    Abstract With the dramatic increased use of agricultural film, the potential environmental risks associated with it have been receiving widespread attention. Biodegradable film (BF) is considered an alternative to conventional polyethylene film (PF), but its feasibility to replace PF needs to be verified. Thus, we conducted a two-year field experiment in the Loess Plateau region of China, exploring the effects of residual biodegradable film and polyethylene film (RBF and RPF) on soil moisture, maize root, and productivity at different residual levels (75 kg ha⁻¹, 150 kg ha⁻¹ and 300 kg ha⁻¹). Regardless of the residual film type, soil water content (SWC), root length density (RLD), and root surface area density (RSD) all decreased with increasing residual level; this phenomenon observed significant differences when the residual level exceeded 150 kg ha⁻¹. Different organs (root and shoot) of maize differed in their sensitivity and sensitivity period to residual film. The two-year degradation rate of RBF was 59.24%, which was higher than that of RPF. Compared to the RPF treatments, the SWC, RLD, RSD, biomass, and root–shoot ratio of the RBF treatments were closer to the no residual film treatment in the second maize growing season. After the two-year experiment, compared to the grain yield, water use efficiency, and precipitation use efficiency of the RPF treatments, that of the RBF treatments increased 0.41–6.24%, 0.12–4.44%, and 0.41–06.24%. The application of BF to replace PF is beneficial to sustainable maize production in dryland, but finding efficient methods to recycle the residual film remains a priority.

    Abstract It is widely known that root morphology has different response mechanisms at different phosphorus (P) levels. However, the effects of P application times on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root morphology and, therefore, on growth and nutrient uptake are still unclear. In this study, we investigated the feedback from the physiological indexes of wheat on different P application times after planting. Compared with the P application at planting, the shoot biomass with delayed P application for 21 days (d) increased by 11.8% (p < 0.05). Compared with the P application at planting, the shoot P uptake with delayed P application for 14–21 days increased by 38.4–71.2%, while the shoot N uptake and K uptake with delayed P application for 21 days increased by 16.0% and 14.1% (p < 0.05). Compared with the P application at planting, P use efficiency, N use efficiency, and K use efficiency with delayed P application for 21 days increased by 16.4%, 12.4%, and 12.4%. Delayed P application for 14–21 days promoted wheat shoot growth, nutrient (P, N, and K) uptake, and their use efficiencies. This is particularly important for optimizing the P fertilizer input and nutrient management for wheat growth.

    Abstract Global warming causes topsoil temperatures to increase, which potentially leads to maize yield loss. We explored the effects of soil warming/cooling on root-shoot growth and maize grain yields by performing pot experiments with a heat-sensitive maize hybrid (HS208) and a normal maize hybrid (SD609) in warm temperate climate in 2019 and 2020. Our results reveal, for the first time, differences in root characteristics, leaf photosynthetic physiology, and yield responses to soil warming and cooling between normal and heat-sensitive maize varieties under a warm temperate climate. Soil warming (+2 and 4 °C) inhibited whole root growth by decreasing root length, volume, and dry mass weight, which indirectly reduced leaf photosynthetic capacity and decreased grain yield/plant by 15.10-24.10% versus control plants exposed to ambient temperature. Soil cooling (-2 °C) promoted root growth and leaf photosynthesis, and significantly increased grain yield of HS208 by 12.61%, although no significant change was found with SD609. It can be seen that under unfavorable conditions of global warming, selection of excellent stress-resistant hybrids plays an important role in alleviating the soil heat stress of maize in warm temperate climate regions.

    Abstract Affected by climate warming, the impact of crop root zone warming (RZW) on maize seedling growth and nutrient uptake deserve attention. The characteristics of K uptake in maize under root zone warming and the combined impacts of potassium deficiency and RZW are still unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of RZW on potassium absorption and photosynthesis of maize seedlings under the difference in potassium. The results showed that RZW and low potassium treatment significantly affected root shoot development and photosynthetic physiological characteristics of maize seedlings. Moreover, the interaction of RZW and potassium content had striking influence on maize seedlings. Under the normal potassium with root zone medium temperature treatment, the development of maize was the most vigorous. Under the dual stress of high root zone temperature and low potassium, the root absorption area, total potassium content and root activity were significantly reduced, which then influenced the light energy use efficiency and dry matter accumulation. Securing the supply of potassium fertilizer under high root zone temperature stress is useful to alleviate the impact of high temperature stress.

