“…The exception was for the SMU treatment, where total N content was significantly lower and total P content did not significantly differ in the 30-40 cm soil layer as compared to the CK treatment (Figure 3). Similar results were also reported in some previous studies [21][22][23][24][25]. In contrast, some other studies found that straw mulching did not significantly influence SOC [26][27][28][29] and total N [30] contents in the 20-40 cm soil depth.…”

Returning crop residues to the field after harvesting is a proven effective strategy for improving soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and crop productivity. However, the relationships between crop residue return modes, SOC and nutrient contents, and crop yields are still unclear. In this study, a field trial was conducted to investigate the effects of different maize straw return modes, i.e., straw mulching (SMU), straw deep ploughing (SDP), and control without straw return (CK), on soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient contents in soil layers of 0–40 cm in a Mollisol. The relationships between straw return modes, SOC and nutrient contents, and maize yield were evaluated. Compared with CK, SMU and SDP significantly increased SOC, total nitrogen (N), available N, total phosphorus (P), and available P contents in all soil layers. Relative to SMU, SOC, total N, available N, total P, and available P contents were significantly lower in soil layers of 0–10 cm, but they were significantly higher in soil layers of 20–40 cm in SDP. Redundancy analysis indicated that total N, available N, and SOC were major factors controlling maize yield. Structural equation modeling further showed that straw return modes indirectly affected maize yield by directly and preferentially affecting total N and available N contents. The results indicated that SMU and SDP were beneficial for increasing SOC and nutrient contents at the surface and subsurface soils, respectively. Optimizing a nitrogen management strategy is important to achieve high maize yield with straw return.

“…Partial consumption of SWC for the Grass treatment decreases the moisture in addition to other treatments. In this context, the Tilled and Straw treatments did not have vegetation consumption of water, while straw application additionally conserved soil moisture [46,47] through the high-temperature period in Summer and early Fall (Figure 2). Although SWC differences in treatments occur, the high SWC enables hazelnut water needs.…”

Hazelnut orchards are popular for cropping on sloped sites, which are often highly erodible. This study aimed to assess the impact of soil management and season in a hazelnut orchard on soil properties and hydrological response. Three treatments (Tilled, Straw, and Grass) were established in Munije (Croatia) on Stagnosol. In Spring, Summer, and Fall, a rainfall simulation was performed (intensity of 58 mm h−1 for 30 min). Results reveal higher water stable aggregate values were observed for the Straw treatment in all seasons. Higher soil organic matter (SOM) content was noticed for the Grass treatment in all seasons, while lower values were recorded for the Tilled treatment. Sediment loss in Summer was up to 650% and 1300% higher for the Tilled treatment compared with the Straw and Grass treatments. This study strengthens the comprehension of utilizing a permanent ground cover in hazelnut orchards as a sustainable practice, contributing to the mitigation of soil erosion processes and the improvement of soil properties. The Straw treatment is a viable option since it increases soil stability and SOM, consequently preventing high soil erosion.

“…(ii) SM reduced soil surface evaporation, increased water infiltration rate, lowered soil temperature, and enhanced water storage capacity (Awe et al, 2015;Baumhardta & Jonesb, 2002; J. Zhang et al, 2023). Additionally, after SM decomposition, straw was mixed into the soil, which improving soil water retention by increasing soil surface roughness and porosity, thus promoting the accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM; Fowler & Rockstrom, 2001;Xu et al, 2020).…”

Field mulching is an important technique for dryland crop cultivation in the Loess Plateau (LP) of China, which alleviates the local agricultural water shortage. However, under different precipitation and temperature conditions, the effects of mulching on moisture conservation and yield enhancement are not consistent. A meta‐analysis was conducted to assess the variations of mulching across various variables (mulching types, rainfall precipitation and annual average temperature) based on data from 203 peer‐reviewed publications, including 1466 yield and 991 water use efficiency data points. The results indicated that compared with no mulching (CK), plastic mulching (PM), straw mulching (SM), and dual plastic and straw mulching (SPM) significantly increased both yield and water use efficiency (WUE), with SPM demonstrating the most substantial yield improvement. Under conditions of low temperature (<7°C), PM significantly improved both crop yield and WUE. Similarly, when temperatures were below 7°C and rainfall ranged from 400 to 600 mm, SM also significantly enhanced yield and WUE. Compared with PM, SM does not enhance yield and WUE under high‐temperature low‐precipitation (>12°C, ≤400 mm) and low‐temperature high‐precipitation (≤7°C, >600 mm) conditions. SPM outperforms SM and PM in enhancing yield and WUE under diverse hydrothermal conditions. Furthermore, we conducted green development assessment using the DPSIR model, and after 20 years of development, we found that green development potential of SM and SPM is greater than that of PM. Overall, SPM not only enhances crop yield and WUE but also serves as an effective replacement for PM, thereby boosting crop production in dryland agriculture. Its crucial role in advancing regional green development has been validated by scientific research.
