Summary: The study investigates the effects of straw return and earthworm presence on nitrous oxide (N2O) production. It is found that straw return increases N2O emissions while the presence of earthworms decreases it. The interaction between straw and earthworms plays a significant role in reducing N2O emissions.

Summary: The study investigates the effects of crop rotation with legumes and continuous grain crops on the structure of prokaryotic communities and soil organic matter preservation. Results show that different soil uses lead to variations in soil organic matter stability, with unmanaged fallow soil exhibiting higher mineralization and lower pedotrophicity, while the black fallow soil shows the opposite trend.

Summary: A meta-analysis was conducted to determine country-specific and stratified N2O emission factors for direct agricultural emissions in Germany. It was found that northern districts had relatively lower emission factors than southern districts. The national implied emission factor for direct N2O emissions from managed agricultural soils was 0.62%, which is 8.59% lower than the estimate reported in the 2021 inventory submission to UNFCCC.

Summary: The use of organic fertilizer can reduce the use of chemical fertilizer, greenhouse gas emissions, and maintain crop production. However, the impact of biogas slurry on soil nitrogen cycle needs to be reconsidered when replacing chemical fertilizer.

Summary: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions show high variability in both space and time. A study in Ontario, Canada, examined the factors influencing N2O emissions during growing and non-growing seasons of corn and soybeans. Soil nitrate content, soil moisture, and temperature were found to control emissions during the growing season, while moisture and temperature regulated emissions in unfertilized soybeans. Freeze-thaw cycles were identified as mechanisms for enhanced N2O emissions during the non-growing season. The study also compared the performance of different emission prediction approaches and found that the Canadian methodology, which includes management and environmental factors, outperformed the default IPCC approach.

Summary: This study assessed the long-term effects of using nitrification inhibitors and legume crops on nitrogen losses and nitrous oxide emissions in the Australian sugar industry using the DayCent model. The results showed that the combined use of legume fallows and nitrification inhibitor-coated fertilisers was the most effective strategy for reducing emissions while maintaining or increasing yields.

Summary: The Chinese government aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, with technologies like anaerobic digestion of crop residues to recover biomethane playing a key role. The potential contribution of crop residues to energy production and reducing GHG emissions following anaerobic digestion is significant but has been scarcely evaluated. More research and development, along with governmental support policies, are needed to fully utilize the potential of biomethane production from crop residues in China.

Summary: N2O, a potent greenhouse gas, accounts for 7% of global warming, with agricultural systems contributing to 60% of global N2O emissions. The use of nitrification inhibitors can effectively reduce N2O emissions from agricultural fields. Combining Ni with Mu can significantly increase urea recovery and crop yield.

Summary: This study conducted a feasibility study of prescribed burning for crop residues based on air quality assessment in urban regions. The results showed that under controlled factors, prescribed burning can efficiently dispose of crop residues while ensuring air quality in urban areas. The findings can be used to design burning schemes for crop residue and promote sustainable development in agriculture and urban environments.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the soil CH4 and N2O fluxes from smallholder agricultural systems in Southeast Asia's tropical peatlands and assess their environmental controls. The results showed that water table depth strongly determined CH4 emissions, while mean total dissolved nitrogen in soil water strongly correlated with N2O emissions. These new emissions data could contribute to the development of more reliable country-level emission factors for national greenhouse gas inventory reporting. Rating: 8/10.

Summary: The amount of stabilized and protected soil organic matter is a key factor in determining the carbon protection capacity (CPC) of soil. This study investigated the accumulation and loss of organic carbon in different types of soils in the Cis-Ural region. The findings showed that the soil of permanent clean fallow had the greatest carbon loss, while the soil under perennial leguminous crop had the highest organic carbon content and stocks. Natural soils were found to be in equilibrium, with the content of organic carbon depending on the quantity and quality of biomass entering the soil from agrocenoses.

Summary: The study shows that both initial application and reapplication of biochar have significant impacts on improving soil structure, particularly in increasing the content of water-stable macro-aggregates. Additionally, the increase in soil organic matter plays a crucial role in supporting soil aggregate stability, while the composition of organic matter such as humic substances does not have a significant effect.

Summary: The study found that biochar application had a significant impact on the movement and accumulation of main available nutrients in the soil after fertiliser application and under heavy precipitation, especially at higher biochar application rates. Biochar application reduced the acidity of the leachate and soil, while retaining available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for a short period of time.

Summary: The addition of 15 t ha(-1) biochar significantly increased the volumetric water content of sandy soil, while the increase to 30 t ha(-1) did not result in significant changes. Biochar amendment with nitrogen fertilizer caused higher CO2 emissions in sandy soil, but had no significant effect in clayey loam soil.

Summary: Polymeric hydrogels based on sulfo-containing comonomers were synthesized and their morphology and swelling behavior were explored. The cryogels formed in the presence of nanodiamonds showed high biological activity during seed germination and promoted plant growth. These results demonstrate the potential of sulfonic cryogels as environmentally friendly materials for agricultural applications.

Summary: This study successfully created new forms of Raphanus sativus adapted to controlled environments with artificial lighting. By using accelerated transgressive plant breeding, these new forms possessed valuable characteristics such as resistance to bolting, glabrous leaves, and compact leaf rosette. The yield of roots for these new forms ranged from 4.30-4.98 kg/m(2) for small radish and 5.46-7.66 kg/m(2) for radish. The breeding of these new genotypes aims to expand the range of crops cultivated in plant factories, providing better and more balanced nutrition for the population.

Summary: Enriching plants with vital microelements is crucial to address the problems of micronutrient deficiency and imbalance. Water-soluble derivatives of C-60 or C-70 fullerene show promising solutions for biofortification. Experimental research indicates that introducing C-60 fullerenol into the soil can enhance plant growth, increase element content, and improve physiological state.

Summary: The study found that biochar can significantly reduce the bulk density of sandy soil, increase soil water retention capacity, but does not affect the soil water-filled pore space. The sandy soil treated with biochar showed an increase in N2O emission rates after nitrogen fertilizer application, while the clayey loam soil showed a reduction in N2O emission rates.
