Deficit irrigation and biochar are important strategies for conserving freshwater resources and improving soil quality in arid, saline-alkaline irrigation districts, yet their effects on the molecular composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) remains insufficiently studied. This study quantified the effects of three biochar rates (0, 15, and 30 t ha⁻¹) and two drip irrigation regimes—full (100 % ETc) and deficit (60 % ETc)—on soil moisture (SM), bulk density (BD), electrical conductivity, pH, total nitrogen (TN), and SOC fractions in sunflower soils. Under deficit irrigation, 15 t ha⁻¹ biochar produced the greatest improvement in soil conditions—raising SM by 20.7 %–30.8 %, water storage by 9.7 %–46.4 %, TN by 5.6 %–16.1 %, and SOC by 16.0 %–59.1 %, while reducing BD by 1.2 %–14.6 %. In contrast, 30 t ha⁻¹ primarily altered SOC fractions, increasing particulate organic carbon (POC) by 1.3 %–59.2 %, causing an initial rise subsequent 11.1 %–35.9 % decline in easily oxidizable carbon (EOC), and producing a short-term increase followed by a decrease in dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Under full irrigation, SOC and POC increased with biochar rates, with 30 t ha⁻¹ achieving 21.2 %–95.1 % and 53.4 %–62.8 % higher levels, respectively, than no-biochar soils. Random forest and structural equation modeling showed that biochar rate was the main driver of POC and soil chemical properties exerted stronger controls on EOC and DOC than physical properties. Deficit irrigation combined with biochar improved soil physicochemical properties and enhanced labile carbon stability, with 15 t ha⁻¹ optimizing soil conditions and 30 t ha⁻¹ promoting labile carbon accumulation.
亏缺灌溉和生物炭是干旱盐碱灌区节约淡水资源和改善土壤质量的重要策略,但对土壤有机碳(SOC)分子组成的影响研究尚不充分。本研究量化了三种生物炭率(0、15和30 - 1 - 1)和两种滴灌方式——满(100 %等)和亏(60 %等)对向日葵土壤水分(SM)、容重(BD)、电导率、pH值、总氮(TN)和有机碳组分的影响。亏灌溉下,15 t ha⁻¹ 生物炭生产最大的改善土壤conditions-raising SM 20.7  % % -30.8,水储存9.7  % % -46.4,TN 5.6  % % -16.1,16.0和SOC  % % -59.1,同时减少BD 1.2  % % -14.6。相反,30 t ha 主要改变了土壤有机碳(SOC)组分,增加了颗粒物有机碳(POC) 1.3 % -59.2 %,导致易氧化碳(EOC)的初始上升,随后11.1 % -35.9 %下降,并产生短期增加后溶解有机碳(DOC)的减少。在充分灌溉条件下,土壤有机碳和POC随生物炭添加量的增加而增加,30 t ha⁻¹ 的土壤有机碳和POC水平分别比无生物炭土壤高21.2% % - 95.1% %和53.4 % -62.8 %。随机森林模型和结构方程模型表明,生物炭率是POC的主要驱动因素,土壤化学性质对EOC和DOC的控制强于物理性质。亏缺灌溉与生物炭相结合,改善了土壤理化性质,增强了不稳定碳的稳定性,15 t ha⁻¹ 优化了土壤条件,30 t ha⁻¹ 促进了不稳定碳的积累。

Improving agroecosystem sustainability requires optimizing water and nitrogen use efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. A two-year field study (2022–2023) was conducted on China’s Loess Plateau to investigate the effects of three mulching practices (black film, white film, and no mulching) combined with four nitrogen management strategies (conventional urea at 270 kg N ha⁻¹, optimized urea at 200 kg N ha⁻¹, and controlled-release urea at 170 and 140 kg N ha⁻¹) on soil hydrothermal dynamics, total dry matter production (DMP), evapotranspiration (ETc act), water productivity (WP), and nitrogen use efficiency. White film mulching significantly improved the early-season soil thermal environment compared to no mulching. Crucially, film mulching substantially enhanced DMP and multifunctional water WP without increasing seasonal ETc act. White film, in particular, achieved the highest DMP and water productivity metrics among all treatments. The 170 kg N ha⁻¹ controlled-release urea fertilization maintained yield while reducing N input by 37 %, decreasing soil nitrate N accumulation by over 60 %, and enhancing partial factor productivity of N (PFPN). Structural equation modeling indicated that improving soil hydrothermal conditions and regulating evapotranspiration were key factors associated with synergistic improvements in WP and PFPN. The combination of white film mulching and reduced-dose controlled-release urea (170 kg N ha⁻¹) offers an effective strategy to enhance WP and support yield stability in water-limited agroecosystems. These results provide a practical management strategy for sustainable agricultural intensification in semi-arid, rainfed agroecosystems.
