“…Monthly SM was also generally higher under SA than under NSA at the back of the slope, in both 2015 and 2016. This is most likely because SA increases infiltration and reduces evaporation [34], and infiltration and subsurface runoff increase with an increase in straw amendment [18,19]. However, ST usually increases with decreasing SM levels [12,21], which is not in agreement with our results, possibly because straw amendment decreases soil bulk density, increases infiltration and decreases heat capacity [35].…”

“…Therefore, our results suggest that ST and SM are not consistently affected by SA in top slope positions (relative flat). This was mainly due to the fact that the available water capacity and hydraulic conductivity of saturated soil typically increased with straw amendment [33], and straw amendment increased infiltration and the slope facilitated water movement towards the bottom [11,18,19,34]. The different results between 2015 and 2016 may have also been caused by variations in precipitation and the history of residue return (one year vs. two years) between 2015 and 2016, and may also be influenced by straw burial because it was difficult to evenly distribute the straw amendment using a tractor.…”

“…Effects of SA on the dynamics of soil water, runoff, infiltration, soil temperature, nutrients and soil water use and productivity are contradictory because of soil characteristics, climate and crop and soil management practices which vary enormously [9,[12][13][14]. Generally, residue incorporation reduces surface runoff, increases SM, crop transpiration and WUE (crop water use efficiency), and decreases ST; the extent to which this happens is mainly determined by the growth stage and the amount of residue returned to the soil [9,[16][17][18][19]. Furthermore, intensified straw application significantly reduces evapotranspiration at the grain-filling to the maturity stages, and significantly increases surface SM at the grain-filling stage and considerably improves rainfall-use efficiency (RUE) during the whole growth period [20].…”

Straw amendment (SA) can be used to increase soil organic matter and decrease dioxide carbon emissions. However, the impact of SA on the crop yield is still subject to debate in different areas. In this study, soil temperature (ST), soil moisture (SM), soil bulk density, soil-available-nitrogen (AN), soil-available-phosphorus (AP), crop growth and yield were measured in SA and NSA (no straw amendment) at slope positions of a 130-m-long consecutive Mollisol slope during the maize (Zea mays) growth stages in the North Temperate Zone of China. Compared with NSA, the influence of SA on ST and SM was not consistent, while AN typically increased on the top slope. However, SA conventionally increased AP, increased daily ST and monthly ST (2.4-7.9%), and increased daily SM and monthly SM (2.1-12.5%) on the back slope. SA increased crop yield by 1-9.8% and 55.6-105.1% on the top and back slopes, respectively. At the bottom, SA conventionally decreased ST (0.20-1.48 • C in July and August), SM (3.5-29.6% from May to August), AN and AP, and decreased crop yield (4.1-30.6%). In conclusion, SA changed the equilibrium of ST and SM, influenced the dynamics of AN and AP on the consecutive slopes, and increased yield on both the top and back slopes but decreased yield at the bottom.

“…Infiltration and evaporation are important hydrologic processes [23] . Therefore, investigations of moisture characteristics on infiltration and evaporation are required to develop effective approaches [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] . In view of the above facts and research gaps, the objective of this study was to characterize the impact of interlayer on moisture characteristic of reclaimed soil backfilled with Yellow River sediment by infiltration and evaporation experiments were conducted in soil columns.…”

Underground coal mining causes land subsidence, and backfilling with Yellow River sediment is an effective reclamation technology to restore farmland in China. To date, two-layer soil reconstructed (TSR) for subsided land reclamation resulted in poor capacity to retain water. To solve this problem, multi-layered soil reconstructed (MSR), sandwiching soil interlayers between sediment, was developed as a new reclamation strategy with Yellow River sediment. In order to evaluate the impact of soil interlayer on moisture characteristics, laboratory experiments of infiltration and evaporation were conducted. Two control treatments (CK1, CK2) and four experimental treatments (T1-T4) were designed. CK1 was undamaged farmland, CK2 was conventional reconstructed two-layers soil profile (filled sediment with 40 cm soil cover). T1-T4 were multiple-layers soil profiles sandwiching different structures of soil interlayers between sediment layers. The results indicated that putting interlayers into sediment reduced water leakage and water evaporation, improved the water-holding capacity of conventional two-layer soil profiles. The total thickness of soil interlayers of 30 cm (T3 and T4) was better than 20 cm (T1 and T2) and two soil interlayers (T2) were better than one (T1) on water-holding capacity. Furthermore, the best reconstructed soil profile was T3, sandwiched two soil interlayer and the first thickness was 20 cm. This treatment had the greatest improvement on soil water holding capacity with an increase of 49.14% compared to CK2 at the end of the evaporation and was closest to CK1 (402.31 mm). This study provided experimental evidence that compares with TSR, MRS improved the moisture characteristics of backfilling with Yellow River sediment.

Detailed knowledge about soil characteristics and site-specific final steady infiltration rate could help to increase the irrigation water use efficiency and decrease water losses in agricultural system. The experiments were conducted on Agricultural Research Farm of Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan during 2016. The cumulative infiltration depth was measured using double ring infiltrometer at selected six points of the study area. Most commonly used infiltration models such as Kostikov's, Philip's and Horton's were fitted to the field infiltration data for determination of model parameters and to find the best fit model for the study area. Kostikov's infiltration model's parameters such as empirical constant 'c' and infiltration decay constants 'k' were obtained in the ranges of 0.140-0.290 and 0.307-0.433, respectively. Philip's infiltration model's parameters such as sorptivity 'S' and conductivity constant 'A' were found in the ranges of 0.167-0.288 cm/min 1/2 and-0.001 to-0.009 cm/min, respectively. Similarly, the Horton's model's 'parameter 'k' was obtained in the range of-1.619 to-1.238. The value of infiltration capacity at onset of infiltration (fo) was obtained as 1.744 to 3.491 for all the six points. The analysis showed that the infiltration models using the estimated parameters have satisfactory prediction capability at all the selected points. Horton's model provided the lowest mean values for RMSE (0.235) and highest mean values for ME (94%); and the lowest mean values for MPD (0.127). This indicated that infiltration can be well-described by the Horton's model at the selected site.
