The Influence of Mulching with Straw on the Field Microclimate and Ginger Growth [PDF]
HortScience, 2004 Mulching with straw increase soil water content, air relative humidity and air temperature, but decreased soil temperature. Though mulching with straw didn't change light intensity, ginger growth and yield were the same as shading. The growth and yield under shading and mulching with straw were both higher than that of naked soil.

Sustainable Potato Growth under Straw Mulching Practices
Sustainability, 2023 Extreme heat, droughts, pests, diseases, and short bursts of heavy rain make potato production unsustainable. This unfavorable environment negatively affects potato productivity and yield levels. Within the next few years, conditions will likely deteriorate even more.

Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface
