Ecological Challenges and Strategic Responses to China's Quantitative Rigidity of Cultivated Land Protection

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing food security and ecological sustainability has become a critical challenge for land governance in rapidly urbanizing countries. China has successfully maintained national cultivated land quantity through a comprehensive farmland protection regime.

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

Spatiotemporal Interactions of Land Use Change, Land Surface Temperature, and Vegetation Dynamics in China's Caohai National Nature Reserve

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use change (LUC), land surface temperature (LST), and vegetation indices is critical for assessing ecological changes and informing sustainable land management. This study investigates the long‐term interrelationships between LUC, LST, and vegetation indices in China's Caohai National Nature ...

Residue retention and minimum tillage improve physical environment of the soil in croplands: A global meta-analysis

Soil and Tillage Research, 2019
Conservation tillage practices, here defined as no-tillage (NT) or reduced tillage (RT) with/without residue retention, have been widely used to alleviate the negative effects caused by intensive tillage practices.

Subsoiling tillage with straw incorporation improves soil microbial community characteristics in the whole cultivated layers: A one-year study

Soil & Tillage Research, 2022
The subsoiling tillage managements have been recommended to remediate subsoil compaction and maintain crop production. These practices can improve soil properties and fertility due to soil loosening and straw incorporation, and further affect soil ...

Soil tillage

2023
Tillage is the mechanical manipulation of the soil to modify or ameliorate its physical condition with regard to plant growth for human and animal food production. Tillage operations include incorporation of fertilizers or crop amendments, seedbed preparation, seeding, and post-emergent cultivation for weed control.

Long term impact of different tillage systems on carbon pools and stocks, soil bulk density, aggregation and nutrients: A field meta-analysis

, 2021
Intensive tillage frequently has adverse impact on soil physical quality and soil organic carbon stocks in temperate regions. A consequence of this has been a reduction in crop production over the years demonstrating the necessity of effective and ...

A cover crop and no-tillage system for enhancing soil health by increasing soil organic matter in soybean cultivation

, 2021
No-tillage systems and cover cropping can improve soil organic carbon (SOC), which enhances soil health and sustainability. However, the interaction between tillage systems and cover crops in Andisols is still unclear and requires further investigation ...

Conservation tillage rotation enhanced soil structure and soil nutrients in long-term dryland agriculture

European Journal of Agronomy, 2021
Conservation tillage has been proposed as an effective way to conserve soil water in dryland agriculture. However, long-term continuous mono-tillage including conservational and conventional tillage has been proved to have limited improvements or some ...
