The continuous afforestation has led to significant changes in soil moisture (SM) dynamics on the Loess Plateau, China (LPC). However, evaluating the spatio-temporal distributions and driving factors of the SM changes following afforestation is challenging because of the difficulty of accessing areas and the lack of long-term series records. Here, we evaluated the accuracy of Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) SM product by comparing with in-situ SM data in LPC, and quantified the spatio-temporal variations of SM in different periods from 1982 to 2015 under the 'Grain for Green' program (GGP). The results showed that the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was well matched with the SM variations in more than 46% area of LPC from 1982 to 2015, which mainly located at the vegetated areas. The variations of SM responding to re vegetation displayed obvious southeast-negative and northwest-positive patterns, which was the wet region (annual precipitation > 450 mm) to be dry and dry region (annual precipitation <= 450 mm) to be wet. Path coefficient value revealed that the positive effect of vegetation activity for grassland on SM was ascribed to its promotion on the occurrence of rainfall (mean path coefficient = 0.278). Precipitation played vital impact on the SM in bareland and sparsely vegetated area, and evapotranspiration played a dominant role in the SM dynamic of the forestland, especially at the early stage of GGP (From 2000 to 2010), while precipitation and NDVI had stronger effects than evapotranspiration on the SM dynamics of grassland. Our study suggests that in arid and semi-arid areas, vegetation achieves the optimal water retention capacity when the vegetation fractions are 1.4%-3.7% and 3.8%-7.2%, respectively. Hence, vegetation should not be further expanded in semi-humid areas, but should be further restored in arid and semi-arid areas with sparse or excessively sparse vegetation cover (especially in desert).

Identifying soil water movement and water sources of subsurface flow at a hillslope using stable isotope technique

R. X. Zhou, J. Wang, C. J. Tang, Y. P. Zhang, X. A. Chen, X. Li, Y. Y. Shi, L. Wang, H. B. Xiao, Z. H. Shi

Summary: Knowledge of soil water movement and water sources in subsurface flow is crucial for understanding runoff generation mechanisms and nutrient-pollution migration. This study investigated mixing processes of new water and old water at hillslopes with different farming practices using isotopic analysis. The results showed that preferred flow and piston flow existed in soil water movement, with farming practices influencing water source partitioning. Old water was found to be the dominant water source for subsurface flow, and the proportion of new water varied dynamically with rainfall.

Transport and transformation of perfluoroalkyl acids, isomer profiles, novel alternatives and unknown precursors from factories to dinner plates in China: New insights into crop bioaccumulation prediction and risk assessment

Shun Liu, Zhaoyang Liu, Wenfeng Tan, Andrew C. Johnson, Andrew J. Sweetman, Xiaoyan Sun, Yu Liu, Chang Chen, Hao Guo, Hanyu Liu, Xiang Wan, Limei Zhang

Summary: This study investigated the source tracing and transport of PFASs from factories to agricultural fields in a fluorochemical industrial region of China. It also explored the bioaccumulation specificities and prediction of these chemicals in different vegetables, and conducted a comprehensive risk assessment considering precursor degradation. The results showed that PFASs in agricultural soils mainly came from fluorochemical manufacturing and metal processing, and alarming levels of PFASs were found in vegetables. PFASs with short carbon chain or carboxylic acid group exhibited higher transport potentials and bioaccumulation factors, and the number of Casparian strips and protein content in vegetables affected their bioaccumulation factors.

Crop residue return sustains global soil ecological stoichiometry balance

Ji Liu, Tianyi Qiu, Josep Penuelas, Jordi Sardans, Wenfeng Tan, Xiaomeng Wei, Yongxing Cui, Qingliang Cui, Chuanfa Wu, Lanfa Liu, Baitao Zhou, Haoran He, Linchuan Fang

Summary: This study found that crop residue inputs can increase soil organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents, helping to alleviate soil carbon limitation and maintain balanced soil stoichiometry. The increase in soil organic carbon and carbon-to-nitrogen (phosphorus) ratio reached saturation after around 13-16 years, while the increase in grain yield stopped. A predictive model was proposed to evaluate the potential for crop residue improvement under different soil conditions and nitrogen input levels.

