Effects of straw incorporation on soil organic matter and soil water-stable aggregates content in semiarid regions of Northwest China.
The soil degradation caused by conventional tillage in rain-fed areas of northwest China is known to reduce the water-use efficiency and crop yield because of reduced soil porosity and the decreased availability of soil water and nutrients. Thus, we investigated the effects of straw incorporation on...
