Abstract Ecological theory suggests that biodiversity has a positive and stabilizing effect on the delivery of ecosystem services. Yet, impacts increasing diversity cultivated crop species or varieties in agroecosystems are still under scrutiny. The available empirical evidence is scattered scope, agronomic geographic contexts, services may depend type diversification strategy used. To robustly assess effects agroecosystems, we compiled results 95 meta‐analyses integrating 5156 experiments conducted over 84 experimental years representing more than 54,500 paired observations 120 85 countries. Overall, our synthesis data from across globe shows enhances not only production (median +14%) but also associated (+24%, i.e., non‐cultivated plants animals), several supporting regulating including water quality (+51%), pest disease control (+63%) soil (+11%). However, there was substantial variability for each individual service between different strategies such as agroforestry, intercropping, cover crops, rotation variety mixtures. Agroforestry particularly effective delivering multiple services, is, regulation quality, diseases regulation, biodiversity, long‐term productivity quality. Variety mixtures, instead, provide lowest benefits, whereas other show intermediate results. Our highlight while represents very promising sustainable land management, contributing to enhanced yields, some others key

Abstract Northeast China is the leading grain production region in where one-fifth of national produced; however, consistent and reliable crop maps are still unavailable, impeding management decisions for regional food security. Here, we produced annual 10-m major crops (maize, soybean, rice) from 2017 to 2019, by using (1) a hierarchical mapping strategy (cropland followed classification), (2) agro-climate zone-specific random forest classifiers, (3) interpolated smoothed 10-day Sentinel-2 time series data, (4) optimized features spectral, temporal, texture characteristics land surface. The resultant have high overall accuracies (OA) spanning 0.81 0.86 based on abundant ground truth data. satellite estimates agreed well with statistical data most municipalities (R 2 ≥ 0.83, p < 0.01). This first effort at resolution, which permits assessing performance soybean rejuvenation plan rotation practice China.

Abstract Diversified cropping systems, especially those including legumes, have been proposed to enhance food production with reduced inputs and environmental impacts. However, the impact of legume pre-crops on main crop yield its drivers has never systematically investigated in a global context. Here, we synthesize 11,768 observations from 462 field experiments comparing legume-based non-legume systems show that legumes enhanced by 20%. These advantages decline increasing N fertilizer rates diversity system. The benefits are consistent among crops (e.g., rice, wheat, maize) evident across pedo-climatic regions. Moreover, greater (32% vs. 7%) observed low- high-yielding environments, suggesting increase low Africa or organic agriculture). In conclusion, our study suggests rotations offer critical pathway for enhancing production, when integrated into low-input low-diversity agricultural systems.

China is the country with most extensive development of multiple cropping worldwide a long history. Multiple plays an irreplaceable role in alleviating contradiction between more people and less land, ensuring national food security, increasing agricultural efficiency farmer's income. However, China's traditional needs to adapt requirement mechanization, high standardization due rapid rural economy. This study systematically summarized cropping, clarified impacts climate change, scientific technological progress on boundary reviewed principle ecological mechanism efficient utilization light, temperature, water, nitrogen phosphorus other nutrient resources cropping. To further advance better facilitate green transformation China, there need for widespread adoption advanced techniques, seamless integration machinery, incorporation cutting-edge technologies. These measures are essential efficiently unlock maximum potential available enhance crop yields.

Anthropogenic interventions play a key role in promoting positive feedback of soil–plant–environment interactions, but systematic reports on how anthropogenic activities influence soil physiochemical, microorganism-induced properties and health are still limited. Here, we assessed the impact interventions, including crop diversification rotations, physical disturbance, synthetic chemical inputs, biofertilizer use microbial community structure function, consequential effects agroecosystem productivity environmental sustainability. Summarizing results over 160 medium- to long‐term experiments from various soil-climatic zones across globe this review illustrated that (1) increasing rotations could bring impacts microorganisms health, especially legume crops rotations. (2) However, monocultures such as continuous wheat cropping negatively by enhancing host specific pathogens. (3) Physical agronomic practices tillage can alter communities shifting microclimate conditions. (4) Mineral nitrogen fertilizer use, leading nutrient input, may have exceeded planetary boundary N cycling, is causing acidification decreasing biomass. (5) Synthetic chemicals, essential for disease management (pesticides) yield sustainability (fertilization) conventional agroecosystems often toxic non-target microorganisms, while bio-fungicides biofertilizers—a more sustainable approach—carry significant risks trigger succession native community, thus impacting health.

Weeds are among the major constraints to any crop production system, reducing productivity and profitability. Herbicides most effective methods control weeds, reliance on herbicides for weed has increased significantly with advent of herbicide-resistant crops. Unfortunately, over-reliance leads environmental-health issues causing human health ecological concerns. Crop diversification can help manage weeds sustainably in systems. It acts as an organizing principle under which technological innovations insights be combined sustainably. Diversified cropping defined conscious inclusion functional biodiversity at temporal and/or spatial levels improve stability ecosystem services. helps reduce density by negatively impacting seed germination growth. Additionally, diversified farming systems more resilient climate change than monoculture provide better yield. However, there a few challenges adopting ranging from technology innovations, government policies, farm-level decisions, change, market conditions. In this review, we discuss how supports sustainable management, associated it, future management respect concept.
