TL;DR: In this paper , a meta-analysis of the effects of land use heterogeneity on arthropod species richness and abundance was carried out, and it was found that increasing landscape complexity increased arthropoid abundance, but not their abundance.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted the first multi-state on-farm litter bag studies over 105 site-years in the mid-Atlantic and Southeastern US states to determine the independent and combined effect of factors intrinsic to the field (soil and weather) and extrinsic or management factors (CC quantity and quality) on k-values.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a global assessment of soil denitrification rate, N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio, and their driving factors and mitigation strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of urease inhibitor (UI) N-(n-butyl) thiophosphorictriamide (NBPT), the new nitrification inhibitor (NI) 3,4-dimethylpyrazole succinic acid (DMPSA), dual inhibitors (UI+ ǫ) and a biostimulant (BS) on crop yield and soil N2O and NH3 emissions in a wheat-rice rotation system were evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a microcosm experiment with soils that had been subjected to long-term mineral or organic fertilization, and found that cellulose addition significantly reduced the alpha diversity of bacteria and fungi across all fertilization treatments, with a more pronounced effect observed for fungi.

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of organic amendments on soil properties, crop yield, N 2 O and CH 4 emissions, and net ecosystem economic budget (NEEB) were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of organic amendments on soil properties, crop yield, N2O and CH4 emissions, and net ecosystem economic budget (NEEB) were investigated based on a 30-year soybean-wheat cropping system experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of aggregate-associated nitrogen and organic carbon to both the converting forest to agricultural land and erosion in the agricultural region of Northeast China were examined, and the results indicated that the effects of erosion on aggregateassociated organic carbon and N were greater compared with the effect of converting forest-to-agricultural land in this Mollisol region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the most important advances related to the subject, focusing on the domestication and hybridization of the most productive grains globally: wheat, rice, maize, rye and sorghum.

TL;DR: In this article , a meta-analysis was performed to assess changes in microbial abundance in agricultural soils affected by: (i) management practices (tillage, fertilization and crop diversification); and (ii) environmental factors, including climate characteristics and soil properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential effects of reduction in chemical fertilizer with green manure or organic manure on yield-scaled N2O emissions in orchards were investigated in a citrus orchard.

TL;DR: In this article, a special issue collected numerous papers to address share the innovative theoretical foundations and practical approaches for restoring and protecting QTP's grassland ecosystems in the era of global change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a global analysis of published field studies to evaluate N balance (N inputs minus N outputs) as a robust predictor for NO3 losses, using 82 studies (1110 observations) for rainfed cereal crops in temperate regions.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the effects of land conversion from annual to perennial crops on biomass yield, yield stability, and changes in soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stock, and found that perennial crops significantly increased biomass yield and yield stability compared to annual crops.

TL;DR: In this article , a meta-analysis and field experiment were used to determine the key soil chemical factors affecting soil-borne diseases, and the results highlight that soilborne disease can be aggravated by overuse of nitrogen fertilizer and can be alleviated by modifying soil to a suitable pH level.
