reduces environmental risks, positively affects soil microbial diversity, and reduces the occurrence of soil-borne diseases. DIF+S is a sustainable and effective technology for maintaining soil health and reducing pesticide use in greenhouse vegetable production systems.

Ammoniated straw incorporation increases maize grain yield while decreasing net greenhouse gas budget on the Loess Plateau, China

Jinchao Li et al.

Summary: The two major concerns of sustainable agriculture are food security and climate warming. Straw incorporation is a commonly used field management measure, but its high carbon: nitrogen ratio poses issues. Ammoniated straw treatments aim to reduce the ratio, but studies on their long-term effects on maize grain yield and net greenhouse gas budget are limited.

The influence of wheat straw mulching and straw length on infiltration, runoff and soil loss

Chenguang Wang et al.

Summary: This study quantified the effects of wheat straw length and coverage on infiltration, runoff, and sediment yield. The results showed that increasing straw coverage increases infiltration rate and reduces runoff and sediment yield, while increasing straw length reduces infiltration rate and increases runoff and sediment yield. The optimal marginal benefit of straw is achieved when the straw cover is 3.5 t center dot hm(-2). Wheat straw mulch can effectively increase infiltration and reduce runoff and sediment yield, making it critical for sustainable agriculture and ecology on sloping land.

Effects of 7 Years of Warming and Straw Application on Soil Bacterial, Fungal, and Archaeal Community Compositions and Diversities in a Crop Field

Miaomiao Zhang et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of long-term warming and straw application on soil microbial community composition and diversity. The results showed that straw application partially offset the effects of warming on bacterial diversity, while warming and straw application significantly decreased fungal diversity. Furthermore, soil properties played an important role in regulating microbial community diversity, with available phosphorus being a key limiting factor.

Straw returning on sloping farmland reduces the soil and water loss via surface flow but increases the nitrogen loss via interflow

Xuekai Jing et al.

Summary: The study finds that the effects of conservation practices on nitrogen loss during extreme rainfall events vary, with interflow being the dominant process and dissolved organic nitrogen being a significant form of nitrogen loss. These findings provide valuable insights for predicting and controlling nitrogen loss in sloping farmland.

Seasonal Temporal Characteristics of In Situ Straw Decomposition in Different Types and Returning Methods

Kunkun Wang et al.

Summary: The utilization of crop straw is crucial for green agriculture and ecological environment. This study conducted an in situ experiment with four types of crop straw and found that climate factors and straw returning methods have significant effects on straw decomposition and nutrient release. Different accumulated temperature values, straw types, and returning methods can lead to variations in straw decomposition and nutrient release.

Fine-Crush Straw Returning Enhances Dry Matter Accumulation Rate of Maize Seedlings in Northeast China

Jiale Zhao et al.

Summary: The fine-crush straw returning technique accelerates the decomposition rate of straw by shortening the length of straw pieces, leading to increased dry matter accumulation rate of maize seedlings and improved soil conditions. This new agronomic technology may offer a solution to promote straw returning in maize-growing areas of Northeast China.