提高农业生态系统的可持续性需要优化水和氮的利用效率,同时尽量减少对环境的影响。在中国黄土高原进行了为期两年的实地研究(2022-2023),研究了三种覆盖方式(黑膜、白膜和不覆盖)与四种氮素管理策略(常规尿素270 kg N ha⁻¹,优化尿素200 kg N ha⁻¹,控释尿素170和140 kg N ha⁻¹)对土壤热液动力学、总干物质产量(DMP)、蒸散发(ETc act)、水分生产力(WP)和氮利用效率的影响。与不覆盖相比,覆盖白膜显著改善了季前土壤热环境。重要的是,覆膜显著提高了DMP和多功能水WP,而不增加季节性ETc行为。在所有处理中,白膜的DMP和水分生产力指标达到最高。170 kg N ha⁻¹ 控释尿素在保持产量的同时,减少了37 %的N输入,减少了60 %以上的土壤硝态氮积累,提高了N的部分要素生产率(PFPN)。结构方程模型表明,改善土壤热液条件和调节土壤蒸散量是土壤水分和土壤养分协同改善的关键因素。白膜覆盖与减少剂量控释尿素(170 kg N ha⁻1)相结合,是在水资源有限的农业生态系统中提高WP和支持产量稳定的有效策略。这些结果为半干旱、雨养农业生态系统的可持续农业集约化提供了切实可行的管理策略。

Understanding microbial transport in the vadose zone under transient flow conditions (such as irrigation and rainfall) is crucial for quantifying soil microbial behaviors, regulating the microbe-mediated belowground processes, and reducing the spread of pathogenic bacteria in soil environment. In this study, we investigated the impact of transient flow on the co-transport of a model bacterium (E. coli 652T7) and a model virus (MS2) in unsaturated soils. More E. coli 652T7 and MS2 broke through the soil under the transient flow condition than under the steady-state flow conditions. At low ionic strength (5 mM), the facilitating transient flow effect was 1.5 times larger for the microsized E. coli 652T7 than for the nanosized MS2 in terms of the maximum relative concentrations of the microorganisms in the effluent. However, this particle size dependent effect of transient flow diminished after the solution ionic strength increased from 5 mM to 20 mM with the increased size of the microorganisms (from 0.74 ± 0.09 µm to 1.54 ± 0.19 µm for E. coli 652T7 and from 0.28 ± 0.09 µm to 0.54 ± 0.09 µm for MS2). This result is attributed to the counteracting effects of electrostatic forces (increasing microbial retention as ionic strength increases) and hydrodynamic forces (decreasing microbial retention due to scouring by mobile air-water interfaces). In addition, the transient flow facilitated transport was 1.8 times larger for the aggregated MS2 under 20 mM than the non-aggregated MS2 under 5 mM. The data indicate that the mobility of colloids with size of 560 nm is most sensitive to the change in hydrodynamic forces. Our research results imply that wetting and drying cycles could significantly change the spatial patterns of microbial community in soils.
