The practice of intercropping in Rosa roxburghii Tratt orchards holds potential for enhancing fruit yield and financial benefits, yet remains insufficiently explored. To address this, we delved into the effects on viability R. Longli County, southern China. Orchards varying ages (4 years old 5 old; 7 8 old) were subjected to different treatments: (i) Zea mays Capsicum annuum intercropping, clean tillage younger orchards, (ii) Lolium perenne, natural grass, older orchards. Each treatment was assessed its impact benefits. In with Z. C. did not significantly elevate compared 4-year-old orchard; however, improved 5-year-old orchard. Concurrently, augmented total benefit by 9234.35–10,486.25 CNY ha−1 (Z. mays) 14,304.90–16,629.18 (C. annuum) tillage. L. perenne elevated 598.84–803.64 kg·ha−1, while grass reduced it 394.61–986.24 Additionally, boosted 8873.92–9956.56 ha−1, whereas negatively impacted benefits 78.42–2444.94 Collectively, our results illustrate that judicious selection intercrops, based orchard age conditions, can enhance both advantages This study furnishes vital insights management accentuates prospective merits production systems.

Societal Impact Statement Winegrape production is an essential cultural heritage and economic engine of many regions the world. Regenerative management, which gaining traction with industry consumers alike, relies on soil biodiversity for agroecosystem function, reducing external inputs increasing ecosystem resilience to climate change. We evaluated effects no‐till sheep integration vineyard function. No‐till had stronger microbial diversity, while grazing stimulated functioning. By providing a better understanding practices, we provide fundamental information growers that want embrace regenerative principles, ultimately contributing sustainability winegrape industry. Summary management aims optimize function diversity enhanced functionality. Understanding practices microorganisms crucial in context growing societal interest this type management. This study short‐term two conservation practices: no‐till, abundance, activity, network complexity prokaryotes fungi soil. Four treatments were applied 3 years: (1) grazed tilled, (2) non‐tilled, (3) non‐grazed (4) non‐tilled. hypothesized stacking (grazing no‐till) would increase complexity. Grazing strong α‐glucosidase, β‐glucosidase, cellulase, phosphatase, β‐xylosidase enzymatic activity by 82%, 48%, 61%, 39%, 55%, respectively, compared soils, not causing significant changes diversity.
