Abstract
The winter wheat-summer maize double cropping system has long been a dominant practice in the North China Plain. However, its continuous use has led to soil fertility decline, biodiversity losses, and nutrient imbalances, thus threatening grain production sustainability. Crop rotations are of great essential to enhance soil health and resilience, but its benefits for the winter wheat-summer maize system in this region remain poorly understood.
