摘要
In agroecosystems, effective straw return modes are one of the key practices for increasing soil fertility and carbon (C) availability. Although they improve soil quality, there is currently little information available regarding the influence of distinct straw return modes with respect to potential soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. In this study, we established a five-year (2015-2019) field experiment in Mollisols of Northeast China, which included four straw return modes, plow tillage with straw return as the control (PTS), rotary tillage with straw return (RTS), rotary tillage with straw strip return (RSS), and plow tillage with straw strip return (PSS), to investigate the impact on soil physicochemical properties, aggregates, and C sequestration. The results reveal that RSS effectively improved the soil physicochemical properties. Such responses increased the contents of SOC, fulvic acid carbon (FAC), and humin carbon (HMC) in all soil layers (0-30 cm). The proportion of macroaggregates was higher in RSS, whereas the proportion of silt/clay was the lowest at depths of 0-20 cm; consequently, the mean weight diameter (MWD) and geometric mean diameter (GMD) of RSS were higher at depths of 0-20 cm due to the improved physical soil structure. In the 0-10 cm and 20-30 cm layers, the highest humic acid carbon (HAC) concentrations associated with all aggregate sizes were found for RSS, in contrast to 10-20 cm, which had increased HMC. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that C transformation was mainly mediated through silt/clay-associated FAC, HMC, and SOC, ultimately determining HAC (81%) and HMC (85%) as the primary humus fractions for SOC sequestration. Therefore, this study shows that RSS is the suitable straw return mode for effectively improving soil quality, aggregate stability, and C sequestration in Mollisols of Northeast China.
