THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 951:175409.

Abstract
The significance of sulphur (S) availability for crop yield and quality is highlighted under the global S deficiency scenario. However, little is known about the temporal trend in belowground organic S mineralisation when restoring land to productive agricultural systems, particularly for the deeper soil parts. Therefore, we investigated the decomposition of 35S-labelled methionine in surface (0-30 cm) and subsurface soil (30-60 cm and 60-90 cm) over a 48-year recultivation chronosequence (sampled after1, 8, 14, 24 and 48 years). Soil total sulphur (TS) significantly (p < 0.05) increased in surface soil but not in subsurface soils after 48 years of recultivation. Overall, the immobilisation of 35S-methionine (35S-MB) in subsurface soils relative to year 1 significantly decreased over the chronosequence but did not change in the surface samples. The 35S-MB values in subsurface soils were positively corrected with soil carbon (C) stoichiometry (Pearson correlation, p < 0.05), suggesting the immobilisation of methionine was likely constrained by microbial C demand in deep soil. Compared to year 1, 35S-SO42- released from 35S-methionine significantly declined throughout the older (≥ 8 years) soil profiles. Significant (p < 0.05) changes in the organic 35S partition (35S immobilisation and 35S released as sulphate) were observed in year 8 after the soil was recultivated with N-fixing alfalfa or fertilisers. Whereas, after that (≥ 14 years), soil organic S partition remained affected when conventional tillage and agricultural crops dominated this site. Indicating that the effect of recultivation on organic S decomposition depends on the manner of recultivation management. Our study contributes to an improved understanding of amino acid S and organic S mineralisation under severe anthropogenic disturbance.

P-limitation regulates the accumulation of soil aggregates organic carbon during the restoration of Pinus tabuliformis forest. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118936. [PMID: 38657847 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Artificial forest restoration is widely recognized as a crucial approach to enhance the potential of soil carbon sequestration. Nevertheless, there is still limited understanding regarding the dynamics of aggregate organic carbon (OC) and the underlying mechanisms driving these dynamics after artificial forest restoration. To address this gap, we studied Pinus tabuliformis forests and adjacent farmland in three recovery periods (13, 24 and 33 years) in the Loess Plateau region. Samples of undisturbed soil from the surface layer were collected and divided into three aggregate sizes: >2 mm (large aggregate), 0.25-2 mm (medium aggregate), and <0.25 mm (small aggregate). The aim was to examine the distribution of OC and changes in enzyme activity within each aggregate size. The findings revealed a significant increase in OC content for all aggregate sizes following the restoration of Pinus tabuliformis forests. After 33 years of recovery, the OC of large aggregates, medium aggregates and micro-aggregates increased by (30.23 ± 9.85)%, (36.71 ± 21.60)% and (37.88 ± 16.07)% respectively compared with that of farmland. Moreover, the restoration of Pinus tabuliformis forests lead to increased activity of hydrolytic enzymes and decreased activity of oxidative enzymes. It is noteworthy that the regulation of carbon in all aggregates is influenced by soil P-limitation. In large aggregates, P-limitation promotes the enhancement of hydrolytic enzyme activity, thereby facilitate OC accumulation. Conversely, in medium and small aggregates, P-limitation inhibits the increase in oxidative enzyme activity, resulting in OC accumulation. The results emphasize the importance of P-limitation in regulating OC accumulation during the restoration of Pinus tabulaeformis forest, in which large aggregates play a leading role.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 364:121487. [PMID: 38889650 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
This study explores agronomic management (AM) effects on soil parameters under diverse conditions. Investigating tillage practices (TP), nutrient management (NM), crop rotation (CR), organic matter (OM), irrigation management (IM), and mulching (MS), it aims to reveal impacts on soil productivity, nutrient availability, microbial activity, and overall health. Varied TP affect soil quality through compaction, porosity, and erosion risk. Proper NM is vital for nutrient cycling, preventing imbalances and acidification. CR disrupts pest cycles, reduces weed pressure, and boosts nutrient recycling. OM management enhances soil quality by influencing organic carbon, nutrient availability, pH, fertility, and water retention. Optimizing IM regulates soil water content without inducing waterlogging. MS contributes to OM content, nutrient retention, soil structure, and temperature-moisture regulation, benefiting soil biota, aggregation, soil health and agricultural productivity. The review emphasizes integrated nutrient, CR, and OM management's positive impact on fertility and microbial activity. Different TP and IM variations impact soil health and crop production. Judicious implementation of these practices is essential for sustainable agriculture. This synthesis identifies uncertainties and proposes research directions for optimizing productivity while ensuring environmental sustainability. Ongoing inquiry can guide a balanced approach between yields and resilient soil stewardship for future generations.

