#Climatic projections indicate substantial impacts on #global #ecosystems , including reduced #crop #yields and escalated #soil #carbon depletion. The widespread adoption of returning crop residue to regulate soil properties and improve yields has been well-established. However, the long-term effects of #residue #return on soil organic carbon (#SOC ) and yield in film-mulched farmland, especially under future climate conditions, are not clear. To address this issue, in collaboration with Northwest A&F University we The UWA Institute of Agriculture The University of Western Australia, used the SPACSYS model which was calibrated with 5-year (2016-2020) field experiment data from various mulching and fertilization treatment in northwest China. Furthermore, we investigated the impact of climate change on SOC storage in 20 cm and maize yield with calibrated SPACSYS model driven by 27 #global #climate #models under two climate scenarios.
