Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ditch‐buried straw return (DB) is an innovative practice combining deep tillage and straw incorporation. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on soil physical quality compared to rotary tillage (RT) and identified key constraints to crop in sandy‐loam and clay‐loam paddy soils within rice–wheat systems. Two field experiments were conducted

Potential role of organic matter in the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes in black soils
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 The degradation of black soil is a serious problem with the decrease in soil organic matter (SOM) content in northeast China, and animal manure as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is commonly amended into soil to sustain or increase the ...

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

Simplifying the Determination of Aggregate Stability Indicators of Mollisols [PDF]
Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2020 ABSTRACTAggregate stability (AS) is a very sensitive soil physical health indicator. The complexity of its determination discourages frequent monitoring.

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization governs plant‐available N from soil organic matter and microbial turnover, and is typically estimated as potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) via anaerobic incubations or as N0 and mineralization rate (k) via long‐term aerobic incubations.

Soil physical quality of Mollisols quantified by a global index [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2015 Indicators synthesizing the state of the structural quality and the function of the porous system are useful for assessing soil production capacity as well as the way it may serve natural ecosystems. This research aimed (i) to determine indicators of the state and function of the porous system, (ii) to use them to derive a global index to characterize ...

Mung bean yield stability exists across seeding rates
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is gaining attention as a sustainable, high‐protein legume with the potential to diversify cropping systems in temperate regions such as Iowa. However, optimal agronomic management practices, including seeding rate, remain largely unexplored in this region. This study evaluated the effects of seeding rate
