Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Deep tillage with straw increased maize yield by 17.6% versus conventional tillage.
- Observation Straw incorporation raised soil organic carbon by 7.0–28.7%.
- Observation Straw incorporation increased available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
- Observation Straw incorporation increased microbial biomass carbon to nitrogen and carbon to phosphorus ratios.
- Observation Straw incorporation alleviated microbial carbon limitation by 0.7–3.2%.
- Observation Straw incorporation alleviated microbial phosphorus limitation by 0.2–4.6%.
- Observation Straw incorporation increased Proteobacteria relative abundance by 3.0–39.4%.
- Observation Straw incorporation increased Ascomycota relative abundance by 7.8–40.3%.
- Mechanism Straw incorporation increased subsoil bacterial diversity through a greater contribution of stochastic assembly.
- Association Nutrient availability at grain filling was identified as the primary driver of yield formation.
- Mechanism Straw incorporation directly enhanced yield by increasing available nutrients at grain filling.
- Mechanism Relieved microbial nutrient limitations improved bacterial community structure.
- Mechanism Relieved microbial nutrient limitations promoted soil organic carbon accumulation.
