有机肥中可溶性有机碳、氮含量及其特性

测定了7种不同种类、不同腐熟程度有机肥中可溶性有机氮（SON）和可溶性有机碳（SOC）的含量,结果表明：有机肥的水和0．01mol／LCaCl2溶液提取液中SON含量分别平均为105．2mg／L和91．6mg／L;每千克干样平均含SON分别为1188mg和1037mg;SON占可溶性总氮（TSN）和全氮（TN）的比例分别在70．5％～74．7％和4．3％～4．9％之间。水和0．01mol／LCaCl2溶液提取液中SOC含量分别平均为695mg／L和622mg／L;每千克干样平均含SOC分别为7873mg和7054mg;SOC占有机肥有机碳（TOC）比例分别平均为2．1％和1．9％;SOC／SON平均分别为6．7和6．9。SON与SOC间的相关性较高,SON与NO3^--N含量呈现负相关关系。有机肥料中的可溶性氮素绝大部分以SON形式存在,如此高的SON和SOC含量可能会成为氮、碳养分流失和环境污染的潜在来源。     

黄土区不同类型土壤可溶性有机氮的含量及特性

测定了黄土高原地区不同生态系统土壤中可溶性有机氮（SON）和游离氨基酸的含量,并分析了其与土壤其他性质之间的关系。结果表明,黑垆土、红油土和淋溶褐土中SON的平均含量分别为24．75、39．10mg／kg和41．80mg／kg,占可溶性总氮（TSN）的51．25％、68．28％和68．57％,分别为土壤全氮的2．54％、3．75％和4．00％;土壤游离氨基酸的含量分别为7．18、7．42mg／kg和7．41mg／kg,分别占SON的30．53％、19．23％和17．50％,占全氮的0．74％、0．71％和0．71％．方差分析结果表明,土壤类型对土壤SON含量及其在TSN和全氮中所占的比例、游离氨基酸在SON中所占的比例有显著影响,而对游离氨基酸的含量及其占土壤全氮比例的影响未达显著水平。枯枝落叶层中SON含量（248．26mg／kg）为农田土壤（24．75mg／kg）的10倍左右,且林地土壤0～20cm土层SON含量（31．03mg／kg）显著的高于当地农田,两种生态系统0～20cm土层土壤中游离氨基酸含量（7．18～7．32mg／kg）相当,但均极显著低于枯枝落叶层中游离氨基酸平均含量（18．57mg／kg）。相关分析结果表明,TSN、SON以及游离氨基酸与全氮、硝态氮、铵态氮、有机质等各养分之间均有极显著的相关性。     

不同园艺生产系统土壤可溶性有机氮差异

运用超速离心技术和KCl浸提法测定了不同园艺生产系统（有机(OS)、转换期(TS)、常规(CS)生产系统）土壤中可溶性有机氮（SON）、溶解性有机氮（DON）、游离氨基酸（FA A）等含量及其与土壤其他性质之间的关系.结果表明：供试土壤SON含量表现为OS>CS>TS,SON含量分别为土壤可溶性总氮（TSN）的42.9%、24.5%和18.4%,分别为土壤全氮的11.1%、11.9%和7.4%;OS、TS、CS生产系统土壤DON含量分别为4.38、1.68和3.26 mg·kg ^-1,分别占TSN的47.9%、22.1%和26.1%,占土壤全氮的2.9%、2.3%和3.6%;而FAA含量则表现为CS>TS>OS,分别占TSN和SON的1%～3%和2%～10%.相关分析表明,TSN、SON及FAA与全氮、全碳、硝态氮、铵态氮等各养分之间均有极显著相关关系（P<0.01）.因此,不同园艺生产系统的管理方式改变了土壤SON的含量及其特性.     

