The 6th International Conference on Agricultural and Biological Sciences (ABS 2020), was planned to be held in the People's Republic of China. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ABS 2020, "Agricultural and Biological Sciences: Plant, Soil, Animal, and Environment", was the first online conference in Agricultural and Biological Sciences history. Each paper addressed a slightly different topic and provided identifiable challenges and research key questions in agriculture, agronomy, food production and security, and environmental hazards. The role of Agricultural and Biological Sciences of China is the generation of research knowledge that influence everyday activities. There were 41 manuscripts submitted, of which 25 were accepted for publication. The research domains varied and included the role of specific plant on soil C-cycling, haploid induction, and natural doubling of Zea mays L.; plant species and soil rhizosphere microflora; forest tree biomass succession and dynamics relevant to C-sequestration; making sandy land agriculture friendly; plantation age on C, N, and P stoichiometry; codon uses pattern of Gnetum luofuoense C.Y. Cheng using transcriptome data; suitability of plant landscape unit and natural parks; regeneration protocol of Jatropha curcas L., etc. The purpose of this special section is to generate an improved communication among international scientists that we hope will lead to enhanced food security.

“…The experiment was conducted in the Fuxin Scientific Observation Station of Agricultural Environment and Cultivated Land Conservation, Ministry of Agriculture, in the Northwest Liaoning Province (42 • 06 N, 121 • 75 E, Shazalan Village, Fuxin Town, Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County, Fuxin City, Liaoning Province), which was affiliated to the Institute of Crop Cultivation and Farming System, Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The soil type in Fuxin City is mainly cinnamon soil, belonging to the transitional soil from the brown forest soil to the chestnut soil, which is neutral (surface layer) to slightly alkaline (bottom layer), low in soil porosity and soil infiltration, poor in soil water retention ability, low in organic matter content, and poor in vegetation coverage in whole areas [12]. The sloping farmlands in this area account for 41.69% of the total cultivated land area, most of which are gentle sloping farmlands with a slope between 5 • and 15 • , accounting for 78.26% of the total sloping farmlands area.…”

“…Among these measures, the ridge film and furrow seeding have been identified as particularly effective, especially in arid areas with low rainfall. This technique involves creating ridges and furrows in the land and planting crops in the furrows [12][13][14][15]. The ridge film and furrow seeding could quickly form a confluence, making the water stored in the root zone of the crops significantly improve the use efficiency of water and nutrients and further increasing the crops yield [16,17].…”

How to improve the utilizations of water and nutrient is a research hotspot of sloping farmland in semi-arid and rain-fed areas. In this study, the spatial changes of soil moisture, nutrients, and roots under different tillage modes, as well as the efficient utilization mechanism of soil moisture and nutrients from rain-fed maize on three mulching treatments (no surface covering, ridge film and straw mulch and ridge film mulch) and two slope treatments (5° slope and 10° slope) of sloping farmlands were studied at the Nationally Agricultural Environment Fuxin Observation and Experiment Station in China through a micro-zone simulation and a long-term positioning experiment. The results indicated that ridge film mulch and furrow seeding significantly improve the water use efficiency and partial factor productivity of the plants in sloping farmlands, with the highest increases being 51.33% and 45.05%. By analyzing the coordinated relationship between water, nutrients, and roots, it was found that ridge film furrow seeding technology can significantly affect the spatial distribution of water, nutrients, and roots in different soil layers, and improves the effective coefficient of soil water and nutrients. The effective coefficient of ridge film and straw treatment was 2.53, while the average value of the effective coefficient of ridge film treatment was 1.39. Further analysis found that the degree of consistency between the root system, water, and nutrient barycenter was highly correlated with the effective coefficients of water and nutrients. Visual radar map analysis revealed that root development limits the improvement availability of the efficient use of water and nutrients in the soil. Promoting root development indicators and root spatial distribution through ridge film coverage was an effective way to improve the efficient use of maize water and nutrients. The ridge film mulching promoted the root development index and root spatial distribution, thus improving the efficient use of water and nutrients in maize. Overall, the ranking of the regulation effect was as follows: ridge film and straw mulch > ridge film mulch > no mulch, and 5° slope > 10° slope. This research provided a theoretical basis for the enhancement of use efficiency in water and nutrients in sloping farmlands.

“…On the Loess Plateau in China, sloping land is the main type of cultivation land due to its topography. Owing to the influence of anthropogenic farming, the bare ground area is large, and under the impact of raindrops during the rainy season, the soil structure is more easily destroyed than that of other site types, resulting in a reduced soil infiltration capacity, increased runoff and enhanced soil erosion (Li et al, 2020; Wang, Ma, & Wu, 2017; Xin et al, 2020). Studies have indicated that approximately 60% of watershed runoff and sediment originates from sloping land due to natural and human factors, which seriously threatens the ecological environment and sustainable development of agriculture in the region (Keesstra et al, 2016; Wang, Dalabay, et al, 2017).…”

Effects of straw mixed mulch length and coverage on infiltration, soil and water loss of Loess Plateau slopes

To study the influence of the wheat straw length and mulching on soil erosion under mixed mulch application, indoor simulation experiments were adopted to study the characteristics of infiltration, runoff and sediment yield changes under a rainfall intensity of 90 mm hr−1. The results indicated that the length, coverage and interaction imposed significant effects on these variables. With increasing coverage, the infiltration exhibits a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The change trend of runoff and sediment is the opposite of the infiltration trend. When the length is less than or equal to 8–10 cm and the coverage is lower than 4.5 t hm−2, the sum of the length and coverage multiplied by the length and coverage attains a power function relationship with the slope infiltration rate. When the length is greater than or equal to 8–10 cm and the coverage is lower than 4.5 t hm−2, the sum of the length and coverage multiplied by the coverage divided by the length attains a power function relationship with slope infiltration rate. The reciprocal of these two variables attains a power function relationship with runoff and sediment yield. In this study, when the length ranged from 8–10 cm and the coverage was 3.5 t hm−2, the average infiltration rate was the highest, and the cumulative runoff and sediment yield were the lowest. Mixed straw mulching can effectively increase infiltration and reduce runoff and sediment yield, which is of great significance for the sustainable development of agriculture and ecology on slope farms.
