Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Sod-seeding patterns increased soil electrical conductivity and mean aggregate size compared with clean tillage.
- Intervention effect Sod-seeding patterns improved soil nutrient status compared with clean tillage.
- Intervention effect The TPr pattern significantly enhanced soil enzyme activities related to carbon and nitrogen cycles.
- Intervention effect Sod-seeding patterns had no significant effect on genes for assimilatory nitrate reduction, denitrification or nitrification.
- Intervention effect Sod-seeding patterns significantly increased DNRA and nitrogen degradation gene abundances.
- Intervention effect Sod-seeding patterns reduced abundances of N2O-producing genes amoA + amoB and nirS + nirK.
- Intervention effect TPr reduced N2O emissions by 34.0% relative to clean tillage.
- Intervention effect TPr reduced N2O emissions by 35.7% relative to the Pr pattern.
- Intervention effect TPr reduced N2O emissions by 41.0% relative to the Tr pattern.
- Mechanism Structural equation modeling indicates sod-seeding reduced N2O emissions mainly through lower soil NH4+-N and nirS + nirK abundance.
- Observation TPr showed the best comprehensive benefits among the sod-seeding patterns in peach orchards.
