Assessment of Soil Degradation Based On Soil Properties and Spatial Analysis in Dryland Farming

Journal of Ecological Engineering, 2023
Dryland farming, managed intensively, with the input of chemical fertilizers exceeding the dose threshold, can cause soil degradation. Degraded soil affects low environmental carrying capacity and soil and water conservation.

Key soil parameters affecting the survival of Panax notoginseng under continuous cropping

Scientific Reports, 2021
Negative plant-soil feedbacks lead to the poor growth of Panax notoginseng (Sanqi), a well-known herb in Asia and has been used worldwide, under continuous cropping. However, the key soil parameters causing the replant problem are still unclear.

Planetary limits to soil degradation

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021
Soils are essential to life on Earth but are rapidly degrading worldwide due to unsustainable human activities. We argue that soil degradation constitutes a key Earth system process that should be added to the planetary boundaries framework.

Dynamic changes of soil microorganisms in rotation farmland at the western foot of the Greater Khingan range

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Crop rotation and other tillage systems can affect soil microbial communities and functions. Few studies have reported the response of soil spatial microbial communities to rotation under drought stress. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to explore
