Article Abstract

In order to study the differences in the effects of mulching measures on soil organic carbon (SOC) and carbon fractions under different environments and farmland management measures, the Meta-quantitative analysis method was used to analyze the changes in SOC and carbon fractions under straw and film mulching, and the environmental and farmland management measures at the test sites were grouped to explore their change characteristics under different environments. Compared with film mulching, straw mulching was more beneficial to increase SOC, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) contents. The SOC percentage change rate under straw mulching was 14.93% higher than that under film mulching when the mean annual temperature was higher than 10℃, and the SOC percentage change rate under film mulching was 6.47% higher than that under straw mulching when the mean annual temperature was lower than 10℃. The difference in MBC percentage change rate between different mean annual precipitation amounts reached 27.02%. Crop rotation was conducive to increasing SOC and carbon fractions under straw mulching, but the percentage change rate of SOC under film mulching without crop rotation decreased by 4.52%. There was a significant positive correlation between DOC response ratio and SOC response ratio, but no significant correlation between MBC response ratio and SOC response ratio, and the film mulching time had a significant negative correlation with SOC response ratio. Compared with film mulching, straw mulching was more conducive to increasing SOC and active carbon fractions content under various environmental and management measures.

The Ningxia Yellow River Irrigation Area is located in a temperate arid zone, where the development of double-cropping systems is strongly restricted by high evaporation. The application of modified carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) can induce the binding of surface soil particles to form a soil film, achieve a mulching effect, and improve soil hydrothermal conditions. To elucidate the hydrothermal characteristics of soil film in farmland, we conducted an experiment with the treatments including ammonium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-NH) application rates of 0 (CK, control), 50 (T), 100 (T), 200 (T), and 300 kg·hm(T) to induce soil film formation, and analyzed their effects on soil temperature at 20 cm depth, soil water content, and crop yield in a spring wheat-summer maize rotation system.

The implementation of appropriate flame-spraying treatment on used polyethylene (PE) mulch film is a potential method for the rapid abatement of PE contamination in dryland fields. This study utilized self-made flame-spraying equipment to prepare thermo-oxidatively aged PE microplastics (aPE-MPs), with their structural properties characterized through analytical techniques. The effects of varying concentrations of aPE-MP suspensions (corresponding to residual film levels equivalent to 5-300 years of continuous mulching) on seed germination and seedling growth of field pea (Pisum sativum var.

To revive the practice of planting legume green manure (GM) in the fallow period in rainfed agricultural areas, it is essential to demonstrate the benefits of this practice on the yields and water use efficiency (WUE) of subsequent crops, especially when integrating with optimized water and fertilizer management. We conducted a field experiment to determine the positive effects of planting legume GM in the summer fallow on the yield, WUE, and nitrogen uptake efficiency (NupE) of subsequent winter wheat, which was grown with plastic film mulching and integrated fertilization in the Loess Plateau of China. A split-plot-designed experiment was arranged with two main treatments, namely (1) wheat planting followed by GM planting in the summer fallow (GM) and (2) conventional wheat monoculture followed by bare land summer fallow (BL), and three sub-treatments: (1) control treatment without any chemical fertilizer (Ct), (2) application of chemical N, P, and K as basal fertilizer (B), and (3) application of basal fertilizer plus wheat straw return (BS).