土壤可溶性有机氮研究进展

可溶性有机氮(SON)和无机氮是陆地生态系统氮循环过程中重要的氮素形态,互为“源”和“汇”。陆地生态系统中氮素和其他营养元素的矿化、固持、淋溶和植物吸收均与SON有密切的联系。SON在土壤物质循环和养分流动等动态过程中的作用越来越受到关注,已成为生态学、环境学、土壤学、水文学等研究领域的热点之一。本文综述了国内外对土壤SON的研究进展,包括SON的定义和测定、SON库容大小和组成、植物和微生物对SON的吸收利用、SON来源及其影响因素、SON在土壤中的转化运移和淋失等。综合国内外研究结果发现,土壤SON是一个复杂的多组分可溶性有机物的混合物,主要为难降解的物质(惰性成分),能快速矿化分解的物质(活性成分)占比较低。由于惰性成分和活性成分在周转速率上的差异,SON在生态系统氮循环中的地位不能完全通过SON的容量特征来反映。因此,为了更准确地反映SON在氮周转、氮吸收和氮流失中的作用,未来需要创新研究方法并对SON组分加以区分:研究SON在氮转化和氮吸收中的作用时,重点关注SON中的活性成分;研究SON在氮淋溶径流损失中的贡献时,则重点关注SON中的惰性成分。     

退化红壤区人工林土壤的可溶性有机物、微生物生物量和酶活性

以江西省泰和县退化红壤区18年生马尾松纯林(Ⅰ)、马尾松 枫香 木荷混交林(Ⅱ)、木荷纯林(Ⅲ)和枫香纯林(Ⅳ)4种人工林林分为对象,并以自然恢复的无林荒草地为对照(CK),研究其土壤的可溶性有机碳(SOC)、氮(SON),微生物生物量碳(MBC)、氮(MBN)和土壤酶活性的变化.结果表明： 在0～10 cm土层,各林分类型的土壤SOC、SON含量分别为354～1007 mg·kg^-1和24～73 mg·kg^-1,MBC、MBN含量分别为203～488 mg·kg^-1和24～65 mg·kg^-1,脲酶和天门冬酰胺酶活性分别为95～133 mg·kg^-1·d^-1和58～113 mg·kg^-1·d^-1.不同林分类型之间SOC、SON含量为Ⅳ>CK > Ⅲ>Ⅰ>Ⅱ,MBC、MBN含量为CK>Ⅳ>Ⅲ>Ⅰ>Ⅱ,天门冬酰胺酶活性为Ⅳ>CK>Ⅲ>Ⅱ>Ⅰ,差异显著,而脲酶活性没有显著差异.随着土层加深,SOC、SON、MBC、MBN、脲酶及天门冬酰胺酶活性下降.在0～20 cm土层,SOC、SON、MBC、MBN、全碳和全氮两两之间达极显著相关.天门冬酰胺酶活性与SOC、SON、MBC、MBN、TSN、全碳、全氮极显著相关;而脲酶活性与SON、MBCMBN、TSN、全碳显著相关.     

碳酸钙对土壤镉吸附及解吸的影响

采用等温吸附法,并以1mol/L KNO3进行解吸试验,研究CaCO3对3种土壤镉吸附和解吸的影响。结果表明,3种土壤的原状土样对镉吸附总趋势为：栗钙土＞棕壤＞淋溶褐土,均符合Langmuir方程、Frenudlich方程和Temink方程,其中以Freumdlich方程最佳。镉的专性吸附量表现为栗钙土＞淋溶褐土＞棕壤。添加CaCO3使3种土壤中镉的吸附量增加,增加幅度棕壤为4％－11％,淋溶褐土2％－11％,栗钙土2％－8％。外界加入的镉浓度越高,增加幅度越大。Freundlich方程（lgX=lgK lgC/n）拟合的参数结果表明：加入CaCO3后,K和n值均下降;Langmuir方程中镉最大吸附值增加,吸附平均常数减小。可以推测,CaCO3的存在之所以能够使土壤体系吸附镉能力增加,除CaCO3本身的吸附作用增加,吸附平衡常数减小。可以推测,CaCO3的存在之所以能够使土壤体系吸附镉能力增加,除CaCO3本身的吸附作用外,还可能影响反应体系的平衡系数。加入CaCO3,土壤对镉的专性吸附明显增加,尤其以棕壤专性吸附的镉最多,淋溶褐土其次,而栗钙土增加较少,栗钙土去除CaCO3后,镉的吸附减少了2.0%-26.0%,土壤专性吸附的镉减少4.0%-38.2%。3种土壤镉的解吸能力表现为：棕壤＞淋溶褐土＞栗钙土。添加CaCO3,土壤镉的解吸量下降。去除CaCO3后,栗钙土匐解吸量明显增加。     

