Spatiotemporal forecasting of surface soil moisture (SSM) is recognized as a critical scientific issue in precision agricultural irrigation, regional drought monitoring, and early warning systems for extreme precipitation. However, long-term forecasting continues to pose formidable challenges becaus…

Oasis soils in Tunisia are characterized by low soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, primarily due to their coarse texture and intensive irrigation practices. In the Gataaya Oasis, soils receive 3.000 to 4.000 L/m2 annually through submersion irrigation, leading to a rapid decline in SOC stocks. Despit…

In dryland ecosystems, nitrogen (N) is the primary limiting factor after water availability, constraining both plant productivity and organic matter decomposition while also regulating ecosystem function and service provision. However, the distributions of different soil N fraction stocks in dryland…

Biochar and animal manure application can improve crop yields in salt-affected soil. Previous studies have primarily applied biochar and animal manure either alone or at fixed ratios, while their combined effects with varying combination proportions are still unclear. To address this knowledge gap, …

Coal mining renders soil susceptible to heavy metal (HM) accumulation, adversely affecting the ecological environment and human health, particularly in extremely arid and vulnerable regions. This study collected soil samples from the Heishan open-pit coal mine in Turpan City, Northwest China, to ass…

Cotton is an important economic crop widely cultivated in the saline-alkaline soils of southern Xinjiang, China. To control soil salinity for cotton seed germination and seedling survival, farmers commonly employ salt leaching during winter and spring. However, excessive leaching may waste water res…

Artificial cyanobacteria crusts are formed by inoculating soil with cyanobacteria. These crusts help prevent soil erosion and restore soil functionality in degraded croplands. However, how fast the artificial cyanobacteria crusts can be formed is a key issue before their practical application. In ad…

Integrating sprinkler with deficit irrigation system is a new approach to improve crop water productivity and ensure water and food security in arid areas of India. This study undertook a field experiment of sprinkler-irrigated cumin (variety GC-4) with a mini-lysimeter setup at an experimental rese…

Research on grassland carrying capacity (GCC) and forage-livestock balance is of great significance for promoting the harmonious development of human and grassland. However, the lack of understanding of GCC and forage-livestock balance in the agro-pastoral transition zone of northern China has limit…

Drip irrigation and flood irrigation are major irrigation methods for maize crops in the Hetao Irrigation District, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. This research delves into the effects of these irrigation methods on carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange and crop growth in this region. The experime…

Abstract: Aeolian sandy soil in mining areas is characterized by intense evaporation and poor water retention capacity. This study was designed to identify a suitable biochar application method to improve soil water infiltration and minimize soil water evaporation for aeolian sandy soil. Using an in…

Planting cover crop has been suggested as a way of increasing soil organic carbon in agricultural land. Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.), as a cover crop, could improve soil fertility and lower soil CO2 emission. However, effects of soil water content and nitrogen on soil carbon mineralization after…