了解瞬态流动条件下(如灌溉和降雨)渗透带中微生物的迁移对于定量土壤微生物行为、调控微生物介导的地下过程以及减少病原菌在土壤环境中的传播具有重要意义。在这项研究中,我们研究了瞬时流动对模型细菌(大肠杆菌652T7)和模型病毒(MS2)在非饱和土壤中共转运的影响。瞬态流动条件下,大肠杆菌652T7和MS2突破土壤的数量大于稳态流动条件下。在低离子强度(5 mM)条件下,微尺寸大肠杆菌652T7的瞬态流动促进效应是纳米尺寸MS2的1.5倍。然而,这种粒子大小依赖效应后的瞬变流动减少溶液离子强度从5 毫米增加到20 毫米大小的增加微生物(从0.74 ±0.09   1.54µm±0.19  从0.28µm为大肠杆菌652 t7和 ±0.09   0.54µm±0.09  µm一份)。这一结果归因于静电力(随着离子强度的增加而增加微生物保留率)和水动力(由于流动的空气-水界面冲刷而减少微生物保留率)的抵消作用。此外,20 mM以下聚集的MS2的瞬态流动促进输运比5 mM以下未聚集的MS2大1.8倍。结果表明,粒径为560 nm的胶体的流动性对水动力的变化最为敏感。研究结果表明,干湿循环能显著改变土壤微生物群落的空间格局。

An accurate quantification of forest vertical transpiration (T) is essential for sustainable forestry in water-limited areas. This study established 72 temporary plots of larch plantations to characterise the site and vegetation attributes (i.e., elevation, slope aspect, stand age, and stand density) and to measure the stratified (i.e., tree layer, shrub layer, and herb layer) leaf area index (LAI). Additionally, three permanent plots were established to monitor stratified transpiration during the growing season of 2021 and 2022, together with reference evapotranspiration (ETo), relative soil water content (RSWC), and LAIs of each vertical layer. The results showed that the developed stratified LAI models, coupling elevation, slope aspect, age, density, and upper shading, could effectively capture layer relationships and site-stand influences. Accordingly, stratified T models incorporating these LAI effects were further developed. Integrating these models enabled quantification of vertical stand structure effects on T. Simulations across three permanent plots with varying site and vegetation characteristics revealed that maintaining an identical stand T (e.g., 0.8 mm·d−1) required different stand densities across plots due to divergent site and stand attributes. Under climate change (e.g., 15 % ETo rise), site-specific LAI stratification became essential to maintain the target T. Although a 31 %–32 %, 27 %–28 %, and 15 %–16 % reduction in stand density achieved LAI control under current, 25 % reduced, and 50 % reduced soil water conditions, respectively, the optimal vertical distribution of LAI still varied significantly across plots, underscoring the need for precise, location-specific management strategies. This study elucidates how dynamics of vertical stand structure modulate forest transpiration under different site/vegetation conditions and provides a theoretical basis for the site- and stand-specific forest-water management.
森林垂直蒸腾(T)的准确量化对缺水地区的可持续林业至关重要。本研究建立了72个落叶松人工林临时样地,对立地和植被属性(高程、坡向、林龄和林分密度)进行了表征,并测量了分层(乔木层、灌木层和草本层)叶面积指数(LAI)。此外,还建立了3个永久样地,监测2021年和2022年生长季的分层蒸腾,以及各垂直层的参考蒸散发(ETo)、土壤相对含水量(RSWC)和LAIs。结果表明:所建立的层状LAI模型耦合了高程、坡向、年龄、密度和上层遮阳,能够有效地捕捉层间关系和立地影响。因此,进一步发展了包含这些LAI效应的分层T模型。整合这些模型可以量化垂直林分结构对T的影响。对三个具有不同立地和植被特征的永久样地的模拟表明,由于立地和林分属性的差异,保持相同的林分T(如0.8 mm·d−1)需要不同的林分密度。下气候变化(如15 %埃托奥上升),特定站点赖分层成为基本保持目标t .尽管31 % -32 %,27个 % -28 % 15 % -16 %减少赖在林分密度控制在目前,25 %减少到50 %降低土壤水分条件下,分别的最佳垂直分布仍然赖在情节之间存在着显著的差异,强调需要精确、具体地点的管理策略。本研究阐明了不同立地/植被条件下垂直林分结构动态对森林蒸腾的调节作用,为立地/林分森林水分管理提供了理论依据。

Accurate and timely monitoring of crop water stress is essential for efficient agricultural water management, ultimately maintaining and improving crop productivity. While Landsat has been used for this purpose, its temporal resolution hampers timely detection of crop water stress. The recently released Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 Version 2.0 dataset, which enables a higher-frequency time series of satellite observations (2–3 days, 30 m), offers a promising solution to this challenge. However, its potential for crop stress monitoring remained unexplored. In this study, we utilized 923 HLS satellite tiles to assess crop water stress across the contiguous United States (CONUS). Crop water stress was monitored by analyzing normalized difference moisture index (NDMI) time series through applying the Breaks For Additive Season and Trend Monitor (BFAST monitor) and random forest models. We used HLS data from 2016 to 2019 as the historical period, and data from 2020, a year marked by intense droughts, as the monitoring period. We used stratified random points interpreted from Standardized Precipitation Index based drought products to validate the crop water stress alerts. Our results show that HLS data enables near-real-time alerts of crop water stress with an overall accuracy of water stress of 74.0 % and kappa coefficient of 0.48. We mapped approximately 12.3 Mha of water-stressed crops across the CONUS from March to August 2020, identifying around 3.8 million crop water stress events. Among these events, nearly 41.8 % affected areas smaller than 0.5 ha. Major crop water stress events (≥ 5 ha) were the least frequent, making up 10.0 % of events, yet they dominated in terms of area, affecting 74.2 % of the total mapped extent. For temporal accuracy, the mean time lag of detected crop water stress across the CONUS using HLS data is approximately 9 days. Our detected crop water stress demonstrates the feasibility of HLS data for providing timely crop water stress monitoring at a national scale.