落叶松林土壤可溶性碳、氮和官能团特征的时空变化及与土壤理化性质的关系

土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)、可溶性有机氮(DON)及其官能团特征在土壤碳、氮循环中作用非常重要。对25个不同年龄落叶松林样地、4个深度(0-20、20-40、40-60和60-80 cm)土壤DOC、DON、有机物官能团(芳香性、分子量和疏水性)特征指标(254、260、272 nm和280 nm的单位吸光度值SUVA:吸光度值/DOC含量)和土壤理化指标(土壤全碳SOC、全氮SON、pH值、电导率、容重)进行测定,旨在探究它们的时、空变化特征及与土壤理化指标相关关系。在空间尺度上,与SOC、SON一致,表层土壤DOC、DON多显著高于深层(P<0.05),但是4个单位吸光度值SUVA₂₅₄、SUVA₂₆₀、SUVA₂₇₂和 SUVA₂₈₀均不存在差异(P>0.05);在时间尺度上,仅表层土壤DOC、SOC 和SON随落叶松年龄显著线性增长(P<0.05),而深层DOC、SOC、SON、不同层土壤DON及各官能团指标均没有显著变化(P>0.05)。可见,土壤可溶性有机物内碳的累积(7 mg kg^-1 a^-1)是SOC累积的一部分(762 mg kg^-1 a^-1),但其DON及可溶性有机物芳香性比例、分子量大小及疏水性容量等官能团特征并未受落叶松生长时间以及土壤深度的显著影响。进一步回归分析表明这些官能团指标随土壤DOC含量增加而指数下降,深层土壤同时受DON显著影响。表层土壤DOC、DON与土壤SOC、SON、土壤电导率显著正相关(P<0.05),深层相关不显著(P>0.05),而官能团指标与土壤理化性质的相关性在各个土层均不显著,显示出表层土壤可溶性有机物的量,而不是官能团组成对土壤理化性质影响显著,而深层土壤可溶性有机物量对土壤理化性质不构成显著影响。对于从可溶性组分、官能团角度,分析落叶松人工林成长过程中土壤碳、氮时空变化具有科学意义。     

万木林自然保护区不同林分土壤可溶性有机氮含量

对福建建瓯万木林自然保护区内细柄阿丁枫天然林(ALG)、米槠天然林(CAC)和35年生杉木人工林(CUL)土壤可溶性有机氮含量(SON)进行了研究.结果表明:3种林分中,ALG0～5cm、5～10cm和10～20cm层土壤SON含量最高,分别为95.3、78.3和72.5mg.kg-1,且与其余林分差异显著(P0.05);而CAC与CUL各土层SON含量分别为74.5、70.1、65.6mg.kg-1和78.6、68.9、69.1mg.kg-1.CAC、CUL和ALG在0～20cm土层的SON含量分别占可溶性总氮(TSN)组分的79.17%～80.78%、68.64%～74.51%和59.97%～69.66%,随着土层加深,3种林分SON含量占土壤TSN和全氮(TN)含量的比例不断增大;SON与土壤有机碳含量极显著相关(r=0.982,P0.01),与TSN、TN、铵态氮和硝态氮等土壤养分也存在不同程度的相关性.土壤SON含量与森林类型、地形、海拔以及树龄等因素有关.     

落叶松林土壤溶液吸光度与土壤碳、氮含量的相关性

通过4个土壤深度100个样品14个波长(250、254、260、265、272、280、285、300、340、350、365、400、436和465 nm)土壤溶液吸光度值和土壤碳(可溶性碳DOC、全碳SOC)、土壤氮(可溶性氮DON、全氮SON)的测定,旨在探讨土壤溶液吸光度指示土壤碳氮指标的可行性及土壤深度对其可能影响。结论如下:(1)表层土壤和深层土壤吸光度值均随波长增加而指数下降,但表层土壤吸光度值较高,下降速度较快,较低波长更有利于区分表层和深层土壤溶液吸光度差异;和深层土壤相比,表层0～20 cm土壤SOC、DON和SON与不同波长吸光度有更好的相关性,但DOC与不同波长吸光度的相关性表层和深层差异较小;(2)250～300 nm的8个吸光度值具有高度相关性,它们在分析土壤溶液吸光度变化时具有等效性;基于所有数据的拟合分析发现,低波长(如254 nm)吸光度与土壤SOC、DON和SON相关性最高(R2=0.53～0.59),而更高波长(340 nm及以上)相关性明显降低。但DOC与254、340、365和400 nm吸光度相关性相差不大(R2=0.25～0.33)。这些发现说明,土壤溶液吸光度值,特别是低波长(250～300 nm)可以表征落叶松林土壤碳、氮相关指标的变化,但是需要考虑不同碳氮指标以及不同土层之间的差异。     

