It is hypothesized that RP could break the bottleneck of flat planting (FP) in sub-humid areas that makes it difficult to improve wheat yield. Before recommending RP, it should be clarified how RP promotes the efficient utilization of water in fields. Therefore, we conducted a 2-year field experiment following a randomized block design with winter wheat under FP and RP in the Guanzhong Plain. Stable isotopes of δ<sup>2</sup>H and δ<sup>18</sup>O were used to quantify precipitation infiltration, root water uptake (RWU), and evaporation (E) and transpiration (T). The results showed that the average contribution proportion of precipitation to 0–100 cm soil layer under RP significantly increased by 10.4–22.9 % versus FP within five days after precipitation. RP also increased the average RWU proportion by 8.6 % in the 0–60 cm layer and decreased it by 28.1 % in the 60–200 cm layer compared to FP. Furthermore, RP significantly decreased E by 36.9 % and increased T by 8.9 % versus FP from greening to harvest stage, resulting in significantly depleted δ<sup>2</sup>H and δ<sup>18</sup>O values in soil water. Ultimately, the two-year average grain yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of winter wheat under RP increased significantly by 19.1 % and 21.6 % in comparison to FP, respectively. Overall, RP can conserve soil water by promoting precipitation infiltration and inhibiting E, thereby increasing T and improving grain yield and WUE. This study bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical dissemination of RP in the sub-humid region, and provides an empirical support for soil and water conservation and yield enhancement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49503,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Tillage Research","volume":"253 ","pages":"Article 106652"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144067214","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}

In Southern Brazil, about 24% of the area covered by the Pampa Biome was lost between 1985 and 2022, mainly due to conversion to agriculture, but also due to coal mining. This region holds the largest coal mine in Latin America, namely Candiota Mine, which represents 38 % of the Brazilian coal reserves. Minesoils typically exhibit severe compaction and poor structure, jeopardizing its reclamation and reintegration to the biome. This study aimed to assess the temporal changes in physical attributes and total organic carbon (TOC) content of a minesoil as affected by perennial grasses in a long-term field randomized complete block design experiment located in the Candiota Mine region. Based on prior research indicating superior performance of <em>Urochloa brizantha</em> for amelioration of this minesoil, we hypothesized a continued outstanding performance of this grass over the others to enhance the structure and increase the TOC content of the minesoil. Experimental treatments (with four replicates) consisted of perennial grasses used for minesoil revegetation: <em>Hemarthria altissima</em>, <em>Paspalum notatum</em>, and <em>Urochloa brizantha</em>. Minesoil bulk density (Bd), macroporosity (Ma), total porosity (Tp), percentage of macroaggregates and microaggregates, and TOC content were evaluated in the different treatments at 0.00−0.10 and 0.10−0.20 m layers at four restoration time points (0.5, 8.6, 14.6 and 20 years). The elevated percentage of macroaggregates and Bd close to or &gt; 1.50 Mg m<sup>−3</sup> observed for the 0.00−0.10 and 0.10−0.20 m layers up to 8.6 years reflect the persistent compaction caused by the traffic of heavy machinery on the minesoil during landscape restoration. Minesoil compaction was remarkably attenuated after 14.6 years of restoration, likely due to root-induced disruption of aggregates formed by compression followed by soil re-aggregation. This was consistent with a reduction of Bd and an increase of Ma and TOC of the minesoil at this same restoration age. <em>Urochloa brizantha</em> was the pioneer grass alleviating minesoil compaction but this outstanding performance leveled off after 14.6 years compared to the other grasses, contracting our hypothesis. This was confirmed by the ordination of <em>Urochloa brizantha</em> close mainly to <em>Hemarthria altissima</em> in a principal component analysis biplot of the data set, indicating similar interrelations of the examined attributes after 20 years of restoration, regardless of the grass species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49503,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Tillage Research","volume":"253 ","pages":"Article 106647"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143942900","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}

This review synthesizes current knowledge on how legume roots and associated microbial interactions contribute to these processes. The deep-rooting systems of legumes stabilize soil structure while increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions by up to 29.6 %. Through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), legumes reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers by up to 40 %, improving soil fertility and resilience. Additionally, legume cropping systems promote beneficial rhizobacterial communities, enhancing microbial nitrogen transformations. Meta-analyses reveal that intercropping legumes with non-legumes can significantly improve soil nutrient availability, microbial biomass, and overall crop yield while mitigating nitrogen losses. Furthermore, certain legume species thrive in saline soils, reducing soil salinity by up to 9.6 % and improving structure via organic matter accumulation and root-microbe interactions. Case studies across various agroecosystems highlight the real-world applications of legume-based strategies, showing measurable improvements in soil carbon storage, nitrogen cycling efficiency, and salinity reduction. These findings underscore the importance of site-specific legume management practices to maximize benefits under diverse environmental conditions.

Various doses of zeolite composites and organic additives were tested in a two-years pot experiment using soil with elevated levels of cadmium, zinc, and lead. Soil enzymes activity (dehydrogenase, urease, phosphatase, and arylsulfatase) were quantified, and soil ecotoxicity was assessed using Microtox®, Phytotoxkit, and Ostracodtoxkit assays. Microbial abundance, diversity, and community structure were analyzed via culturable methods and DNA sequencing. Mixtures containing zeolite-vermiculite composite had the most pronounced positive effect on enzymes activity. Notably, mixture with 3 % zeolite-carbon composite and 3 % leonardite significantly enhanced urease activity after the 2nd year (111 %). Mixtures containing zeolite–vermiculite composite showed an average <em>GMea</em> index about 10 % higher than those with zeolite–carbon composites. The <em>GMea</em> index proved more sensitive than TEI in assessing total enzymes activity and soil quality.

