Changes in Soil Composition over Different Tillage Years and their Cascading Effects on Arthropod Diversity Regulation in Gravel-Sand Mulching Watermelon Fields in the Desert Steppe of Northwest China
2024-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Arthropods, the most abundant group in ecosystems, play crucial roles in human production. Soil physicochemical properties reflect soil health and are linked to arthropods through cascading effects. Gravel-sand mulching, commonly practiced in dry farming regions, initially aids in water retention and temperature regulation. However, long-term cultivation can lead to land degradation and habitat fragmentation. This...
