Abstract

Supporting food security while maintaining ecosystem sustainability is one of the most important global challenges for humanity. Optimization of cropping systems is expected to promote the ecosystem services of agroecosystems. Yet, how and why cropping system influences the trade-offs between economic profitability and multiple ecosystem services remain poorly understood.
We investigate the influence of six cropping systems on trade-offs between economic profitability and multiple ecosystem services after considering 36 agricultural ecosystem properties using field experiment data from 2020 to 2022.
We show that designing cropping system is a critical tool to closing the gap between ecosystem sustainability and commercial profitability. Cropping system with three harvests within 2 yr had higher performance in overall ecosystem multiple services through enhancement of supporting, regulating, and economic performance without compromising provisioning compared with four other systems. These systems diminished the trade-off among multiple services, resulting in a ‘win-win’ situation for economics and multiple services. By contrast, the monoculture and double cropping systems lead to a strong trade-off between pairwise services including ecosystem health and profitability.
Our work illustrates the substantial potential of rotation systems with three harvests within 2 yr in enforcing ecosystem services and closing the trade-offs among multiple agricultural ecosystem services.

优化种植制度，缩小经济盈利能力与环境健康之间的差距。

在维持生态系统可持续性的同时支持粮食安全是人类面临的最重要的全球挑战之一。种植制度的优化有望促进农业生态系统的生态系统服务。然而，人们对种植制度如何以及为什么影响经济盈利能力和多种生态系统服务之间的权衡仍知之甚少。我们使用2020年至2022年的田间实验数据，考虑了36个农业生态系统特性，研究了六种种植制度对经济盈利能力和多种生态系统服务之间权衡的影响。我们表明，设计种植系统是缩小生态系统可持续性和商业盈利能力之间差距的关键工具。2年内三次收获的种植系统与其他四个系统相比，yr在不影响供应的情况下，通过增强支持、监管和经济性能，在整体生态系统多服务方面具有更高的性能。这些系统减少了多种服务之间的权衡，导致了经济和多种服务的“双赢”局面。相比之下，单一种植和双季种植制度导致了包括生态系统健康和盈利能力在内的成对服务之间的强烈权衡。我们的工作说明了轮作系统在2年内三次收获的巨大潜力 yr在加强生态系统服务和结束多种农业生态系统服务之间的权衡方面。

期刊介绍： New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
