Soil aeration is a crucial factor that regulates crop residue decomposition, and the chemical
composition of decomposing crop residues may change the forms and availability of soil …

Straw decomposition plays an important role in soil carbon sequestration. Litter quality and
climate condition are considered to be key factors that regulate straw decomposition. This …

Understanding farmland ecosystem processes such as straw decomposition under nitrogen
fertilization is critical for predicting carbon and nitrogen cycles. Nitrogen fertilization …

The anaerobic decomposition of plant biomass is an important aspect of global organic
carbon cycling. While the anaerobic metabolism of cellulose and hemicelluloses to methane …

Returning crop straw to the field not only improves the nitrogen (N) supplying capacity and N
retention of soil but also decreases the amount of rural organic waste and prevents air …

Retaining the organic carbon (C) content of agricultural straw when returned to soil is
restricted by rapid decomposition. In order to clarify the difference in returned straw …

Understanding the change in chemical composition of crop residues during their
decomposition is crucial to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the effects of residue …

Abstract Effects of contact between the soil and crop residues on the processes of residue
decomposition are still poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the …

Crop straw incorporation is a useful approach for increasing the quantity and changing the
chemical composition of soil organic matter (SOM). This process is influenced by soil …

Soil aggregation is deeply impacted by the quality of organic materials. However, the
organic material features that control soil aggregation dynamics are still largely unknown. In …
