摘要： No-tillage treatment, including no-tillage with straw retention (NTS) and without (NT), has been widely used as an ef-ficient and sustainable alternative to conventional tillage with straw retention (CTS) and without (CT) and greatly af-fects soil physical quality and organic matter dynamics in cropland ecosystems. Although some studies have reported the effects of NTS on soil aggregate stability and soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration, the underlying mechanisms of how soil aggregates, aggregate-associated SOC and total nitrogen (TN) respond to no-tillage remain unclear. Through a global meta-analysis of 91 studies in cropland ecosystems, we evaluated the effects of no-tillage on soil ag-gregates and their associated SOC and TN concentrations. On average, no-tillage treatment significantly decreased the proportions of microaggregates (MA) by 21.4 % (95 % CI, -25.5 to -17.3 %) and silt+clay size particles (SIC) by 24.1 (95 % CI, -30.9 to -17.0 %), and increased the proportions of large macroaggregate (LA) by 49.5 % (95 % CI, 36.7-63.0 %) and small macroaggregate (SA) by 6.1 % (95 % CI, 2.0-10.9 %) compared to those in conventional tillage. The SOC concentrations for all three aggregate sizes increased significantly with no tillage: for LA by 28.2 % (95 % CI, 18.8-39.5 %), SA by 18.0 % (95 % CI, 12.8-23.3 %), and MA by 9.1 % (95 % CI, 2.6-16.8 %). TN also in-creased significantly for all sizes with no tillage, with LA by 13.6 % (95 % CI, 8.6-17.6 %), SA by 11.0 % (95 % CI, 5.0-17.0 %), MA by 11.7 % (95 % CI, 7.0-16.4 %), and SIC by 7.6 % (95 % CI, 2.4-13.8 %). The magnitude of the no-tillage treatment effect on soil aggregation, aggregate-associated SOC and TN varied with the environmental and experimental conditions. The positive effect on the proportions of LA occurred with initial soil organic matter (SOM) content >10 g kg-1, whereas SOM <10 g kg-1 did not change significantly. Additionally, the effect size of NTS compared with CTS was lower than that of NT compared with CT. These findings suggest that NTS may promote phys-ically protective SOC accumulation through the formation of macroaggregates by reducing disturbance destruction and increasing plant-derived binding agents. The findings highlight that no-tillage may enhance the formation of soil aggregates and the associated SOC and TN concentrations in global cropland ecosystems.
