Can straw-biochar mulching mitigate erosion of wildfire-degraded soils under extreme rainfall?

, 2020
High severity wildfires cause a drastic alteration of soil carbon cycling – both oxidising and thermally altering soil organic matter (SOM) - and usually are followed by strong runoff and erosion events.

Design and Test of Straw Crushing and Spreading Device Based on Straw Mulching No-Tillage Planter

Agriculture
To address issues such as slow soil temperature recovery and delayed sowing periods caused by straw mulching in the cold regions of northern Heilongjiang Province, this study designed a straw crushing and scattering device compatible with the 2BMFJ series no-till planters, aiming to achieve moderate straw fragmentation and uniform distribution.

Quantifying and evaluating the risk posed to straw bale constructions from moisture [PDF]

, 2014
The level of moisture a construction is exposed to may have an adverse effect on health and structure. Using straw, an organic material, as the construction medium, introduces concerns about biodegradability and spore germination, highlighting the ...

Impact of mulching and planting time on spring-wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth: A combined field experiment and empirical modeling approach

Open Agriculture
This study aimed to assess the effect of straw-mulching and sowing time on spring-wheat growth and also evaluate the suitability of nonlinear models (Logistic, Gompertz, Richards and Weibull models) in forecasting crop growth.

Straw measures attenuate the differences in surface-subsurface flow and sediment yield under four rainfall patterns on red soil sloping farmlands of southern China

Agricultural Water Management
The intra-event dynamics of rainfall processes significantly alter surface-subsurface flow generation and sediment yield on sloping farmland. However, the effectiveness of straw mulching in regulating these rainfall-induced erosion processes remains ...
