Crop residue retention and fertilizer application are the main sources of soil nutrient input in fields. Crop residue retention combined with appropriate fertilizer application rates could provide necessary nutrients for crop production under the premise of environmentally friendly conditions. The aim of this study was to clarify the influence of different topdressing nitrogen rates on the soil fungal community in a wheat field under crop residue retention and to evaluate the rationality of nitrogen fertilizer management in winter wheat from the perspective of soil ecological function.

The aim of this study was to clarify the difference in soil fungal communities under diversified rotations of wheat and different crops in the North China Plain and to provide a theoretical basis for the construction and optimization of ecological sustainable planting systems. The soil fungal community abundance, composition, and diversity of continuous winter wheat-summer maize M, winter wheat-summer peanut (summer maize) PM, and winter wheat-summer soybean (summer maize) SM treatments were studied using real-time quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing technology.

The effects of different irrigation regimes on photosynthesis, plant growth, water use efficiency (WUE), and grain yield in winter wheat were examined in a common garden with rainout shelter during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. The experiment consisted of two irrigation timings, jointing stage (J) and anthesis (F), and three irrigation levels, 0, 37.5 and 75 mm, which generated nine irrigation combinations, i.

The research explored the condition to cultivate nitritation granular sludge, under the condition of continuous flow. The C/N rate was decreased from 1 to 0.
