“…Additionally, the capillary water movement may also enhance and directly accumulate NO 3 -N in the topsoil. Film mulching may cut off the heat exchange between the atmosphere and the soil surface, reduce surface net radiation, decrease soil evaporation, increase SWCs, and decrease NO 3 -N concentrations in the topsoil compared with no film mulching (NFM) (Monday et al, 2015;Ospanbayev et al, 2017;He et al, 2018).…”

“…With worldwide economic development, population growth, and regional water shortages, agricultural production has, in recent years, increasingly focused on saving agricultural water and improving crop yields. Drip irrigation under plastic film mulching (PFM) has been proven to be an excellent irrigation strategy with many benefits and advantages compared to no film mulching, such as saving irrigation water (Vázquez et al, 2006), preserving soil water (Berger et al, 2013), improving soil temperature (Filipovic et al, 2016), promoting early germination and harvest (Novello and Palma, 2008), and significantly increasing crop yields (Monday et al, 2015;Ospanbayev et al, 2017;He et al, 2018). Additionally, it can be used under different climate conditions and in different soil regions (Monteiro et al, 2013;Sharma et al, 2017;Fawibe et al, 2019;Qin et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019a,b), especially in arid, semi-arid, and sandy regions with low precipitation, high evaporation, and a limited soil water and fertilizer retention (Zhou et al, 2017;Dlamini et al, 2017).…”

“…Generally, most plastic films are made of low-density polyethylene that needs at least several hundred years to completely degrade in soil (Khalil et al, 2018;Henry et al, 2019). When the plastic residue in soil increases above a certain threshold value, it incurs significant negative impacts on soil environment and agricultural production, such as damaging soil structure (Gao et al, 2019), decreasing soil water infiltration (Jiang et al, 2017), retarding soil water and nutrient movement (Dong et al, 2013;Jiang et al, 2017), restricting root growth (Ibarra-Jiménez et al, 2011;Qi et al, 2018), and reducing crop yield (Dong et al, 2013;He et al, 2018;Gao et al, 2019).…”

Drip irrigation under plastic film mulching with applications of the N-fertilizer is an excellent agricultural strategy, resulting in saving irrigation water, improving N use efficiency, and increasing crop yield. However, the film residue and nitrate-nitrogen (NO 3-N) losses are the leading cause of non-point pollution in agricultural fields. To promote the development of sustainable agriculture, the HYDRUS (2D/3D) model was first calibrated and then validated using experimental data from 2016 and 2017, respectively, collected in the drip-irrigated sandy field with plastic film mulching (PFM), biodegradable film mulching (BFM), and no film mulching (NFM). Additionally, the NO 3-N spatial and temporal distributions, uptake, leaching, and use efficiency (NUE) under PFM, BFM, and NFM with 280 kg ha −1 of the N-fertilizer (the local recommendation) were evaluated using both observed and simulated data. These factors were also assessed under BFM with 210 (75 % of the recommended value) and 140 kg ha-1 (50 % of the recommended value) of the N-fertilizer. The results of numerical simulations were in good agreement with observations, with the RMSE, R 2 , and NSE during verification being 0.01-0.08 mg cm-3 , 0.62-0.87, and 0.68-0.94, respectively. When the same amount of the N-fertilizer (280 kg ha −1) was applied in each treatment, there were no apparent differences in NO 3-N concentrations in the soil profile, cumulative NO 3-N uptake by corn (CNU), and cumulative NO 3-N leaching (CNL) in the 100-cm soil depth between the BFM 280 and PFM 280 scenarios (the subscript indicates the amount of the N-fertilizer) during the early growing season (Day After Sowing [DAS] of 0-78 in 2016 and DAS of 0-92 in 2017). However, CNU and CNL were higher, and the NO 3-N concentrations in the upper soil layer (0−40 cm soil layer) lower in these two scenarios than in the NFM 280 scenario. The NO 3-N concentrations in the topsoil layer (the 0−20 cm soil layer) in the BFM 280 scenario were 3.9 % higher than in the PFM 280 scenario during DAS 93-154 in 2017 due to the disintegration of the biodegradable film and 26.3 % lower during DAS 79-155 in 2016 because of intensive rainfall. Additionally, the highest NUE (50.9 kg kg-1 , the average value for two years) was found when 75 % of the recommended N-fertilizer (210 kg ha −1) was applied. Therefore, an application of 210 kg ha −1 of the Nfertilizer in the BFM scenario can be recommended for sandy farmland to avoid plastic pollution, increase NUE, and effectively promote the development of sustainable agriculture.

“…The HYDRUS-2D model (Šimůnek et al, 2016) has been widely used in the literature to simulate the movement of soil water (Simone et al, 2019, Fan et al, 2018, Filipović et al, 2014Grecco et al, 2019, Rai et al, 2019, Karandish and Šimůnek, 2018, nitrogen species (He et al, 2018;Grecco et al, 2019;Elasbah et al, 2019), soil salts (Xu et al, 2019), and heat (Rai et al, 2019;Ren et al, 2018). This model can capture the dynamic nature of these factors and be used to optimize their spatial and temporal distributions (Cichota et al, 2018).…”

• A relative yield of 70% was obtained under both border and drip irrigation. • Drip irrigation saved water and lowered yield variability compared to border irrigation. • Drip irrigation led to accumulation of soil nitrogen and phosphorus in the root zone. • Relative yield may increase 8% to 10% by optimizing field management. • Plant density, irrigation and nitrogen are major factors closing yield gap in NW China.
