We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine
soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within …

Conventional farming practices can lead to soil degradation and a decline in productivity.
Regenerative agriculture (RA) is purported by advocates as a solution to these issues that …

Agricultural food production is a main driver of global greenhouse gas emissions, with
unclear pathways towards carbon neutrality. Here, through a comprehensive life-cycle …

An increase in nitrogen (N) recovery efficiency, also denoted as N use efficiency (NUEr), is
crucial to reconcile food production and environmental health. This study assessed the …

Although soil ecological stoichiometry is constrained in natural ecosystems, its responses to
anthropogenic perturbations are largely unknown. Inputs of inorganic fertilizer and crop …

Straw returning is an important measure for improving soil organic matter, biological activity,
and nutrient availability. Straw mulching and straw burying are two methods for returning …

Agriculture affects climate change and contributes directly and indirectly to greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. However, no reports have fully quantified the GHG emissions from …

Straw return is an effective method for disposing agricultural residues. It not only utilizes
agricultural waste but also improves soil. In the current review, different crop straw and its …

Ammonia (NH3) emissions from fertilized soils to the atmosphere and the subsequent
deposition to land surface exert adverse effects on biogeochemical nitrogen (N) cycling. The …

The large-scale vegetation restoration project on the Loess Plateau increased the
ecosystem carbon (C) stocks and affected C budget in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The …
