- Intervention effect No-till wheat with rice-residue mulch had 9% higher mean grain yield than conventional-till wheat.
- Intervention effect No-till wheat with rice-residue mulch had 22% higher mean grain yield than no-till wheat without rice-residue mulch.
- Intervention effect Soil C pools were significantly higher under no-till dry-seeded rice with NTW+RR than under conventional-till puddled transplanted rice with CTW.
- Association Macro-aggregates had higher labile C pools, glomalin content and enzyme activities than micro-aggregates.
- Intervention effect NTW+RR significantly increased soil C pools within both macro- and micro-aggregates.
- Intervention effect Compared with CTW, NTW+RR increased soil dehydrogenase activity by 23%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CTW, NTW+RR increased soil cellulase activity by 34%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CTW, NTW+RR increased soil alkaline phosphatase activity by 14%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CTW, NTW+RR increased water-soluble organic C by 31%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CTW, NTW+RR increased water-stable aggregates and mean-weight-diameter.
- Observation Soil labile-C pools across aggregate fractions were the most sensitive indicators of soil quality under the compared management practices.