准确和及时地监测作物水分胁迫对于有效的农业水资源管理,最终保持和提高作物生产力至关重要。虽然Landsat已被用于这一目的,但其时间分辨率妨碍了及时检测作物水分胁迫。最近发布的Harmonized Landsat和Sentinel-2 2.0版本数据集实现了更高频率的卫星观测时间序列(2-3天,30 m),为这一挑战提供了一个有希望的解决方案。然而,它在作物胁迫监测方面的潜力仍未得到开发。在这项研究中,我们利用923个HLS卫星瓦片来评估美国相邻地区(CONUS)的作物水分胁迫。采用BFAST (breaksforadditive Season and Trend Monitor)和随机森林模型,分析归一化水分指数(NDMI)时间序列,对作物水分胁迫进行监测。我们将2016年至2019年的HLS数据作为历史时期,并将2020年的数据作为监测时期,这一年是严重干旱的一年。我们使用基于标准化降水指数的干旱产品解释的分层随机点来验证作物水分胁迫警报。结果表明,HLS数据能够实现作物水分胁迫的近实时预警,水分胁迫的总体精度为74.0 %,kappa系数为0.48。从2020年3月到8月,我们绘制了大约1230万公顷的缺水作物分布图,确定了大约380万次作物水分胁迫事件。在这些事件中,近41.8% %的影响面积小于0.5 ha。主要作物水分胁迫事件(≥5 ha)发生频率最低,占10.0 %,但在面积上占主导地位,影响总面积的74.2 %。在时间精度方面,使用HLS数据检测作物水分胁迫的平均滞后时间约为9天。我们检测到的作物水分胁迫证明了HLS数据在全国范围内提供及时的作物水分胁迫监测的可行性。这凸显了基于hls的监测在为精准灌溉提供信息和支持可持续农业水资源管理方面的潜力。

Improving water productivity (WP) is critical for maize production. Delaying the application of plant growth retardants (PGRs) from V7 (7th leaf collar visible) to V14 can simultaneously enhance maize yield and lodging resistance. However, the effects of delaying PGRs on maize WP are still unclear. A three-year field experiment was conducted by applying EC (a mixture of ethephon and cycocel) at V7 (TV7) and V14 (TV14), respectively, to clarify the effects of EC on plant architecture, root system architecture, water consumption, and yield in maize. Over three years, TV7 significantly reduced plant height, ear height, and leaf area index (LAI), while TV14 only significantly reduced plant height but almost did not reduce ear height or LAI. Specially, TV7 mainly reduced the area of functional leaves that were around ear, which resulted in lower biomass and yield. In contrast, TV14 shortened the distance between upper leaves and ear, which increased proportion of assimilates partitioned to grains (15.76 %) and grain yield (20.92 %) compared with CK. Additionally, both TV7 and TV14 promoted root growth, showing higher root length, root surface area, especially for TV7. However, the increased root did not increase maize evapotranspiration. Partial least squares analysis and correlation analysis demonstrated that reduced LAI was beneficial to reducing water consumption during the maize growth period. Finally, WP was increased by 24.88 % under TV14 compared with CK. Collectively, these findings provided a pathway to improve maize yield and WP simultaneously.
