Abstract

Conservation tillage plays a positive role in restoring degraded cropland in terms of increasing carbon sequestration, improving soil aggregation, and maintaining crop productivity. Assessing the key indicators of environment, energy, and economy under different tillage practices could provide a comprehensive scientific basis to implement low-carbon emission, clean and sustainable agricultural management, especially in the long-term experiment field.
