Ecosystem service function of green manure and its application in dryland agriculture of China

Dryland agriculture, with wide distribution and high yield potential, plays an important role in ensuring food security in China. It is currently limited by water scarcity, soil depletion, water and soil loss, and low non-renewable resource-use efficiency. Green manure has the potential to improve growth environment of crops and promote sustainable high-yield crops by increasing soil quality, balancing soil nutrients, and enhancing soil water-storage capacity. In addition, green manure has ecological benefits, including enhancing agroecosystem biodiversity, increasing soil surface cover degree, reducing ineffective nutrient loss to environment, improving air balance of farmland systems, and biological control of diseases, insect pests, and weeds. Under current scenario of intensified global climate change, environmental deterioration, and agricultural product demand changes, the traditional agronomic techniques of using green manure as a fertilizer cannot satisfy the requirements of agricultural development. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen the selection and bree-ding of green manure genetic resources for dryland agriculture, to develop a new regionalization of green manure, and to establish a cropping pattern based on green manure suitable for different regions. Furthermore, it is important to study and optimize the tillage and cultivation techniques to satisfy modern production and to establish an evaluation system for the comprehensive benefits of green manure. It is needed to establish a green manure application pattern that enables resource and ecological protection for improving ecological environment and economic efficiency of dryland agriculture and provides theoretical basis and technical support for exploiting green manure benefits.