    Abstract Transparent plastic film mulching (PFM) with flat cropping cultivation has been widely applied to grow maize (Zea mays L.) in dryland agricultural production areas of the Loess Plateau in China. However, with global warming-induced gradual increase in soil temperature, film-mulched spring maize experiences premature senescence and yield loss. In this study, a new form of mulching strategy involving dual mulching of transparent plastic film with whole maize stalks in a flat plot was established to improve growth and increase water use efficiency (WUE), precipitation use efficiency (PUE), and spring maize yield. The field experiment was conducted in 20 182 019, and 2020 on a conventional flat plot without mulching (CK), a flat plot with single transparent PFM, and a flat plot of transparent film mulching with whole maize stalks (PFM+ST) in the dryland of the Loess Plateau in China, to quantify the effects of different treatments on soil hydrothermal conditions, maize phenology, plant growth dynamics, WUE, PUE, and maize yield. Results demonstrated that soil water storage (SWS) at 0–100 cm soil layer in PFM and PFM+ST were significantly superior to those in CK, but SWS did not significantly differ between PFM and PFM+ST. Soil temperature under PFM+ST at 0–25 cm soil layer decreased by 1.2 ℃ compared with that under PFM during growth, especially in early growing seasons (20–60 days after sowing [DAS]). PFM+ST extended vegetative and reproductive growth periods by 1–2 and 6–7 days compared with those in PFM, respectively. In later growth period (80–120 DAS), PFM+ST increased the root dry matter weight, SPAD, and LAI and significantly increased the aboveground dry matter accumulation. PFM+ST significantly increased the 100-kernel dry weight, grain yield, WUE, and PUE. PFM+ST had 3-year average grain yields of 10.82% and 36.48% greater than PFM and CK, respectively. The corresponding WUE and in 0–200 cm soil layer improved by 12.55% and 39.84%, and PUE improved by 10.82% and 36.48%, respectively. With global warming, applying PFM+ST cultivation practice effectively extended growth period and increased mulching spring maize yield and WUE in the study site.

    Abstract Long‐term use of white plastic film mulching is an important reason for premature leaf senescence of spring mulch maize in the Weibei Plateau area of China. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of black plastic film mulching on leaf senescence characteristics and yield of spring maize. In 2017 and 2018, a field experiment was conducted in Changwu County, China. The experiments included three treatments: black film mulching (BFM), white plastic film mulching (WFM) and bare land (BL), and two varieties: Shandan 609 (green keeping variety sd609) and Shandan 902 (early maturing variety sd902). A split‐plot experimental design was used to research the effects of different mulching techniques on leaf protective enzyme activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, chlorophyll content of leaves as represented by the SPAD value, dry matter quality and yield of spring maize. The results indicated that the SPAD value, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity of maize leaves under the BFM treatment were significantly higher than that under the WFM or BL treatment. The MDA content was also lower than that in the WFM and BL treatments. There were differences in the degree of influence among the varieties. Compared with WFM and BL, BFM significantly increased aboveground biomass and yield of the two maize varieties. In the dryland area, which had intense light and high temperature, using BFM helped to slow down leaf senescence in the late maize stage and increase yield; it was especially effective for the early maturing maize variety.

    Abstract Nitrogen (N) is one of the important factors affecting maize root morphological construction and growth development. An association panel of 124 maize inbred lines was evaluated for root and shoot growth at seedling stage under normal N (CK) and low N (LN) treatments, using the paper culture method. Twenty traits were measured, including three shoot traits and seventeen root traits, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the Bayesian-information and Linkage-disequilibrium Iteratively Nested Keyway (BLINK) methods. The results showed that LN condition promoted the growth of the maize roots, and normal N promoted the growth of the shoots. A total of 185 significant SNPs were identified, including 27 SNPs for shoot traits and 158 SNPs for root traits. Four important candidate genes were identified. Under LN conditions, the candidate gene

    Abstract Temperature is a key factor in regulating and controlling several ecological processes. As there is a feedback relationship between many biogeochemical processes and climate change, their response to temperature changes is particularly important. Previously, a large volume of literature has extensively explored the impact of rising air temperature on shoot growth and maize yield, from enzymatic responses within the leaf to grain yield. As the global temperature continues to increase and the frequency, duration, and/or intensity of heat wave events increases, the soil temperature of the tilth is likely to rise sharply. As one of the most widely planted food crops in the world, maize may be subjected to additional soil temperature pressure. However, as a nutrient organ in direct contact with soil, the root plays a key role in adapting the whole plant to excessive soil temperature. Little research has been done on the effect of the soil microenvironment induced by higher soil temperature on maize root growth and root to shoot communication regulation. Therefore, this review summarizes (1) the effects of excessive soil temperature on the soil microenvironment, including soil respiration, microbial community composition, carbon mineralization, and enzyme activity; (2) the negative response of absorption of water and nutrients by roots and maize root-shoot growth to excessive soil temperature; and (3) potential cultivation strategies to improve maize yield, including improving tillage methods, adding biochar amendments, applying organic fertilizers, optimizing irrigation, and farmland mulching.