原状土与非原状土对土壤自养微生物碳同化能力的影响

自养微生物在土壤中广泛存在,但原状土与非原状土对其CO2同化能力的影响尚不明确。因此,本研究采用14C连续标记示踪技术,选取亚热带区4种典型土壤进行室内模拟培养,探讨了原状土与非原状土对农田土壤自养微生物碳同化能力及其对土壤碳库活性组分的影响。结果表明:连续标记培养110 d后,原状土与非原状土样均表现出可观的CO2同化能力,根据估算,非原状土、原状土的CO2同化速率分别为0.015~0.148、0.007~0.050 g·m-2·d-1,说明土壤受扰动可能加剧自养微生物的活性,增强土壤自养微生物的CO2同化能力。相关分析表明,土壤自养微生物同化碳(14C-SOC)与其微生物截留碳(14CMBC)呈极显著正相关(R2=0.955)。而且,土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)、微生物量碳(MBC)和土壤有机碳(SOC)的更新率分别为:0.9%~4.5%、2.2%~9.7%和0.09%~0.43%(原状土);0.26%~1.09%、3.6%~20%和2.9%~5.7%(非原状土)。土壤自养微生物同化碳的输入对土壤活性碳组分的DOC、MBC含量变化影响较大,而对SOC影响较小。本研究丰富和扩大了土壤微生物的基本功能和在土壤碳循环过程中作用的认识。     

On the Adsorption of Human Acidic Proline-rich Proteins (PRP-1 and PRP-3) and Statherin at Solid/liquid Interfaces

The objective of the present study was to investigate the adsorption of PRP-1, PRP-3 and statherin to solid surfaces in terms of dependence on concentration, the presence of electrolyte and surface wettability. Time resolved in situ ellipsometry was used to determine the adsorbed amounts and adsorption rates of pure PRP-1, PRP-3 and statherin onto pure (hydrophilic) and methylated (hydrophobized) silica surfaces. The initial film build-up was fast and plateaus were reached within 10 min at all concentrations for both types of surfaces and all proteins. The observed adsorption and calculated diffusion rates of PRP-1, PRP-3 and statherin, respectively, indicated that the initial adsorption was mass transport controlled at low concentrations. At hydrophobic surfaces, isotherm shapes and adsorbed amounts were similar for PRP-1 and PRP-3, while statherin adsorbed to a higher extent. At hydrophilic surfaces only PRP-1 adsorbed substantially, while for PRP-3 and statherin adsorbed amounts were low. The presence of Ca 2+ ions in the phosphate buffer solution increased the adsorption of statherin and PRP-3 on hydrophobic surfaces, while PRP-1 was unaffected. On hydrophilic surfaces, all three proteins adsorbed in higher amounts in NaCl, compared to CaCl 2 at similar ionic strength. It is concluded that acidic PRPs (PRP-1 and PRP-3) and statherin readily form films on a variety of materials and solution conditions, showing that their functions may be fulfilled under a wide range of conditions.     

镉在黑土和棕壤中吸附行为比较研究

比较研究了重金属镉在黑土和棕壤中的吸附热力学和动力学行为.结果表明,在实验设定的浓度范围内,黑土和棕壤对Cd²⁺吸附量随溶液中Cd²⁺浓度的增加而增加.黑土对Cd²⁺的吸附固定能力明显强于棕壤.在平衡液浓度为20 mg·kg^-1时,黑土对Cd²⁺的吸附量为1 485.2 mg·kg^-1、棕壤为700.6 mg·kg^-1.两种土壤对Cd²⁺的吸附等温线与Langmuir、Freundlich和Henry方程均有较好的拟合性,而Temkin方程不适合用来描述Cd²⁺在两种土壤中的等温吸附.根据Langmuir的拟合结果,Cd²⁺在黑土和棕壤中的最大吸附量分别可达5 939.3和2 790 mg·kg^-1.黑土较高的吸附能力与其高的有机质含量和粘粒含量有关.黑土和棕壤中Cd²⁺的吸附是一个快速反应过程,2 min内能达到平衡吸附量的90%,15～30 min左右达到吸附平衡.一级动力学方程是拟合Cd²⁺在黑土和棕壤中吸附动力学过程的最优方程,其次为Elovich方程和双常数方程.随着初始浓度的增加,Cd²⁺在土壤中的吸附速率也不断增大.随着吸附量的增大和反应时间的延长,吸附速率不断下降.在较低的初始浓度下,Cd²⁺在黑土中的下降趋势要快于棕壤.     

