Tillage practices during the fallow period benefit water storage and yield in dryland wheat
crops. However, there is currently no clarity on the responses of soil organic carbon (SOC) …

Faced with the decline in sustainable farmlands that have resulted from pressure to increase
yields, there is a need for science-backed tillage practices that can improve soil ecology and …

Increasing soil organic matter (SOM) contents improve the resilience of productive soil for
future sustainability particularly in poor soil (< 1% SOM). This study sought to elucidate how …

Management practices that alter plant residue production and distribution influence SOC
(soil organic carbon) dynamics. The objectives of this study were to investigate the impacts …

In order to explore the effects of subsoiling tillage measures on the construction of soil
cultivated horizon and the yield and water use efficiency of winter wheat in the North China …

Tillage is known to significantly affect crop residue decomposition and soil nutrient
dynamics, but the impacts of tillage on soil and plant macronutrients concentration with time …

Tillage systems and nutrient management influence soil chemical properties that can impact
the long‐term sustainability of dryland production systems. This study was conducted to …

Excessive tillage and soil compaction threaten the sustainable farmlands in the Huang-Huai-
Hai Plains of China. Our study explores tillage practices to improve soil and root ecology …

Current tillage practices in the important winter wheat–summer maize double cropping
system of the North China Plain are under debate because of negative effects on soil quality …

No-till (NT) practice has been widely adopted to improve soil quality, but soil compaction
and soil organic carbon (SOC) stratification under long-term NT limit crop production …
