Soil organic carbon associated with aggregate-size and density fractions in a Mollisol amended with charred and uncharred maize straw
Published 2019-07-01Get full textStraw return has been strongly recommended in China, whereas applying biochar into soil is considered to provide more benefits for agriculture as well as the environment. In this study, a five-year (2011–2015) field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of uncharred maize straw amendment...

Local nitrogen application increases maize post-silking nitrogen uptake of responsive genotypes via enhanced deep root growth
Published 2023-01-01Get full textNitrogen (N) is unevenly distributed throughout the soil and plant roots proliferate in N-rich soil patches. However, the relationship between the root response to localized N supply and maize N uptake efficiency among different genotypes is unclear. In this study, four maize varieties were evaluate...
