“…Therefore, straw amendment significantly decreased crop yields at the bottom. Generally, crop residues with lower C:N ratios and relatively high SM levels (95% field capacity) can increase the numbers and the total dry weight of earth worms, thereby improving soil properties and fertility [36]. Furthermore, SA not only increases soil total C and N contents but also increases microbial biomass C and N contents and reduces N fertilizer use, especially when combined with manure [37,38].…”

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.

“…The return of organic fertilization (including plant and animal residues) to soil can both improve the soil's physicochemical properties (Chaganti et al, 2015; Tejada et al, 2006) and create suitable conditions for soil organisms (Thomson & Hoffmann, 2007). Under laboratory conditions, crop residues with low C/N ratios have been shown to promote the reproduction of endogeic earthworms in salt‐affected soil (Chen et al, 2017). In addition, previous studies have demonstrated that the application of animal manures promotes larger earthworm populations in degraded soils, and this is generally more effective than crop residues (Lowe & Butt, 2005).…”

Earthworm incubation combined with organic fertilization is promoted as an amended measure to improve soil properties in the ecological restoration of various degraded soils. However, the impacts of earthworms on the soil aggregate size under different organic fertilization in salt‐affected soils have not yet been fully revealed. This hinders our ability to develop policies by which to alleviate soil salinization. In this study, under mesocosm experiments, we investigate the effects of earthworm (Aporrectodea trapezoides) and organic fertilization on the soil aggregate size after 16 weeks of incubation. The soil treated with clover residues showed lower earthworm survival rates and biomass compared to that treated with sheep manure. However, the soil macropores and large macroaggregate were higher in the soils treated with clover residue when earthworms were present. In addition, earthworm burrowing activities form pathways toward food patches improve the characteristics of soil macropores, and the properties of the residue itself play a decisive role. Moreover, whether earthworms are present or not significantly influences the soil macroporosity, macropore number, and soil electrical conductivity. This demonstrates that earthworms exhibit a key feature of soil physical functioning in salt‐affected soil. In conclusion, we propose that the application of earthworms with organic residues in salt‐affected soils is a priority in producing and maintaining favorable soil structure.
