Can soil organic carbon sequestration and the carbon management index be improved by changing the film mulching methods in the semiarid region?

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Plastic film mulching has been widely used to increase maize yield in the semiarid area of China. However, whether long-term plastic film mulching is conducive to agricultural sustainability in this region remains controversial.

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Managing For Mulch [PDF]

Rangelands, 2001
vegetation that is allowed to naturally decompose isn’t realized by many ranchers and some range mangers. Mulch plays a critical role in soil-water relationships that is often overlooked. This, coupled with current drought conditions in the southwestern United States justifies a consideration of the importance of mulch on rangelands.

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.