Discontinuous formation and desorption of clusters during particles adsorption at surfaces

A theoretical model was derived to describe the discontinuous formation and desorption of clusters during particle adsorption at surfaces. Two steps were investigated: (1) time-dependent adsorption, where we found that the initial slope and the limiting magnitude of an adsorption isotherm depend on the clusters' distribution. A higher magnitude of both the adsorption and desorption rates appear to contract the time scale and hence increase the initial slope. Decreasing the geometrical parameter, q, which represents the shape of an adsorbed cluster, enhances the growth of large clusters on the surface. (2) A concentration dependence model shows that the number of adsorbed molecules increases with increases in the value of n (nucleation capacity). Furthermore, higher rates of adsorption provide steeper initial slopes (higher affinity of, molecules to surface). Decreasing q from 2 to 1, i.e. from a circular to a linear cluster formation, slightly decreases the magnitude of the isotherms.     

Sulphur mineralization and adsorption in soils

Summary Studies were conducted to determine the comparative sulphur mineralizing capacity of selected Malaysian and Iowan soils and to determine the amounts of available and adsorbed sulphate in a number of Malaysian soils. Results of the mineralization study indicated that more sulphur mineralised from Malaysian soils although their average contents of total sulphur were lower compared to Iowan Soils. For both sets of soils, significant correlations between contents of organic carbon and total sulphur existed indicating that most of the sulphur was in organic combination. Phosphate solution consistently extracted higher quantities of sulphate in comparison to chloride solution in the Malaysian surface soils implying that a portion of the sulphate existed in adsorbed form. Adsorption of sulphate in soils was found to be dependent on concentration of sulphate added and followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.     

Direct measurement of soil organic carbon content change in the croplands of China

Agricultural soils in China have been estimated to have a large potential for carbon sequestration, and modelling and literature survey studies have yielded contrasting results of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change, ranging from ?2.0 to +0.6% yr^?1. To assess the validity of earlier estimates, we collected 1394 cropland soil profiles from all over the country and measured SOC contents in 2007–2008, and compared them with those of a previous national soil survey conducted in 1979–1982. The results showed that average SOC content in the 0–20 cm soil increased from 11.95 g kg^?1 in 1979–1982 to 12.67 g kg^?1 in 2007–2008, averaging 0.22% yr^?1. The standard deviation of SOC contents decreased. Four major soil types had statistically significant changes in their mean SOC contents for 0–20 cm. These were: +7.5% for Anthrosols (paddy soils), +18.3% for Eutric Cambisols, +30.5% for Fluvisols, and ?22.3% for Chernozems. The change of SOC contents showed a negative relationship with the average SOC contents of the two sampling campaigns only when soils in the region south of Yangtse River were excluded. SOC contents of the two major soil types in the region south of Yangtse River, i.e., Haplic Alisols/Haplic Acrisols and Anthrosols (paddy soils), changed little or significantly increased, though with a high SOC content. We suggest that the increase of SOC content is mainly attributed to the large increase in crop yields since the 1980s, and the short history as cropland establishment is mainly responsible for the decrease in SOC content for some soil types and regions showing a SOC decline.     

