“…These results were consistent with those of previous studies (Singh et al, 2018) that soil enzymes were stimulated by various crop sequences. The possible reason is that compared with monoculture plots, rotation plots have improved soil structure (Yang et al, 2020), stabilized microclimate (Adegaye et al, 2019) and greater abundance of rhizospheric microbes (mainly including rhizobia, gram-negative bacteria and Pseudomonas). Rotations emitted large amounts of CH4 to atmosphere, especially flooding rice cultivation.…”

Soil deterioration, yield decline and soil microbial activity reduction caused by banana (Musa × paradisiaca L.) monoculture is threatening the sustainability of banana production in China. Therefore, it is necessary to study the benefits of rotation on soil quality. This study aimed to assess the effects of rotation and tillage on soil properties in a banana plantation for 25 yr. Treatments consisted of three rotation methods (banana-pineapple, BA; banana-cowpea, BP; banana-rice, BR) and banana monoculture (CK) combined with two tillage intensities (no-tillage, NT; conventional tillage, CT). Soil samples were taken at depth of 0-40 cm in 2019-2020. In comparison with CK, BA and BR increased soil moisture, pH, total organic C and available P, but decreased soil bulk density. Microbial biomass C and N at booting stage were 46.1% and 39.2% higher in BA and BR than those in CK. Urease, dehydrogenase and β-glucosidase obtained a mean of 34.1% increase in BP and 23.8% increase in BR compared with BA. Higher total N, NO3-N, available K and macroaggregate were showed in NT compared with CT, whereas porosity was 24.8% lower in NT than in CT. CO 2, N2O and CH4 emissions were in average around between one third and two fifth lower in no-tillage compared with conventional tillage. In general, rotations combined with no-tillage led to a positive effect on soil quality, as evidenced by increase of soil moisture, total N, microbial biomass C and urease and accompanying increase in banana yield. In order to sustain higher productivity, application of rotation and no-tillage is of considerable importance.

“…Soil may become a carbon sink or a carbon source after the conversion of forest to pasture, depending on the type of pasture, regional climate, sampling depth, and management measures (Franzluebbers et al 2000, Post and Kwon 2000, Guo and Gifford 2002). The inappropriate cultivation management, such as intensive arable farming and frequent conversation of land use, can affect SOC dynamics due to the decline in organic residues returned to the soil (Caravaca et al 2002, Jin et al 2010, Adegaye et al 2019). However, the conservation tillage management of less tillage, no‐till with straw retention, and the use of mulch can contribute to the transformation of soil organic matter, the improvement of carbon stock due to less mineralization, and the promotion of sustainable agriculture development (Roldán et al 2003, Kan et al 2020).…”

The reclamation area of the Chinese Yellow River Delta (YRD) has experienced frequent land use changes in recent decades. The consequence of such land use changes on the stocks and allocation of ecosystem-scale carbon is not known. Here, we assessed carbon stocks and allocation of four representative land uses in the YRD area: (1) purple alfalfa (LAL), (2) reed and Aeluropus littoralis (RAE), (3) cotton (ECO), and (4) Chinese tamarisk (CTA). The results showed that the overall carbon stocks, and carbon stocks of aboveground, litter, roots, and soil were notably different among different land uses. The native CTA land had the largest overall carbon stock (belowground and aboveground) and had the strongest potential to allocate the carbon to the soil carbon pool (95.72%), followed by the natural grassland (RAE). Alfalfa grassland (LAL) also had a large carbon stock due to its large aboveground biomass, litter, and roots, but the relative allocation proportion of soil carbon stock was lower than that of the other land uses examined. Cotton (ECO) had the lowest soil carbon and total carbon stocks among four land uses. In combining our data on the carbon pool with changes of land use in the YRD area, we argued that land reclamation in the YRD area was likely to turn this area from a carbon sink to carbon source with the release of soil organic carbon. Therefore, cautions should be taken to reduce carbon release, if the reclaimed land be used to plant crops.