Effects of soil and water conservation measures on sediment delivery processes in a hilly and gully watershed

Yi Zeng, Xiangdong Meng, Bing Wang, Mengjie Li, Dan Chen, Lishan Ran, Nufang Fang, Lingshan Ni, Zhihua Shi

Summary: China has successfully implemented large-scale soil and water conservation projects on the Chinese Loess Plateau, resulting in a significant reduction of sediment flux in the Yellow River over the past 60 years. However, the impact of these measures on erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment remains challenging to quantify, which hinders further planning and adjustment of soil and water conservation measures. This study utilized unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry technology, check dam surveying, and hydrologic monitoring to determine soil erosion, sediment deposition, and sediment yield in a hilly and gully watershed on the Chinese Loess Plateau. The findings revealed that check dams and vegetation restoration have effectively reduced soil erosion and sediment deposition, providing valuable insights for future soil and water conservation planning.

Disconnection between plant-microbial nutrient limitation across forest biomes

Ji Liu, Linchuan Fang, Tianyi Qiu, Haijian Bing, Yongxing Cui, Jordi Sardans, Enzai Du, Ji Chen, Wenfeng Tan, Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo, Guiyao Zhou, Qingliang Cui, Josep Penuelas

Summary: This study investigated the patterns of plant-microbial N/P limitation in forests across China and found significant divergence between the two. The N/P limitation was disconnected in 42.6% of plant-microbial communities, with only 17.7% of N and 39.7% of P limitations consistent. The divergence was more evident at mid-latitudes, where plants were mainly N limited and microbes were mainly P limited. The findings were consistent with ecological stoichiometry and highlighted the importance of soil chemistry in driving the divergence.

Socioecological Predicament on Global Steeply Sloped Cropland

Ling Wang, Baodong Xu, Jinsong Zhao, Cai Li, Yi Zeng, Yuhua Niu, Shuxia Yu, Zhen Wang, Zhi-Hua Shi

Summary: Cropland on steep slopes is crucial for smallholders to maintain food security and their livelihoods, but the social-ecological predicament on global steeply sloped cropland is largely overlooked and remains unclear. Our findings indicate that global steeply sloped cropland supports the livelihoods of approximately 168 million people. There are significant disparities in population pressure on steeply sloped cropland across different development levels, with lower-middle-income countries having the highest population density and low-income countries experiencing the largest population growth rate. Moreover, inhabitants of steeply sloped cropland, particularly those in low-income countries, face marginalization from public services and are affected by severe soil erosion and low cropland productivity.

Substantially Enhanced Landscape Carbon Sink Due To Reduced Terrestrial-Aquatic Carbon Transfer Through Soil Conservation in the Chinese Loess Plateau

Lishan Ran, Nufang Fang, Xuhui Wang, Shilong Piao, Chun Ngai Chan, Siliang Li, Yi Zeng, Zhihua Shi, Mingyang Tian, Yi-jun Xu, Junyu Qi, Boyi Liu

Summary: Soil conservation is crucial for preserving ecosystem viability and enhancing landscape carbon (C) sequestration. In the semiarid Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP), successful soil conservation practices have resulted in a surprisingly low terrestrial-aquatic C transfer, offsetting only 7.5% of the terrestrial net ecosystem productivity. Despite high soil erosion, the CLP acts as an effective C sink, comparable to temperate forests, with additional C burial in reservoirs. These findings highlight the importance of soil conservation for enhancing landscape C sequestration capacity and have implications for regions experiencing increasing erosion intensity.

Crop residue return achieves environmental mitigation and enhances grain yield: a global meta-analysis

Ji Liu, Linchuan Fang, Tianyi Qiu, Ji Chen, Hai Wang, Muxing Liu, Jun Yi, Hailin Zhang, Cong Wang, Jordi Sardans, Li Chen, Min Huang, Josep Penuelas

Summary: The combined use of organic fertilizers and crop residues can increase soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus stocks, especially in the topsoil. In uplands, crop residue return can mitigate soil acidification and increase grain yield. The increase in soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus stocks also depends on soil conditions and fertilizer levels.

Divergent responses of soil physicochemical properties in 6-m profiles to long-term overfertilization in rainfed apple orchards on China's Loess Plateau

Jiarui Zhao, Xiaohu Yuan, Zhanjun Liu, Haotian Shi, Bingnian Zhai, Yuanjun Zhu

Summary: Overfertilization is common in rainfed apple orchards on China's Loess Plateau, but its impacts on soil physicochemical properties in deep soil profiles are poorly understood. This study found that different land-use types showed divergent distribution patterns in soil properties, with low variability for SWC and pH, moderate variability for NH4+-N, AP, and AK, and high variability for SOC, NO3--N, and EC. The results also showed that fertilization influenced soil water content, NO3--N, AP, and AK, and NO3--N played a crucial role in regulating pH and EC. Soil profiles were useful for studying the evolution of soil quality.

