Optimizing soil hydrothermal status improves potato photosynthetic capacity and yield under mulching practices in rainfed areas

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Extensive use of polyethylene plastic mulch (PM) boosts crop productivity in rainfed Northwest China but causes severe soil pollution. Consequently, biodegradable plastic mulch (DM) and straw mulching (full-coverage, CM; strip, SM) have emerged as eco ...

Improved atmospheric modelling of the oasis-desert system in Central Asia using WRF with actual satellite products [PDF]

, 2017
Because of the use of outdated terrestrial datasets, regional climate models (RCMs) have a limited ability to accurately simulate weather and climate conditions over heterogeneous oasis-desert systems, especially near large mountains.

Understanding of maize root responses to changes in water status induced by plastic film mulching cultivation on the Loess Plateau, China

Agricultural Water Management
Water stress is the most important factor limiting crop production in arid and semiarid regions. Cultivating crops using a plastic film mulch can significantly increase crop yields by optimizing soil hydrothermal conditions in semiarid agroecosystems ...
