TL;DR: It is found that the use of plastic mulch can indeed increase crop yields on average by 25%-42% in the immediate season due to the increase of soil temperature and moisture, but the unabated accumulation of film residues in the field negatively impacts its physicochemical properties linked to healthy soil and threatens food production in the long term.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a cropland-based livestock production system to rebuild the linkage between livestock and croplands from both agriculture production and human consumption perspectives for China.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the long-term effects of various fertilization regimes on crop yield and soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) in the topsoil (0-20 cm) of a fluvo-aquic soil in a wheat-maize (Zea mays L.) cropping system in the North China Plain.

TL;DR: Quantifying the variation of N application rates when targeting constraints on yield, economic performance, N uptake and N utilization on the North China Plain showed that the optimal N application rate was highest when targeting N uptake, followed by crop yield and economic income.

TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of N management in 1531 counties, covering the primary agro-ecological regions of Chinese rice production in 2008, and conducted 12 field experiments with six N level practices for 3 years (2011-2013).