Soil carbon and nitrogen stores and storage potential as affected by land-use in an agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China

Equilibrium carbon stock is the result of a balance between inputs and outflows to the pool. Changes in land-use are likely to alter such balance, resulting in different carbon stores under different land-use types in addition to the impacts of global climate change. In an agro-pastoral ecotone of Inner Mongolia, northern China, we investigated productivity and belowground carbon and nitrogen stores under six different types of land-uses, namely free grazing (FG), grazing exclusion (GE), mowing (MW), corn plantation (CP), fallow (FL), and alfalfa pasture (AP), and their impacts on litter and fine roots in semiarid grassland ecosystems. We found that there were great variations in aboveground net primary production (ANPP) across the six land-use types, with CP having markedly high ANPP; the FG had significantly reduced soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen stores (SON) to 100 cm depth compared with all other types of land uses, while very little litter accumulation was found on sites of the FG and CP. The top 20 cm of soils accounted for about 80% of the root carbon and nitrogen, with very little roots being found below 50 cm. About 60% of SOC and SON were stored in the top 30 cm layer. Land-use change altered the inputs of organic matters, thus affecting SOC and SON stores accordingly; the MW and GE sites had 59 and 56% more SOC and 61% more SON than the FG. Our estimation suggested that restoring severely degraded and overgrazed grasslands could potentially increase SOC and SON stores by more than 55%; conversion from the native grasses to alfalfa could potentially double the aboveground biomass production, and further increase SOC and SON stores by more than 20%. Our study demonstrated significant carbon and nitrogen storage potential of the agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China through land-use changes and improved management in the context of mitigating global climate change.     

Bacterial Community Composition in Brazilian Anthrosols and Adjacent Soils Characterized Using Culturing and Molecular Identification

Microbial community composition was examined in two soil types, Anthrosols and adjacent soils, sampled from three locations in the Brazilian Amazon. The Anthrosols, also known as Amazonian dark earths, are highly fertile soils that are a legacy of pre-Columbian settlement. Both Anthrosols and adjacent soils are derived from the same parent material and subject to the same environmental conditions, including rainfall and temperature; however, the Anthrosols contain high levels of charcoal-like black carbon from which they derive their dark color. The Anthrosols typically have higher cation exchange capacity, higher pH, and higher phosphorus and calcium contents. We used culture media prepared from soil extracts to isolate bacteria unique to the two soil types and then sequenced their 16S rRNA genes to determine their phylogenetic placement. Higher numbers of culturable bacteria, by over two orders of magnitude at the deepest sampling depths, were counted in the Anthrosols. Sequences of bacteria isolated on soil extract media yielded five possible new bacterial families. Also, a higher number of families in the bacteria were represented by isolates from the deeper soil depths in the Anthrosols. Higher bacterial populations and a greater diversity of isolates were found in all of the Anthrosols, to a depth of up to 1 m, compared to adjacent soils located within 50–500 m of their associated Anthrosols. Compared to standard culture media, soil extract media revealed diverse soil microbial populations adapted to the unique biochemistry and physiological ecology of these Anthrosols. The author J. Peterson is already deceased.     

Effects of long‐term straw return on soil organic carbon storage and sequestration rate in North China upland crops: A meta‐analysis

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for soil fertility and climate change mitigation, and carbon can be sequestered in soil through proper soil management, including straw return. However, results of studies of long‐term straw return on SOC are contradictory and increasing SOC stocks in upland soils is challenging. This study of North China upland agricultural fields quantified the effects of several fertilizer and straw return treatments on SOC storage changes and crop yields, considering different cropping duration periods, soil types, and cropping systems to establish the relationships of SOC sequestration rates with initial SOC stocks and annual straw C inputs. Our meta‐analysis using long‐term field experiments showed that SOC stock responses to straw return were greater than that of mineral fertilizers alone. Black soils with higher initial SOC stocks also had lower SOC stock increases than did soils with lower initial SOC stocks (fluvo‐aquic and loessial soils) following applications of nitrogen‐phosphorous‐potassium (NPK) fertilizer and NPK+S (straw). Soil C stocks under the NPK and NPK+S treatments increased in the more‐than‐20‐year duration period, while significant SOC stock increases in the NP and NP+S treatment groups were limited to the 11‐ to 20‐year period. Annual crop productivity was higher in double‐cropped wheat and maize under all fertilization treatments, including control (no fertilization), than in the single‐crop systems (wheat or maize). Also, the annual soil sequestration rates and annual straw C inputs of the treatments with straw return (NP+S and NPK+S) were significantly positively related. Moreover, initial SOC stocks and SOC sequestration rates of those treatments were highly negatively correlated. Thus, long‐term straw return integrated with mineral fertilization in upland wheat and maize croplands leads to increased crop yields and SOC stocks. However, those effects of straw return are highly dependent on fertilizer management, cropping system, soil type, duration period, and the initial SOC content.
