Summary: Tillage practices have a significant impact on soil properties such as cone index, bulk density, and gravimetric water content, with differences observed between no-till (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) systems in both corn and soybean rotations over a span of several years. While CT showed lower values of cone index and bulk density compared to NT, there were no significant differences in gravimetric water content between the two tillage systems.

Summary: Conservation agriculture (CA) improves soil organic carbon concentration and stock, especially in the 0-7.5 cm soil layer. The SOC content of macroaggregates also increases under CA, contributing to increased system productivity. However, the impact of CA is mainly limited to shallow soil depths, with minimal effects on deeper soil layers.

Summary: This study found that cover crops contribute little to weed management in tillage-and herbicide-based cropping systems. Hairy vetch showed a significant suppressive effect on weed seedling density, while brown mustard had little effect. The suppressive effect of hairy vetch was observed on specific weed species, but differences in biomass productivity could not fully explain the variations in weed suppression between cover crop species.

Summary: Improvements in soil sampling and bioremediation techniques can enhance soil treatment efficiency by emphasizing areas with greater nutrient deposition. This study evaluated nutrient deposition and correlation in intensive and extensive Litopenaeus vannamei farming pond soils. The findings highlight deficiencies in carbon and potassium, as well as phosphorus excess in both farms. It is recommended that shrimp farmers adopt differential treatment strategies, focusing on areas of organic matter decomposition to improve production efficiency.

Summary: This study evaluated the agronomic performance of sweet and green corn cultivated under residues of different cover crops and different stages of a no-tillage system. The results showed that Sunn hemp had the highest dry mass production among the cover crops and performed well in all stages of the no-tillage system. The stage of the no-tillage system did not affect the yield of husked or unhusked ears in green corn, but sweet corn had higher yields in the transition and consolidation areas compared to the initial stage.

Summary: Agroecological management can improve soil attributes, especially soil organic matter (SOM) and soil aggregation. This study quantified the carbon contents of humic and oxidizable fractions of SOM in aggregates from different agroecological management systems. The highest carbon contents were observed in the AFS, C-SUN, and C-SHA systems. The C-SUN system had a higher proportion of more humified and recalcitrant fractions of SOM compared to the C-SHA system. The management practices in C-SHA, C-SUN, and AFS promoted improvements in soil quality.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different planting methods in the no-tillage vegetable system on soil organic carbon and nitrogen stocks compared to the conventional tillage system. The results showed that planting black oats and oilseed radish in the no-tillage vegetable system can increase soil organic carbon and nitrogen stocks compared to the conventional tillage system. This suggests that planting cover crops can improve soil quality, increase organic matter content, and enhance carbon and nitrogen stocks.

Summary: No-till planting and the use of organomineral fertilizers are effective practices to improve soil fertility and increase crop yield. This study investigated the agronomic performance of cabbage under a no-till system using different cover crops and phosphorus sources. The results showed that intercropped cover crop treatments had higher biomass and faster nutrient cycling. The highest cabbage yield occurred in the intercropped treatment, regardless of the type of fertilizer used. The use of organomineral fertilizer as a phosphorus source was beneficial for cabbage yield under conventional tillage.

Summary: Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices, including no-tillage, cover cropping, organic amendments, and crop-livestock and crop-livestock-forestry systems, have been widely adopted in Brazilian Cerrado and can contribute to climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration. A systematic review of 87 papers and 621 data pairs showed that all evaluated CSA practices resulted in average positive rates of soil carbon stock change, indicating soil carbon accretion after adoption. However, further research and statistical comparisons are needed to validate these estimations.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of erosion degradation and long-term manure fertilization on soil properties and crop yield in Northeast China. Results show that erosion degradation and manure fertilization have lasting impacts on soil physical structure throughout the soil profile, while their effects on soil nutrient properties are focused in shallow layers. Manure fertilization significantly improves soil functional index (ISI) and maize yield for degraded soils. Erosion degradation has a greater influence on ISI and maize yield than manure fertilization.

Summary: This study investigates the structural strength of the Loess-Paleosol Sequence (LPS) and finds that the strength tends to increase with burial depth, with the loess layer weaker than the paleosol layer. The microstructure of the LPS also undergoes significant transformations with increased burial depth, transitioning from an overhead structure to a matrix structure. These findings highlight the importance of climate conditions on the structural strength of the LPS.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of long-term nutrient management practices on P fractions and P adsorption-desorption behaviour of an acid soil with a soybean-wheat cropping system. The findings revealed that amorphous Fe and Al, which play a significant role in P fixation, increased due to cultivation. The NPK+Lime treatment offered the most balanced approach, improving both crop yield and P uptake while effectively managing P dynamics in the soil. On the contrary, long-term application of NPK+FYM in an acid soil may result in faster P saturation of adsorption sites and increase the chances of leaching and eutrophication. Tailored P fertilization strategies should be developed to better utilize the PFe and PAl fractions and supplementing applied P.