提高水分生产力对玉米生产至关重要。将植物生长抑制剂(pgr)从V7(第7叶颈可见)延迟施用到V14可以同时提高玉米产量和抗倒伏能力。然而,延迟pgr对玉米WP的影响尚不清楚。通过在玉米V7 (TV7)和V14 (TV14)分别施用乙烯利和环己烷(乙烯利和环己烷的混合物)3年的田间试验,研究了乙烯利和环己烷对玉米植株构型、根系构型、耗水量和产量的影响。3年内,TV7显著降低了株高、穗高和叶面积指数(LAI),而TV14仅显著降低了株高,但几乎没有降低穗高和LAI。其中,TV7主要减少了穗周功能叶的面积,导致生物量和产量下降。与对照相比,TV14缩短了上叶与穗间的距离,提高了同化物分配给籽粒的比例(15.76 %)和籽粒产量(20.92 %)。此外,TV7和TV14对根系生长均有促进作用,根长、根表面积均较大,其中TV7尤甚。然而,增加的根系并没有增加玉米的蒸散量。偏最小二乘分析和相关分析表明,降低LAI有利于减少玉米生育期的水分消耗。最后,与对照相比,TV14处理下WP提高了24.88 %。总之,这些发现为同时提高玉米产量和WP提供了一条途径。

The environmental impact of the UK fresh apple supply chain depends on the sourcing locations. This paper examines the contribution of production, storage, processing, and transport to evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and blue water scarcity footprint of the main sources of apple supply to the UK (2016 – 2025). Domestic production accounted for 38 % of supply, with imports from the rest of Europe (e.g. France, Italy, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, Spain) representing for 37 % and most of the remainder from southern hemisphere countries, such as South Africa (12 %), New Zealand (7 %) and Chile (5 %). Our results revealed that GHGE at the orchard stage for UK, European, and Chilean apples are similar. During postharvest, cold storage is the main contributor for GHGE, which were 40 % lower in northern hemisphere countries compared to maritime shipping stages for the southern hemisphere areas. Transport emissions are affected by international travel distances. South Africa and Spain presented the highest blue water consumption (BWC) as well as blue water scarcity footprint. We found that blue water scarcity footprints are negligible where apple production is rainfed. The results suggest that in order to mitigate GHGE, energy mixes need to be improved as well as cold storage technologies. For water footprint, implementing infrastructural changes is paramount. These results can help as decision making tool to define new sourcing strategies that can minimise environmental impacts. This assessment also highlights limitations in methodology, including inconsistent approaches in GHGE assessment, and underscores the need for standardised methodologies, emphasises the role of externalities, and highlights the importance of considering economic and social factors in assessing environmental trade-offs in apple supply chains.
英国新鲜苹果供应链对环境的影响取决于采购地点。本文考察了苹果的生产、储存、加工和运输对英国(2016 - 2025)主要苹果供应来源的温室气体排放(GHGE)和蓝水短缺足迹的贡献。国内生产占供应的38% %,从欧洲其他国家(如法国、意大利、德国、爱尔兰、荷兰、西班牙)进口占37% %,其余大部分来自南半球国家,如南非(12% %)、新西兰(7% %)和智利(5% %)。结果表明,英国苹果、欧洲苹果和智利苹果果园期的温室效应相似。在收获后,冷藏是温室气体排放的主要来源,与南半球地区的海运阶段相比,北半球国家的温室气体排放量低40% %。交通排放受到国际旅行距离的影响。南非和西班牙呈现出最高的蓝水消耗(BWC)和蓝水稀缺足迹。我们发现,在雨水灌溉苹果生产的地方,蓝水短缺的足迹可以忽略不计。研究结果表明,为了减少温室气体排放,需要改进能源结构和冷藏技术。就水足迹而言,实施基础设施改革至关重要。这些结果可以帮助作为决策制定工具来定义新的采购策略,从而最大限度地减少对环境的影响。该评估还强调了方法上的局限性,包括温室气体排放评估方法的不一致,并强调了标准化方法的必要性,强调了外部性的作用,并强调了在评估苹果供应链的环境权衡时考虑经济和社会因素的重要性。

Intercropping is widely recognized as an effective strategy for enhancing resource use efficiency and promoting agricultural sustainability. However, the synergistic effects of row configuration and nitrogen application on system productivity and resource use efficiency in maize/soybean intercropping system remain poorly understood. A two-year field experiment (2022–2023) was conducted to evaluate plant growth, grain yield, water, nitrogen and land use efficiencies, as well as economic profits of maize/soybean strip intercropping system in response to various row configurations (M2S2: two maize rows with two soybean rows, M2S4: two maize rows with four soybean rows, M4S4: four maize rows with