Mediterranean vineyard soil seed bank characterization along a slope/ disturbance gradient: Opportunities for land sharing

Martin Faucher, Seraphine Grellier, Clemence Chaudron, Jean-Louis Janeau, Gabrielle Rudi, Fabrice Vinatier

Summary: The Mediterranean region is expected to experience more intense rainfall events and severe droughts due to climate change, leading to an increase in runoff and erosion rates in agrosystems. Vegetation cover can help reduce erosion and the soil seed bank can provide cost-effective vegetation. This study assessed the effect of vegetation cover on seed loss in vineyards and evaluated the differences in the soil seed bank along a transect. The results suggest that vegetation may not protect interrows from runoff-induced seed loss.

Partitioning eddy covariance CO2 fluxes into ecosystem respiration and gross primary productivity through a new hybrid four sub-deep neural network

Han Chen, Han Li, Yizhao Wei, Edward Mcbean, Hong Liang, Weimin Wang, Jinhui Jeanne Huang

Summary: This research introduces a hybrid four-sub-deep neural network (HFSD) model for partitioning NEE into GPP and ER. The HFSD employs dual sub-deep neural networks to estimate ERa and ERb and incorporates GPP and environmental variables to predict vegetation transpiration. The results of the model show that the dual sub-DNNs architecture enhances the accuracy of ER simulations, while using EC-derived T as a constraint improves the accuracy of GPP simulations. Correlation analyses suggest that solar radiation and air temperature primarily influence the seasonal variations in GPP and ER, while soil moisture has a strong impact during dry seasons. This study advances the biophysical description of data-driven models for NEE partitioning and enhances the accuracy of GPP and ER estimates.

Advantages of using a carbon-rich substrate in a constructed wetland for agricultural water treatment: Carbon availability and biota development

Mercedes Guerrero-Brotons, Nuria Perujo, Anna M. Romani, Rosa Gomez

Summary: Proper bed substrate selection is crucial for the performance of constructed wetlands, especially when treating drainage water with high nitrogen and low carbon and phosphorus concentrations. In a field-scale pilot plant, adding a carbon-rich substrate such as soil or biochar increased phosphorus availability in beds. Beds with soil displayed higher microbial density and activity, as well as better plant growth compared to gravel. These findings highlight the importance of selecting suitable substrates for treating irrigated agricultural water.

Emily Rose Waring, Carl Pederson, Ainis Lagzdins, Chelsea Clifford, Matthew J. Helmers

Summary: Addressing the global problem of eutrophication requires better management of inorganic nitrogen in the agricultural landscape. This study compares the effects of different tillage practices and cover crops on soil and water quality. The results show that the conventional tillage system is more effective in improving water quality and maintaining crop yields compared to other tillage practices. Additionally, the study reveals that the impact of tillage practices and cover crop growth methods on water and soil quality changes over time.

Rates of soil organic carbon change in cultivated and afforested sandy soils

Annalisa Stevenson, Yakun Zhang, Jingyi Huang, Jie Hu, Keith Paustian, Alfred E. Hartemink

Summary: Considerable advances have been made in the assessment and mapping of soil organic carbon stocks. However, the rates of change in carbon stocks are influenced by various factors and need to be quantified. This study found that sandy soils under cultivation and forests have different organic carbon stocks. Factors such as tillage, irrigation, and nitrogen applications contribute to the decline in soil organic carbon stocks. Afforestation of abandoned cultivated fields can increase soil organic carbon, but it is still lower than soils under forest that have never been cultivated.

Belowground C sequestrations response to grazing exclusion in global grasslands: Dynamics and mechanisms

Qing Qu, Lei Deng, Zhouping Shangguan, Jian Sun, Jinsheng He, Kaibo Wang, Zhengchao Zhou, Jiwei Li, Josep Penuelas

Summary: Grazing exclusion is a widely implemented strategy for restoring degraded grassland ecosystems and increasing carbon stocks. This study analyzed data from 199 experiments to understand the temporal responses and factors influencing plant and soil carbon stocks following grazing exclusion in different grassland ecosystems. The results showed that plant biomass carbon stocks and soil organic carbon stocks decreased exponentially or rationally with years since enclosure. Grazing exclusion had positive effects on aboveground biomass carbon, but the effects on belowground biomass and soil carbon were influenced by climate, initial carbon levels, and grazing exclusion duration. The response of carbon stocks to grazing exclusion stabilized after approximately 40 years, with soil carbon sequestration showing a lagged pattern compared to plant biomass carbon. The study highlighted the effectiveness of grazing exclusion in regions with low carbon content and non-water limited conditions. However, it might not be an effective measure to increase soil organic carbon stocks in water-limited areas like desert grasslands.
