e4“the intercropped maize root length density (RLD) increased by 33.94-102.84% in the 0-40 cm soil layer, which contributed to an increase in the soil porosity (SP) of 5.58-10.10% in the 0-30 cm soil layer”
e5“an increase in the mean weight diameter of soil aggregates (MWD) of 3.00-15.69%, an increase in the geometric mean diameter of soil aggregates (GMD) of 8.16-26.42%, a decrease in the soil bulk density (SBD) of 4.02-7.35%, and an increase in the soil organic matter content (SOM) of 0.60-4.35%”

- Intervention effect Rice under dry cultivation-maize intercropping increased total yield by 8.63% compared with monoculture.
- Observation Competition indices A, K and ATER were positive or at least 1, indicating a yield advantage of rice-maize intercropping.
- Observation The competition ratio (CR) of rice-maize intercropping was positive or at least 1, indicating a yield advantage.
- Intervention effect Intercropped maize root length density increased by 33.94-102.84% in the 0-40 cm soil layer.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased soil porosity by 5.58-10.10% in the 0-30 cm soil layer.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased the mean weight diameter of soil aggregates by 3.00-15.69%.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased the geometric mean diameter of soil aggregates by 8.16-26.42%.
- Intervention effect Intercropping decreased soil bulk density by 4.02-7.35%.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulation in the plant was significantly higher in intercropping than in monoculture.
- Recommendation Rice under dry cultivation-maize intercropping is feasible in Northeast China.
