A review of crop straw pretreatment methods for biogas production by anaerobic digestion in China

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2019
Producing biogas from straw is an effective way to manage straw from crops. However, there are difficult technical problems in the biogas fermentation process because it is difficult for anaerobic bacteria to degrade crop straw to produce biogas ...

Effects of long‐term straw return on soil organic carbon storage and sequestration rate in North China upland crops: A meta‐analysis

Global Change Biology, 2020
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for soil fertility and climate change mitigation, and carbon can be sequestered in soil through proper soil management, including straw return.

Improved straw management practices promote in situ straw decomposition and nutrient release, and increase crop production

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020
The annual double-cropping system of winter wheat-summer maize on the North China Plain has caused severe land degradation, particularly soil infertility due to the biannual tillage and straw removal.
