Long-Term Minimum Tillage and Straw Retention Promote Macroaggregate Formation, Carbon and Nitrogen Sequestration under Wheat-Maize Rotation in Northern China

Conservation tillage is believed to promote soil aggregate stability, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sequestration, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, soil samples from an 18-year experiment including conventional tillage with straw removal (CT), deep scarification with straw...
