Biodegradable mulch film potentially offers an encouraging alternative to conventional
(petroleum-based) plastic films. Since biodegradable films are more susceptible to rapid …

Anthropogenic activities have raised nitrogen (N) input worldwide with profound implications
for soil carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. The specific impacts of N input on soil organic …

Continuous cropping has can majorly damage the soil ecosystem, leading to an increased
prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms and severe yield losses for watermelons. Multiple …

Coordinating multiple cultivated land functions (CLFs) has become a key challenge for land
system science. Identifying the dynamic evolution and mechanisms of multiple CLFs will …

Diversified cropping is a crucial management practice for increasing carbon (C) and
nitrogen (N) sequestration in agroecosystems. However, knowledge gaps regarding the …

Many anthropogenic pressures are being exerted on terrestrial ecosystems globally,
perhaps the most pressing of which include microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm in size) pollution and …

Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition in response to global change represents a critical
uncertainty in coupled carbon (C) cycle-climate models. Much of this uncertainty arises from …

Legume-based crop diversification is recommended to enhancing yields as well as
agroecosystem functions and services. However, the effect of legume inclusion with optimal …

Organic fertilization in agroecosystems is an efficient fertilization management for
sequestering carbon (C). Microbial metabolism affects C sequestration by influencing the …

Purpose Intercropping is an important agricultural management that has been applied
worldwide. Although intercropping improves soil nutrients and crop productivity, its effects on …
