Published: April 18, 2024

Abstract Biochar can improve soil health and fix CO 2 by altering microenvironment, thus impacting the global carbon cycle change of ecological environment. Recent studies show that cotton byproduct-derived biochar is a potential effective amendment for improvement so it could play an important role in agricultural environmental conservation. In this work, research topics on last decade are systematically reviewed better understanding progresses (i) morphologic physicochemical characterization, (ii) latest hotspots trends, (iii) roles reclamation, (iv) relevant sequestration mechanisms. Finally, future directions regarding mingled to environment discussed. Insight derived from work would provide scientific basis promoting more applications restoration fixation. Graphical

Tillage practices govern crop quality and quantity through soil nutrient availability root systems. A deeper knowledge of the impact conservation tillage on chemical characteristics (such as pH, organic carbon, macro micronutrient storage distribution) is required for both promotion agricultural sustainability environmental preservation. This study assesses changes in features properties context a long-field experiment with different systems straw management practices. Research findings revealed that compared conventional (CT) conservative partial retention (MT) no-tillage mulching (NT) substantially boosted carbon (OC) (by 6–19%), total nitrogen (TN) 2–12%), available potassium content (AK) 2–5%), 0–30 cm depth. However, stratification trend was observed (Zn, Fe, Mn) The concentration Cu indicates constant pattern profile higher under MT (1.41 mg kg−1) to NT (1.10 kg−1).

Soil health is essential for sustainable agricultural operations, as it supports farm production and ecosystem services. The adoption of agriculture practices such conservation tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation provides significant benefits both productivity environmental sustainability. These can increase soil biodiversity, nutrient cycling, organic matter, which the resilience agroecosystems. This narrative review synthesizes insights literature, with a focus on common farming that improve enhance yields, reviewing results various approaches pointing out challenges opportunities implementing larger scale. paper discusses effects tillage cropping system health, including no-till conventional systems, rotation, cultivator combinations, fertilizer application. study found more beneficial to than tillage—which still debated among scientists farmers—and different methods interact differently. In contrast, yields intercropping, crops monocropping. For maintaining fertility, this shows could be increased by zero tillage. identifies most suitable improving while boosting minimal negative impact soil. It also highlights these in quality.

Straw Returning Proves Advantageous for Regulating Water and Salt Levels, Facilitating Nutrient Accumulation, and Promoting Crop Growth in Coastal Saline Soils

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(6), P. 1196 - 1196

Published: June 1, 2024

Saline soils limit plant growth due to high salinity. Straw returning has proven effective in enhancing soil adaptability and agricultural stability on saline lands. This study evaluates the effects of different straw-returning methods—straw mulching (SM), straw incorporation (SI), biochar (BC)—on nutrients, water dynamics, salinity a barley–cotton rotation system using field box experiments. SM improved retention during barley’s jointing heading stages, while SI was more its filling maturation stages. BC showed lesser storage capacity.

Effects of Different Straw Return Methods on Farmland Carbon Footprint and Water Footprint

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. 73 - 73

Published: Dec. 31, 2024

Straw return is an effective agricultural measure that influences the ecological environment. In context of global climate change and need for sustainable development, it essential to explore how straw methods affect This study conducted a two-year field experiment comparing different treatments: no (CK), directly (SR), returned in deep ditches (ISR). The results showed SR treatment increased soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (21.7~25.8%) nitrogen (DON) (8.5~43.8%) compared CK. ISR significantly enhanced DOC (13.1~33.0%) DON (14.2~50.8%). Both treatments also improved maize growth indicators, such as leaf area index (LAI), stem biomass, grain biomass. terms environmental effects, reduced N2O emissions lowered footprint (CF) water (WF). Specifically, yield-scale (CFy) (WFy) were by 12.0% 9.1%, respectively, 2023. Correlation analysis revealed key factors these benefits. Furthermore, reduction WF CF was closely linked SWC higher biomass all organs. Therefore, we demonstrated not only promotes accumulation but effectively mitigates consumption on farmland. It may be related boosting levels. Overall, method holds promise supporting farming practices.
