Soil microbes are crucial for improving soil quality and productivity. Plastic film mulch (FM),
in conjunction with fertilization, has significantly improved crop yields over vast areas of …

The overgrazing and overutilization of pastures can lead to serious degradation that can be
restored through proper management practices. However, little is known about the dynamic …

Different types of fertilizer can significantly change soil fertility. The response of soil bacterial
communities to different fertilization regimes has been studied widely, but the inconsistent …

Efficient nitrogen (N) fertilizer management strategies are integral components of rational
farmland cropping systems. Ridge-furrow plastic film mulching (RFPM) is a widely used …

Soil microbial communities maintain multiple ecosystem functions in terrestrial ecosystems.

Abstract The Loess Plateau of China is a typical dryland farming region. It is known that
mulching practices can maintain soil hydrothermal environment and improve crop …

The application of plastic film mulch and the return and incorporation of crop straw into
topsoil as independent treatments affect soil physicochemical properties, including nutrient …

Reclamation of coastal land is increasingly being used as a means of raising agricultural
productivity and improving food security in China. Applications of organic and inorganic …

Plastic film mulching (PM) is used widely to improve crop water productivity in the arid
regions of Northwest China. However, there are increasing concerns about the potential …
