In order to clarify the impact of no-tillage on the quality of farmland soil aggregates in China and promote the adaptive application of no-tillage practices, a Meta-analysis was conducted by collecting data from 116 published studies. The effects of no-tillage on aggregate size distribution, mean weight diameter (MWD), and aggregate-associated C were studied. The results showed that compared with that under tillage, no-tillage significantly increased the proportion of macroaggregates (10.

To ensure the effect of biochar on the carbon sequestration of farmlands in China, a Meta-analysis was carried out via collecting published literatures. We quantitatively analyzed the response of biochar application to soil aggregates, aggregate carbon, and soil organic carbon to different experimental conditions.

It aimed to provide a reference for promoting farmland ecological restoration and farmland quality improvement in the alluvial plain of the lower Yellow River. Farmland soil subject to a long-term rotation fallow experiment since 2018 was studied using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology, and the 'FUNGuild' fungal function prediction tool was used to analyze differences in soil fungal community structure and function under the following four rotation fallow regimes: long fallow (LF), winter wheat and summer fallow (WF), winter fallow and summer maize (FM), and annual rotation of winter wheat and summer maize (WM).

Based on a long-term positioning trial started in 2012, five straw management methods were considered, C100 (100% return), C75 (75% return+25% harvest), C50 (50% return+50% harvest), C25 (25% return+75% harvest), and C0 (100% harvest). We analyzed the effects of farmland carbon and nitrogen inputs and their ratios on crop yield, carbon and nitrogen use efficiency, and economic benefits in wheat and maize anniversaries with different straw managements.

Farmland soil subject to a long-term rotation fallow experiment since 2018 was studied using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology, and the 'Tax4Fun' bacterial function prediction tool was used to analyze differences in soil bacterial community structure and function under the following four rotation fallow regimes:long fallow(LF), winter wheat and summer fallow(WF), winter fallow and summer maize(FM), and annual rotation of winter wheat and summer maize(WM). The environmental factors affecting changes in the soil bacterial community structure and function were also analyzed.
