Abstract: Although straw mulching and nitrogen applications are extensively practiced in the agriculture sector, large uncertainties remain about their impacts on crop yields and especially the environment. The responses of summer maize yields, fertilizer use efficiency, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the North China Plain (NCP) to two straw management practices (S0: no straw and S1: straw mulching) and two nitrogen application rates (N1: 180 and N2: 210 kg N ha−1) were investigated in field tests in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The highest yields and partial factor productivity (PFP) were obtained by S1N1, followed by S1N2, S0N1, and S0N2. S1N2 had the highest CO2 emissions and greatest CH4 uptake, S0N1 had the lowest CO2 emissions, and S0N2 had the smallest CH4 uptake. The highest and lowest N2O emissions were found in S0N1 and S1N1, respectively. The S1N2 treatment, an extensively applied practice, had the greatest global warming potential (GWP), which was 70.3 % larger than S1N1 and two times more than S0N1 and S0N2. The largest GHG emission intensity (GHGI) of 19.4 was found in the S1N2 treatment, while the other three treatments, S0N1, S0N2, and S1N1, had a GHGI of 10.1, 10.7, and 10.7, respectively according to three tested results. In conclusion, S1N1 treatment achieved a better trade-off between crop yields and GHG emissions of summer maize in NCP.

Saline soils are of great concern globally. Selecting the Yellow River Delta as a model site, the influence of reclamation on soil salinity and saline soil quality was investigated. Soil quality index (SQI) was applied to statistically analyze 210 soil profile samples collected at seven depth layers in 30 sampling sites among native saline soils and three croplands (peanut, cotton, and wheat) in May 2020. After reclamation, the soil salt content (SSC) reduced from 4.52 g/kg to 1.44 g/kg after reclamation, with the degree of soil salinity reducing from severe to slight. The nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) contents of peanut, cotton, and wheat croplands were 1.90, 2.02, and 4.29 times higher and the available phosphorus (AP) contents were 5.43, 3.57, and 8.77 mg/kg higher than that of the saline soils, respectively, while the soil ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) and available potassium (AK) contents were decreased. The NO3--N, AN, and AP contents of the three croplands showed a significant surface aggregation at depth of 0-30 cm. SQI increased by 0.10, 0.09, and 0.02 after the reclamation with the enhancement effect of wheat and cotton was more pronounced. It was discovered that reclamation notably improved the soil quality as a result of crop growth and field management of fertilization and irrigation.