four soybean rows, MM: maize monocropping, S: soybean monocropping) and maize nitrogen application levels (N0: 0 kg·ha−1, N1: 150 kg·ha−1, N2: 250 kg·ha−1). The results showed that M2S4 configuration effectively alleviated the shading stress on soybean and optimized canopy structure, while N1 enhanced biomass accumulation, stem strength, and lodging resistance, together maximizing intercropping advantages. Across all intercropping treatments, system yields increased by 7.16 %–23.36 % compared with monocropping. The highest yield was obtained under N1 + M2S2 (7647.66 kg·ha−1) in 2022, with N1 + M2S4 producing a slightly lower yield (7274.50 kg·ha−1), whereas N1 + M2S4 achieved the highest system yield in 2023 (7704.24 kg·ha−1). Although intercropping generally reduced water productivity relative to monocropping, optimization of row configuration effectively mitigated this effect. All intercropping patterns exhibited land equivalent ratios and water equivalent ratios greater than 1. Among treatments, N1 + M2S4 consistently performed best in terms of system yield, water productivity, nitrogen use efficiency, land equivalent ratio, and economic returns, indicating a strong synergy between spatial arrangement and nutrient management. Economically, N1 + M2S2 yielded the highest profit in 2022 (11,970.6 CNY·ha−1), only 4.4 % higher than that of N1 + M2S4, whereas N1 + M2S4 generated the maximum profit in 2023 (13,395.58 CNY·ha−1), demonstrating its stable economic advantage. Overall, considering productivity, resource use efficiency, economic returns and mechanization feasibility, N1 + M2S4 was identified as the optimal strategy for sustainable maize/soybean intercropping production on the Loess Plateau of China.
间作是公认的提高资源利用效率和促进农业可持续发展的有效策略。然而,行距和施氮对玉米/大豆间作系统生产力和资源利用效率的协同效应尚不清楚。通过为期2年(2022-2023)的田间试验,评价玉米/大豆带状间作系统在不同行距(M2S2: 2行玉米配2行大豆、M2S4: 2行玉米配4行大豆、M4S4: 4行玉米配4行大豆、MM:玉米单作、S:大豆单作)和玉米施氮水平(N0: 0 kg·ha−1,N1: 1)下的植株生长、产量、水氮和土地利用效率以及经济效益。150 kg·ha−1,N2: 250 kg·ha−1)。结果表明,M2S4配置有效缓解了大豆遮荫胁迫,优化了冠层结构,而N1配置提高了大豆生物量积累、茎强和抗倒伏能力,最大限度地发挥了间作优势。在所有间作处理中,系统产量比单作提高7.16 % -23.36 %。下获得最高产量N1 + M2S2(7647.66 公斤·公顷−1)2022年,N1 + M2S4生产产量略低(7274.50 公斤·哈−1),而N1 + M2S4实现系统最高产量为2023(7704.24 公斤·哈−1)。虽然间作相对于单作一般会降低水分生产力,但优化行配置有效地减轻了这种影响。所有间作模式的土地当量比和水分当量比均大于1。N1 + M2S4处理在系统产量、水分生产力、氮素利用效率、土地当量比和经济效益方面均表现最佳,表明空间安排与养分管理具有较强的协同效应。经济上,N1 + M2S2在2022年的利润最高(11970.6 CNY·ha−1),仅比N1 + M2S4高出4.4 %,而N1 + M2S4在2023年的利润最高(13395.58 CNY·ha−1),显示出稳定的经济优势。综合考虑生产力、资源利用效率、经济效益和机械化可行性,确定N1 + M2S4是黄土高原玉米/大豆间作可持续生产的最优策略。

Inefficient irrigation management leads to suboptimal water distribution, exacerbating inequities between upstream and downstream users and constrains agricultural productivity. We address this challenge by developing an optimization model to improve gate operations in the Talibon small reservoir irrigation system, Philippines. Using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), we simulate the hydrodynamics along the main canal and integrate it with SWMM5-EA, an evolutionary algorithm-based optimization tool, to determine optimal opening and closing of gates for equitable water allocation. The modeled traditional operation yielded excessive upstream withdrawals and downstream deficits. After optimizing the gate hours, the new operation reduced overall irrigation deficits by 89.7%, conserving about 1.95 million cubic meters of water by preventing over-irrigation. This study offers practitioners a scalable decision-support tool to balance equity and efficiency and determine the ideal operational management in the infrastructural modernization of irrigation systems.
