Agricultural Water Management, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 298, С. 108839 - 108839

Опубликована: Апрель 30, 2024

Iron (Fe) and methane (CH4) emissions play crucial roles in the carbon cycling of paddy field ecosystems. However, little is known about effect mechanism Fe transformation on CH4 emission from fields, especially with different water management methods. In this study, dynamic changes forms soil organic content were observed fields under flooded irrigation (FI) water-saving (WSI) (including intermittent (II) controlled (CI)). addition, structural equation model was used to clarify response relationship between ions fields. The results indicate that cumulative WSI reduced by 29.03–61.29 %. reasons are as follows (i) increased oxidation ability increasing ferric iron (Fe3+) fields; (ii) could reduce substrate utilization methanogens transforming oxide increase binding capacity dissolved carbon, which production. compared II, CI had higher Fe3+ content, Fe-bound lower acetate so it production capacity. summary, promotes direct indirectly reduces facilitating combination oxides substrates. These findings deepen our understanding mechanisms provide new insights for research sequestration reduction

'All we are is a lot of talking nitrogen' stated by an American playwright, Arthur Miller, precisely expressing the crucial nature nitrogen for ecosystem. On one hand, deficiency limits food production in developing areas, while excessive compromises soil fertility, human health, and agricultural environmental sustainability industrialized world. other more than half applied soils usually lost to environment terms nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrate (NO3) leaching. Therefore, it required increase use efficiency plants improve crop production, save raw materials used produce fertilizers, mitigate adverse effects on health environment. This multidisciplinary review highlights natural synthetic sources nitrogen, emission different regions, applications, toxicity economic aspects management approaches such as biological fixation, 4 R strategy, enhanced nitrification inhibitors, digital mapping context sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Enhanced strategies for water and fertilizer management to optimize yields and promote environmental sustainability in the mechanized harvesting of ratoon rice in Southeast China

Agricultural Water Management, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 302, С. 108956 - 108956

Опубликована: Июль 26, 2024

Ratoon rice utilizes the axillary buds sprouting from remaining stubble of main crop after harvest to form panicles, enabling a second harvest. However, mechanized harvesting often resulted in damage stubbles rolling zone, potentially leading reduced yield. Enhancing number tillers zone through optimized agronomic measures was crucial for achieving higher research on water and fertilizer management corresponding low ratoon under limited. A two-factor experiment conducted assess impacts regimes (flooded; alternate wetting drying) nitrogen (0 kg N ha−1; Tiller promotion 90 Split application: 60 ha−1 + Booting stage 30 ha−1) yield formation, greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint rice. The results indicated significant effects Compared single application tiller-promoting coupled with continuous flooding (N-FL), drying (SN-AWD) significantly increased average annual by 25.4 %.

Land, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(7), С. 1001 - 1001

Опубликована: Июль 6, 2024

Since the 21st century, rice–crayfish fields have been widely distributed in Yangtze River Basin China. However, spontaneous construction of these by farmers has given rise to issue field fragmentation (RCFF) certain areas. This study introduced a novel method for evaluating RCFF using township-level administrative regions as evaluation units. Three key elements, including five landscape indices, were employed: area and edge metrics (rice–crayfish ratio), shape (perimeter–area ratio distribution), aggregation patch density, percentage like adjacencies, contagion index). The was quantified its spatial distribution pattern analyzed through entropy GIS analysis. Empirical studies conducted Qianjiang city yielded insightful results: (1) contribution elements ranked descending order follows: > metrics. (2) Yunlianghu farm lowest at 0.06, while Yangshi subdistrict 2 highest 0.94. exhibited distinct trend, showing gradual decrease from northeast southwest Qianjiang, low-RCFF southwest. system enables local government decisionmakers comprehend current status management construction.
