Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Soil water content (SWC) increased under no tillage (NT)
- Observation Water-stable aggregates (WSAs) improved under no tillage (NT), reaching 88.41%
- Mechanism The improvement of water-stable aggregates under NT is attributed to incorporation of cover crop or plant residues
- Intervention effect Mean grain yield under no tillage (NT) was lower than under conventional tillage (CT) over four years
- Observation Bulk density and water-stable aggregates were moderately and positively correlated
- Observation Bulk density and soil water content showed no linear correlation (r = 0.089)
- Observation Water-stable aggregates and soil water content showed no linear correlation (r = 0.026)
- Recommendation No tillage could contribute to land sustainability and climate mitigation