Green manure removal with reduced nitrogen improves saline-alkali soil organic carbon storage in a wheat-green manure cropping system. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:171827. [PMID: 38513860 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
The incorporation of green manure into cropping systems is a potential strategy for sequestering soil carbon (C), especially in saline-alkali soil. Yet, there are still unknown about the substitution impacts of green manure on nitrogen (N) fertilizer in wheat-green manure multiple cropping system. Herein, a five-year field experiment was performed to determine the impact of three levels of N fertilizer inputs [i.e., N fertilizer reduced by 0 % (100N), 10 % (90 N), and 20 % (80 N)] with aboveground biomass of green manure removal (0GM) and return (100GM) on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and its primary determinants. The results demonstrated that no significant interaction on SOC storage was detected between green manure and N fertilizer management. 80 N enhanced SOC storage in bulk soil by 7.4 and 13.2 % in 0-20 cm soil depth relative to 100 N and 90 N (p < 0.05). Regardless of N fertilizer levels, compared with 100GM, 0GM increased SOC storage in bulk soil by 14.2-34.6 % in 0-40 cm soil depth (p < 0.05). This was explained by an increase in soil macro-aggregates (>2 and 0.25-2 mm) proportion contributing to SOC physical protection. Meanwhile, the improvement of SOC storage under 0GM was due to the decrease of soil C- and N-acquisition enzyme activities, and microbial resource limitation. Alternatively, the variation partitioning analyses (VPA) results further suggested that C- and N-acquisition enzyme activities, as well as microbial resource limitation were the most important factors for SOC storage. The findings highlighted those biological factors played a dominant role in SOC accumulation compared to physical factors. The aboveground biomass of green manure removal with N fertilizer reduced by 20 % is a viable option to enhance SOC storage in a wheat-green manure multiple cropping system.

Abstract
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a vital role in improving soil quality and alleviating global warming. Understanding the dynamic changes in SOC is crucial for its accumulation induced by compost application in agroecosystem. In this study, soil samples were collected from three treatments: high-rate bio-compost (BioMh), low-rate bio-compost (BioMl), and control (CK, no fertilization) during 2002-2020 in a wheat-maize double cropping system in North China. The soils were separated into three functional fractions, i.e., coarse particle organic matter (cPOM, >250 μm), microaggregates (μAgg, 53-250 μm) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM, < 53 μm), and the associated SOC contents were determined. During 1993-2002, SOC contents in bulk soil significantly increased with the duration in the BioMh and BioMl plots. However, there was no significant correlation between SOC content and duration during 2002-2020. These results suggested that compost application positively improved SOC sequestration, while the duration of SOC sequestration (i.e., the longevity of increased SOC with time) under compost inputs maintained only 9 years. Moreover, there was a significant increase in mean annual SOC contents in bulk soil with compost application rate during 2002-2020, indicating that carbon saturation did not occur. Additionally, the SOC contents in the cPOM fraction increased with time (p < 0.01), but the corresponding μAgg and MAOM associated SOC was insignificant (p > 0.05). The MAOM fraction exhibited no additional carbon accumulation with expanding compost application, confirming a hierarchical carbon saturation in these fractions. We concluded that soils under wheat-maize double cropping system in North China have greater potential to sequester C through additional compost inputs, despite showing hierarchical saturation behavior in the non-protected coarse particulate fraction.

