The long-term impacts of CA on productivity, profitability, soil health, and environmental sustainability, however, is less understood in rice-based systems, particularly when compared with the conventional puddled transplanted rice–conventional till wheat (PTR–CT) system. A 10-year long field study was conducted in a randomized complete block design, involving two conventional till (CT)-, and six zero till (ZT)-based rice-wheat systems. There were three perfect CA systems of which two were double cropping ZT direct-seeded rice (DSR) - ZT wheat (ZTW) system. One of these had rice (rr) and wheat (w&lt;em&gt;r&lt;/em&gt;) residue retention, while the other had rice (rr), wheat (w&lt;em&gt;r&lt;/em&gt;), and brown manure (bm) crop residues. The third perfect CA system involved a triple cropping system with legume intensification, and, the residues of rice, wheat, and mungbean (ZTmb-ZTrr-ZTwr) retained on the soil surface to compare with the PTR-CT. The decade-long study revealed that the CA-based ZTmb-ZTrr-ZTwr system gave 16 % and 15 % higher wheat yield and rice-wheat system productivity, respectively (p &lt; 0.05) although it had 9 % lower rice yield (p &lt; 0.05) than PTR–CT. This system had 14 % lower sustainable yield index of rice, but 16 % and 7 % higher sustainability of wheat yield and system yield than that of PTR-CT, respectively. Besides, it fetched an additional net income of ₹ 11,800 ha&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt; from wheat and ₹35,900 ha⁻¹ from the entire system over PTR–CT (p &lt; 0.05). There was a significant improvement in soil fertility in this ZTmb-ZTrr-ZTwr system (p &lt; 0.05) over PTR-CT with respect to nitrate-N (93 %↑), available P (52 %↑), available K (84 %↑), Zn (49 %↑), and Mn (55 %↑), besides the increase in soil organic carbon by 46 % and total organic carbon by 51 %. Environmentally, this CA practice led to significant reduction in methane emissions by 83 % and global warming potential by 47 % compared with the PTR–CT. Furthermore, the yield-scaled emission of greenhouse gases declined by 43 % in rice, 55 % in wheat, and 54 % in rice-wheat system under this ZTmb-ZTrr-ZTwr treatment compared with conventional PTR–CT practice (p &lt; 0.05). Thus, this CA-based rice-wheat-mungbean system could offer long-term yield stability, economic gain, soil health improvement and climate resilience, and would be a viable alternative to conventional PTR–CT system with potential for scalability in global rice ecologies. The yield of direct-seeded rice usually varies/fluctuates over the years due to weeds intensity, Fe-deficiency, prevailing climate (rainfall, temperature), and intermittent water stress. Therefore, some strategic researches are required on a cropping system mode under conservation agriculture for effective management of weeds, nutrients, and water towards stabilizing the yield of direct-seeded rice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/di","PeriodicalId":7512,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment","volume":"396 ","pages":"Article 109990"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145107611","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}

Lepidoptera and Coleoptera differed in genus richness and composition between habitats, with the agroforest having fewer Lepidoptera and more Coleoptera genera than the rainforest. Coffee pollination success was largely attributable to diurnal pollinators in both the agroforest and rainforest. While nocturnal pollination effects were absent in the agroforest, we found some evidence of nocturnal pollination in the secondary rainforest, where coffee flowers accessible to diurnal and nocturnal pollinators had higher pollination success (60 %) than flowers accessible to diurnal pollinators alone (46 %).

The results showed that long-term TV significantly improved the SOC pool, and based on this, the implementation of EV resulted in a further increase in SOC content and carbon stocks by 7.21–24.05 % and 10.82–30.00 %, respectively. Plant- (31–53 %) and microbial-derived carbon (30–47 %) contributed similarly to SOC in vineyards, but their contents in the EV were generally higher than those in TV. Lignin phenol accumulation was predominantly regulated by plant properties (grapevine basal diameter and grapevine biomass [GB]) and soil abiotic factors (pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, etc.), while amino sugars were influenced by a smaller set of factors (grapevine root biomass, GB, pH, SOC, and microbial biomass phosphorus). GB and pH were particularly important as co-driver factors for soil carbon sequestration. Furthermore, the effect of viticulture mode on the SOC pool was most pronounced in the 0–10 cm soil depth, gradually decreasing with soil depth. In conclusion, we considered that the EV mode was a recommended practice for sustainable vineyard.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7512,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment","volume":"396 ","pages":"Article 109970"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145047574","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}

Alley cropping could be a suitable strategy to improve soil physical quality while increasing land productivity. The aim of this study was to assess if alley cropping in a mandarin orchard can affect water content at field capacity, wilting point, available water, aggregates stability, bulk density, and saturated hydraulic conductivity and if there is a relationship between these and crop production and quality. For this, three different treatments were applied: i) a mandarin monoculture (MM); ii) a mandarin crop diversified with a multiple cropping of vetch/barley and fava bean (AC1), with regulated deficit irrigation (RDI); and iii) a mandarin crop diversified with a rotation of fava bean, purslane and cowpea, with RDI (AC2). After three crop cycles, we found an increase in the amount of available water in all treatments, being slightly higher in AC2. The mean weight diameter of soil aggregates was reduced in all treatments, especially in AC1 (&gt; 45 %). Saturated hydraulic conductivity increased in all treatments, especially in MM. In addition, we observed an increase in moisture at field capacity and available water results in larger mandarins, with a lower proportion of soluble solids. Thus, the establishment of alley crops did not lead to a better evolution of the soil physical properties in the short-term. However, the effect of diversification systems on the soil physical properties would be appreciated with the establishment of the mandarin crop diversified with cover crops or perennial crops in a long-term period.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7512,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment","volume":"396 ","pages":"Article 109982"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145047623","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}
