Effects of tillage regime on soil aggregate-associated carbon, enzyme activity, and microbial community structure in a semiarid agroecosystem

Plant and Soil
Background and aims Conservation tillage enhances soil aggregate function, —a key factor for promoting soil nutrient cycling and plant growth. However, there is a limited understanding of how tillage practices impact soil nutrients, enzymes and microbes ...

EVALUATING SELECTED SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES UNDER DIFFERENT SOIL TILLAGE SYSTEMS IN ARID SOUTHEAST RAWALPINDI, PAKISTAN

, 2020
Tillage is a critical soil management option that affect many soil physical, chemical and biological properties, which in turn may alter the soil environment and consequently impact on root growth and distribution, and crop yield.

Tillage Intensity Effects on Soil Structure Indicators—A US Meta-Analysis

Sustainability, 2020
Tillage intensity affects soil structure in many ways but the magnitude and type (+/−) of change depends on site-specific (e.g., soil type) and experimental details (crop rotation, study length, sampling depth, etc.).

Effects of Conservation Tillage on Soil Physicochemical Properties and Crop Yield in an Arid Loess Plateau, China

Scientific Reports, 2020
Conservation tillage can improve soil physical structure and water storage, protect moisture, and increase crop yield. However, the long-term adoption of a single tillage method may have some adverse effects on soil and ecological environment, although ...

Effect of Mechanized Ridge Tillage with Rice-Rape Rotation on Paddy Soil Structure

Agriculture, 2022
Ridge tillage is one of the essential tillage methods in China. It affects the soil structure by altering the soil-water environment. With the rapid development of agricultural mechanization, the mechanized ridge tillage technology that combines modern ...

Soil Bacterial Diversity and Potential Functions Are Regulated by Long-Term Conservation Tillage and Straw Mulching

Microorganisms, 2020
Soil physiochemical properties are regulated by cropping practices, but little is known about how tillage influences soil microbial community diversity and functions. Here, we assessed soil bacterial community assembly and functional profiles in relation
