Abstract:
      A field experiment was conducted to explore the effects of strawdeep returning on soil structure and moisture in semiarid region of Northeast China. Results indicated a marked influence of straw deep returning on soil structure and moisture distribution. Soil bulk density of the control treatment of three-year returning was 1.34 g·cm-3. The average bulk density of each treatment was 1.34 g·cm-3. Soil bulk density decreased significantly, in particular >5 mm aggregate particles accounting for 18.69%~27.20%. Results revealed improved ability to resist external force damage, increased mean weight diameter and geometric and reduction of water-stable aggregates stability rate and soil structure breakage for the treatment of returning 800 kg·hm-2. In addition, soil water holding capacity was higher than the control treatment.
