- * It finds significant spatial differences in nitrate leaching across the region, identifying Wudi and Hekou as low-risk areas, while the majority are high-risk, driven by factors like clay content and soil pH.
- * The researchers recommend reducing chemical and organic fertilizer use by 20% to cut nitrate leaching by 43.8%, with only a slight impact of 3% on crop yields, aiming for a balance between economic and environmental needs.
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) in cropland represents a significant facet of the terrestrial ecosystem's carbon reservoirs, playing a pivotal role in global climate change mitigation efforts. Within the specific context of China, cropland SOC not only extends its implications beyond environmental impact but also serves as a critical factor in ensuring the stability and security of the nation's food supply. However, there is an ongoing argument about the changes in SOC and their spatial and temporal distribution patterns within China's croplands.