低效的灌溉管理导致水资源分配不理想,加剧了上游和下游用户之间的不平等,并限制了农业生产力。我们通过开发优化模型来改善菲律宾塔利班小型水库灌溉系统的闸门操作来解决这一挑战。利用暴雨水管理模型(SWMM)模拟主渠道的水动力学,并将其与基于进化算法的优化工具SWMM5-EA相结合,以确定公平分配水的最佳开闸和闭闸。模拟的传统作业产生了过多的上游回采和下游亏损。优化闸门时间后,通过防止过度灌溉,总灌溉赤字减少了89.7%,节约用水约195万立方米。本研究为从业者提供了一个可扩展的决策支持工具,以平衡公平和效率,并确定灌溉系统基础设施现代化的理想运营管理。

The dual challenges of ensuring food security and achieving carbon neutrality are placing increasing pressure on the sustainability of agricultural development. Agriculture is a significant source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and irrigation and fertilization management are critical factors that influence GHG emissions from farmland. Thus, a field experiment was conducted for two years to evaluate the effects of drip irrigation and flood irrigation combined with different nitrogen application rates (N1: 120 kg ha−1, N2: 240 kg ha−1, and N3: 300 kg ha−1) on the wheat yield, GHG emissions, and net eco-economic benefits. Compared with flood irrigation, drip irrigation reduced the N2O and CO2 emission fluxes, and enhanced CH4 uptake, with only a marginal yield reduction. Economic analysis indicated that drip irrigation combined with N2 reduced the production inputs and carbon emission costs, improving the net eco-economic benefits. Under drip irrigation, moderate nitrogen application (240 kg ha−1) achieved the best balance among yield, emission reduction and economic benefits. These results highlight the potential of integrated water and nitrogen management for regulating soil conditions and microbial activity, thereby helping to reduce GHG emissions from farmland. These findings provide practical insights to facilitate the promotion of low-carbon agriculture practices, as well as a valuable reference for policy-making and decision-making under the goal of sustainable agricultural intensification. Future research should focus on long-term multi-site research and also consider soil carbon dynamics to refine farmland carbon footprint assessments and support carbon neutrality goals.
确保粮食安全和实现碳中和的双重挑战正在给农业发展的可持续性带来越来越大的压力。农业是全球温室气体排放的重要来源,灌溉和施肥管理是影响农田温室气体排放的关键因素。为此,通过2年的田间试验,评价了滴灌和洪灌配合不同施氮量(N1: 120 kg ha - 1、N2: 240 kg ha - 1和N3: 300 kg ha - 1)对小麦产量、温室气体排放和净生态经济效益的影响。与漫灌相比,滴灌降低了N2O和CO2的排放通量,增加了CH4的吸收,但产量仅略有下降。经济分析表明,滴灌与N2结合降低了生产投入和碳排放成本,提高了净生态经济效益。滴灌条件下,适量施氮(240 kg ha−1)可达到产量、减排和经济效益的最佳平衡。这些结果强调了水氮综合管理在调节土壤条件和微生物活动方面的潜力,从而有助于减少农田温室气体排放。这些研究结果为促进低碳农业实践提供了实践见解,也为农业可持续集约化目标下的政策制定和决策提供了有价值的参考。未来的研究应侧重于长期的多站点研究,并考虑土壤碳动态,以完善农田碳足迹评估,支持碳中和目标。
