The impact of agricultural farmland scale management on land yield: a perspective based on the adoption of agricultural machinery in different production links by Wenrui Zhang

“…IntroductionThe existing research on the relationship between farm size and land yield has been controversial because it fails to clarify the differences in factor substitution and technological progress across machinery technologies used in different production links.MethodsBased on micro-level farmer data from the 2020 China Rural Revitalization Survey (CRRS) database, this paper uses a stochastic Frontier model (SFM) to systematically analyze the impact of machinery technology at different production links on the relationship between the farm size and land yield of staple crops, revealing the significant role of technological progress in promoting the development of farmland scale management.ConclusionThe research results indicate that before incorporating machinery technology variables, there is an “inverse relationship” between the farm size and land yield for all three crops, meaning that the larger the farm size, the lower land yield. …”

Community structure and diversity of soil nematodes in different slope directions of wild cherry plum forests in Xinjiang, China by CAO Jing, CUI Dong, JIANG Zhicheng, YAN Jiangchao, WU Yunhao, LIU Junqi, GUO Jinfeng, HAN Yaxin, HAN Shutong

“…Among them, the number of nodes, edges, edge density, and connectivity of the nematode network in the semi shaded slope soil were the highest, indicating that in this habitat, the nematode collinear network was more complex and had a more stable food web structure inside. The linear regression model showed that the complexity of nematode networks was significantly positively correlated with external soil physicochemical factors (nitrate nitrogen and available phosphorus)(P<0.05), and there was also a significant positive correlation between soil nematode richness index and network complexity (P<0.01). …”