This study investigated the effects of fertilization on soil AK content and the influence of environmental conditions using a dataset of over 4000 soil samples from the Sichuan Basin collected in the 1980s and 2010s.

To address this knowledge gap, this study investigated the VHC of orchard soils converted from paddy fields (P-O sites) and drylands (D-O sites) using dye-tracer experiments. VHC was quantified using key indicators, including dye coverage (DC), maximum dyed depth (MMD), length index (L<sub>i</sub>), depth of diffusion area (U<sub>niFr</sub>), and percentage of preferential pathways (P<sub>F-fr</sub>). It showed that compared with P-O site, D-O sites exhibited significantly higher sand and gravel content, along with greater non-capillary porosity. Additionally, a relatively uniform and vertically distributed root system was observed at D-O sites. Thus, DC at D-O sites was 63.87 % higher than that at P-O sites, indicating stronger hydrological connectivity. Furthermore, U<sub>niFr</sub> at D-O sites was 12 times higher than that at P-O sites, while P<sub>F-fr</sub> exhibited the opposite trend, suggesting a more homogeneous infiltration pattern at D-O sites. However, no significant differences were observed in MMD and L<sub>i</sub>. At P-O sites, dye coverage fluctuated with depth, peaking at 10–20 cm, whereas at D-O sites, a consistent decreasing trend was observed. The stratification ratio (SR) of soil properties were identified as the most critical factor influencing VHC, explaining 70 % of the variation. Specifically, soil porosity (r = -0.60) had a direct impact on VHC, while soil texture (r = 0.80) and root distribution (r = -0.39) primarily influenced VHC indirectly through their effects on soil porosity. These findings suggest that the presence of a hydrological barrier layer in orchards converted from paddy fields restricts hydrological connectivity.

Here, the impacts of over 30 years of land use, encompassing dryland pasture (DryPast), irrigated-pasture (IrrPast) and cropland (IrrCrop), on MAOC were evaluated across three representative soils with varying drainage characteristics: well-drained Lismore soil (LIS), moderately drained Templeton soil (TEM), and poorly drained Waterton/Temuka soil (WAT).

We investigated postharvest yield and root biomass, post-tillage mulch thickness, soil water content (SWC) and temperature (Ts) via a monitoring system and portable instruments, soil chemical parameters via wet chemical analyses, and community-level physiological profiles of the soil microbial community using the MicroResp™ technique. The 6-year average soil respiration under SC (0.093 mgCO<sub>2</sub> m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>) was the same as the mean emission in NT. Both of these conservation treatments showed significantly elevated CO<sub>2</sub> emissions compared with the mean soil respiration under conventional MP (0.081 mgCO<sub>2</sub> m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>). We found that vegetation biomass via root respiration and denser straw residue cover could be major factors of higher CO<sub>2</sub> emission under SC. Additionally, the higher soil respiration in SC compared with MP could result from the high soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Similarly, elevated soil respiration in NT can occur because of the highest mean SOC and SWC as well as the densest straw residue layer among the three treatments. MicroResp™ measurements revealed differences in the substrate use efficiency of the microbial community under the three treatments, therefore suggesting that the treatment effect on CO<sub>2</sub> emission is caused by differences in microbial communities. Following crop production and soil respiration together, the CO<sub>2</sub> emission to yield ratio was the lowest under SC, similar to MP, and highest under NT treatment. The CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the treatments exhibited variability over the years. Therefore, longer experimental time is essential to find more established conclusions of different tillage techniques.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49503,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Tillage Research","volume":"253 ","pages":"Article 106644"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143928345","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}

Intercropping is a sustainable way that promotes P availability, addressing the multiple challenges of scarcity of P rock and exacerbating pollution. Yet, how intercropping regulates the transformation of P availability from inorganic and organic P fractions in unfertilized cropland is poorly understood. Here, we conducted a 5-year field experiment to evaluate the effects of intercropping and P fertilization on the P fractions and to explore the mechanisms of these effects. Results showed that P fertilization increased inorganic and organic P fractions, on average, 1.64 and 2.30 times higher than those in unfertilized soil. Intercropping interacted with P fertilization to affect the content of P fractions. More specifically, soil labile inorganic P increased by unfertilized intercropping, while decreased by fertilized intercropping than monoculture. Unfertilized intercropping increased the ratio of labile inorganic P to moderately stable organic P, while decreasing soil moderately stable organic P. Furthermore, soil microbial diversity and biomass, as well as soil properties predicted changes in P fractions, especially microbial biomass carbon was positively correlated with labile inorganic P and the ratio of both P fractions, while negatively correlated with moderately stable organic P. Our findings suggest that intercropping increases P availability in unfertilized soil by transforming moderately stable organic P to labile inorganic P, and accumulation of microbial biomass mainly drive transformation process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49503,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Tillage Research","volume":"253 ","pages":"Article 106633"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143928234","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}
