Abstract Summary

Strip tillage in maize fields enhances soil microbial diversity and alters community structure more than conventional rotary tillage, with fungi showing greater response than bacteria. This practice increases beneficial bacterial groups and promotes key soil functions including nitrification, denitrification, and sulfur cycling—offering a promising conservation strategy for sustainable agriculture.

Why Brain? 🧠

Strip-tillage enhances soil microbial diversity and improves nitrogen and sulfur cycling in black soil compared to conventional tillage, supporting sustainable conservation agriculture practices.