Long-term conservation tillage improves soil stoichiometry balance and crop productivity based on a 17-year experiment in a semi-arid area of northern China. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 908:168283. [PMID: 37924889 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
Although conservation tillage has been widely implemented to address the challenge to improve crop yield and soil quality with fewer environmental costs, its long-term effects on crop yields and soil stoichiometry balance remain uncertain. Here, four different long-term (17-year) tillage practices (conventional tillage (CT), deep scarification (DS), no tillage (NT), and ridge tillage (RT)) were conducted in northern China to evaluate their effects on crop yield, soil nutrients, C sequestration, and soil stoichiometry. The conservation tillage (DS, NT, and RT) increased the recent 5-year average yields by 12.2 %-20.1 % compared with CT, respectively. RT showed the highest C sequestration potential of 10.0 t/ha, followed by DS and NT (6.0 t/ha and 4.4 t/ha, respectively). The DS, NT, and RT enhanced soil available N and K with the best effect for NT, but DS reduced soil total and available P. The conservation tillage significantly increased the C:N, C:P, C:K, and N:P ratios, indicating it sustained soil balanced stoichiometry. Correlation analysis indicated crop yield was closely related to soil C:N, C:P, C:K, and N:P. The structural equation model revealed that the C, N, and P affected C:N and C:P ratios, thus improving crop yield under long-term conservation tillage. In summary, long-term conservation tillage improves soil stoichiometry balance and thus crop yields with great C sequestration potential to achieve sustainable agricultural management in rain-fed farmland.

Abstract
As ecosystems subject to periodic tides, estuarine wetlands have a significant capacity to sequester carbon over time. Understanding the distribution patterns of soil carbon components and identifying the key factors influencing these patterns are key to gaining insight into the function of "blue carbon" in coastal wetlands. To clarify the response of soil carbon components to wetland types and hydrological effects in estuarine wetlands, the typical estuarine wetlands in Jiaozhou Bay, China were selected as the study area, and the soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), soil inorganic carbon (SIC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) under different wetland types and hydrological effects were investigated. The results showed that the SOC, SIC, and MBC contents were significantly influenced by the wetland types. The SOC and MBC contents were as follows: mudflat (GT) > Phragmites australis wetland (PA) > Suaeda salsa wetland (SS). The overall content of SIC was highest in PA, followed by GT and SS. Hydrological effects had significant influence on the soil MBC, DOC and DIC contents. With the increase hydrological effects, the soil MBC content decreased by 38.89%-72.22%, while the DOC and DIC contents increased by 15.13%-19.89% and 13.41%-86.70%, respectively. The results of the correlation analysis and structural equation model indicated that wetland types and hydrological effects directly or indirectly (through changes in soil pH, bulk density, water content, and salinity) drove the changes in soil carbon contents in estuarine wetlands. Altogether, our findings implied that the alterations of wetland types and hydrological effects will affect the blue carbon function of estuarine wetlands. In the future, for accurate assessment of a blue carbon budget for estuarine wetlands, the differences in wetland types and hydrological effects of different areas should be considered.

Abstract
Conservation tillage is an important reform of traditional tillage, which has significant carbon sequestration and emission reduction effects. It is important to investigate the influencing factors and spatiotemporal heterogeneity of net carbon sink of conservation tillage for realizing the "dual carbon" target, and facilitating agricultural sustainable development. This study used the coefficient accounting method to calculate the carbon sink and carbon emission of conservation tillage in China from 2000 to 2019, respectively. Based on this, the net carbon sink of conservation tillage was measured. Then, the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of influencing factors on net carbon sink of conservation tillage was analyzed by using the geographically and temporally weighted regression model. The results showed that (1) the net carbon sink of conservation tillage in China was significant and had potential to have a constant rise; (2) spatially, the net carbon sink of conservation tillage changed more variably in longitudinal direction. Specifically, the promotion effect of conservation tillage machinery gradually decreased from west to east. The planting structure and conservation tillage promotion intensity played key roles in improving net carbon sink of conservation tillage. (3) Temporally, the effect of conservation tillage machinery showed positive effect of decreasing yearly, while the positive effect of promotion intensity increased year by year. Planting structure and economic development negatively affected improvement on the net carbon sink of conservation tillage and the negative effect increased year by year. Additionally, the effect of education on the net carbon sink shifted from positive to negative over time. The study aims to provide a reference for the government to promote conservation tillage according to local conditions and to achieve the "dual carbon" target.
