摘要： The staking (elevating creeping vines above the ground with poles) of yam is practiced to optimize crop yield, but its effect on soil loss due to crop harvesting (SLCH-soil adhering to harvested tubers) and its associated carbon loss has not been investigated globally. A 3-year field experiment was conducted to study the yam (Dioscorea rotundata) staking effect on SLCH and to examine the environmental effect of soil carbon loss. Staking reduced soil loss due to crop harvesting by 55.6% and increased yam yield by 33.3% when compared to un-staking. Soil carbon loss and root hair weight per tuber yield decreased by 47.7 and 58.4%, respectively, under staking compared with un-staking practices. The un-staking with higher moisture (similar or equal to 42%) exported two times more soil-available nutrients (N, P, K and Ca) than staking. SLCH was also linearly related to root hair weight (R-2 = 0.88-0.75; p < 0.05) and moisture content (R-2 = 0.79-0.63; p < 0.05). The lower ratio of root hair weight to tuber yield coupled with moderate mound moisture in staking neutralized its higher tuber yield effect on SLCH by reducing soil loss and its carbon loss. Thus, yam staking mitigates soil loss and its carbon loss which can increase the sequestration potential of soil carbon stock.
