- Intervention effect Straw incorporation (SI) and straw mulching (SM) also improved certain physiological indices of maize, but their effects were weaker than those of deep straw incorporation (DF).
- Association Random forest analysis identified sap nitrate content, bleeding intensity, root length and root volume as key determinants of maize yield.
- Mechanism PLS-SEM showed that straw return enhanced maize root morphology and bleeding traits (path coefficients 0.96 and 0.82), which improved leaf photosynthetic traits (0.52 and 0.39) and biomass accumulation (0.71).
