“…Several investigators have reported that the soil thermal regime under crop residue mulch is different from that of bare soil, with soil temperatures often being lower under mulched surfaces than in Daily maximum and minimum soil temperatures at the 2.5-cm depth below bare (BS), horizontal mulch (HM) and vertical mulch (VM) surfaces (from Bristow, 1988) bare (or plowed) soils (Englehorn, 1946;McCalla and Duley, 1946;Verma and Kohnke, 1951;Jacks et al, 1955;Lemon, 1956;Borst and Mederski, 1957;McCalla and Army, 1961;Unger, 1978;Gupta et al, 1983;Bristow, 1988;Unger, 1988 Bristow (1988) studied bare soil (BS), vertical mulch (VM), and horizontal mulch (HM) treatments, and found that soil water dominated the energy exchange process at the soil surface, and that it was only when the soils began to dry that significant differences in soil temperatures became evident. After several dry days, the HM treatment soil was 10 °C cooler than the bare soil surface; the VM soil was 7 °C cooler (Fig.…”

Crop residues alter the surface properties of soils. Both shortwave albedo and longwave emissivity are affected. These are linked to an effect of residue on surface evaporation and water content. Water content influences soil physical properties and surface energy partitioning. In summary, crop residue acts to soil as clothing acts to skin. Compared to bare soil, crop residues can reduce extremes of heat and mass fluxes at the soil surface. Managing crop residues can result in more favorable agronomic soil conditions. This paper reviews research results of the quantity, quality, architecture, and surface distribution of crop residues on soil surface radiation and energy balances, soil water content, and soil temperature.

“…Effects of SA on the dynamics of soil water, runoff, infiltration, soil temperature, nutrients and soil water use and productivity are contradictory because of soil characteristics, climate and crop and soil management practices which vary enormously [9,[12][13][14]. Generally, residue incorporation reduces surface runoff, increases SM, crop transpiration and WUE (crop water use efficiency), and decreases ST; the extent to which this happens is mainly determined by the growth stage and the amount of residue returned to the soil [9,[16][17][18][19]. Furthermore, intensified straw application significantly reduces evapotranspiration at the grain-filling to the maturity stages, and significantly increases surface SM at the grain-filling stage and considerably improves rainfall-use efficiency (RUE) during the whole growth period [20].…”

Straw amendment (SA) can be used to increase soil organic matter and decrease dioxide carbon emissions. However, the impact of SA on the crop yield is still subject to debate in different areas. In this study, soil temperature (ST), soil moisture (SM), soil bulk density, soil-available-nitrogen (AN), soil-available-phosphorus (AP), crop growth and yield were measured in SA and NSA (no straw amendment) at slope positions of a 130-m-long consecutive Mollisol slope during the maize (Zea mays) growth stages in the North Temperate Zone of China. Compared with NSA, the influence of SA on ST and SM was not consistent, while AN typically increased on the top slope. However, SA conventionally increased AP, increased daily ST and monthly ST (2.4-7.9%), and increased daily SM and monthly SM (2.1-12.5%) on the back slope. SA increased crop yield by 1-9.8% and 55.6-105.1% on the top and back slopes, respectively. At the bottom, SA conventionally decreased ST (0.20-1.48 • C in July and August), SM (3.5-29.6% from May to August), AN and AP, and decreased crop yield (4.1-30.6%). In conclusion, SA changed the equilibrium of ST and SM, influenced the dynamics of AN and AP on the consecutive slopes, and increased yield on both the top and back slopes but decreased yield at the bottom.

“…Plant growth is influenced by soil temperature and molsture, both of which are influenced by mulching. Several workers ( 6,11) found lower soil temperatures under straw mulch than for nonmulched areas, while Loupo found that mulches were most effective on sunny days. 3 In addition to conserving soil moisture, mulches increased water infiltration from 0.24 inch per hour on 6 bare cultivated soils to 0.74 inch on mulched soils (3).…”

Synopsis Moderation of soil temperature and conservation of soil moisture by straw, wood cellulose fibers, and sawdust resulted in quicker turf establishment than no mulch or elastomeric emulsion treatment of summer seedings of Kentucky 31 fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and Redtop. Irrigation improved all treatments, but was most beneficial to grasses mulched with straw, wood cellulose fibers, and sawdust.
