This study examines how different soil management practices (no-tillage (NT) and traditional tillage (TT), with and without liming)affect N mineralization and the accumulation of inorganic N during drying periods in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate. Using soils from a long-term field experiment in southwestern Spain, we evaluated changes in inorganic N, enzymatic activities, and the abundance of genes related to N cycling during a summer fallow under field conditions, and in a complementary laboratory incubation under controlled temperature conditions. Field results showed a significant accumulation of inorganic N (from 6.47 to 11.43 mg N kg⁻¹) during drying, with a synergistic effect of NT and liming. Enzymatic activities (β-glucosaminidase, leucine aminopeptidase, proteases) and gene abundances (chiA, pepA, apr) declined with drying but remained higher under NT than TT. The laboratory study confirmed that management-induced differences in N cycling were mainly due to changes in soil biogeochemical properties (organic matter, pH), rather than changes in microclimatic conditions (soil temperature and moisture). While NT and liming enhanced N mineralization and microbial resilience, they also promoted inorganic N accumulation, increasing the potential for N losses (e.g., via N₂O emissions) upon rewetting. These results highlight the importance of integrating adaptive practices, such as summer cover cropping, into conservation agriculture to reduce N losses and improve nutrient use efficiency under increasingly frequent drought conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49503,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Tillage Research","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 106623"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143878954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization in wheat farming systems has resulted in lower N use efficiency (NUE) in arid regions of China. We hypothesize that prolonged N fertilization alters the fate of fertilizer-derived N, thus affecting NUE. To test this hypothesis, we conducted two on-farm <sup>15</sup>N tracer experiments during the 2021–2022 growing seasons, within a long-term N fertilization trial on a monoculture spring wheat field. The trial included five N-fertilizer rate treatments: N1 (0 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>), N2 (52.5 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>), N3 (105 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>), N4 (157.5 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>), and N5 (210 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>).

An on-the-go soil sensing platform was used to predict and map topsoil PD in a Luvisol field in Belgium and two Cambisol fields in Spain.

We found that the responses of enzyme stoichiometries and microbial P limitations determined by vector model to N addition differed between bulk and rhizospheric soils.

A two-year maize field experiment was conducted to examine the potentials of ridge-furrow mulching (RFM) and flat mulching (FM) with plastic films in a semiarid rainfed site, with flat planting without mulching as CK. Five sowing dates (SD1–5) were arranged with interval of two weeks, and SD2 was normal sowing date. The results showed that the increase in soil temperature under plastic film mulching effectively compensated for the insufficient effective accumulated air temperature across growing seasons. Moreover, plastic mulching significantly enhanced the temperature suitability degree (TSD) for maize growth during both vegetative and reproductive growth periods. And the sowing dates significantly influenced the TSD during reproductive growth period. Regardless of sowing dates, the biomass in FM and RFM was 25.7 % and 32.2 % higher (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05) in 2019, and 37.2 % and 45.3 % higher (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05) in 2020, respectively, relative to CK. The maximum biomass was observed in the SD1 or SD2 of RFM group, up to 22,146.8 kg ha⁻¹ . The dynamics of grain yield followed similar trends as those of biomass. Notably, the higher TSD turned to evidently favor biomass accumulation and yield formation. Furthermore, the optimal sowing date window (OSDW) for biomass and grain yield were longer under FM and RFM, relative to CK. Therefore, plastic film mulching resulted in greater promotion potentials to enhance maize climate resilience. Despite of a concern about residual pollution, a relatively complete management system, including the reasonable use of plastic film and timely recycling of residual film, has been established over last 10 years. The implementation of relevant policies can minimize environmental risks. This study provides novel insights into the mechanisms of high and stable yielding under film mulching planting from the perspectives of TSD and OSDW for maize production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49503,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Tillage Research","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 106611"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
