英文摘要	The ridge-furrow mulching system (RFMS) is widely used to improve crop yields and water use efficiency in arid and semi-arid rainfed agricultural regions. However, the effects of RFMS on hydrothermal states and maize (Zea mays L.) yields in dry sub-humid regions remain unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of ridge-furrow construction and plastic film mulching on soil moisture and temperature, evapotranspiration (ET), maize growth and yield, water use efficiency (WUE), and thermal time use efficiency (TUE) in dry sub-humid regions of the Loess Plateau. A three-year field study was conducted in which four different planting practices were evaluated: (1) alternating wide ridges and narrow furrows with film mulching (WRM), (2) alternating equal-width ridges and furrows with film mulching (ERM), (3) equal row spacing in flat plot with half film mulching (EFM), and (4) conventional flat plot without mulching (CK). The results demonstrated that at early maize growth stages, soil water storage within the 0-200 cm soil profile and soil temperatures were increased for mulching treatments compared with CK. RFMS utilized soil water efficiently by increasing rainwater harvesting efficiency and transpiration while decreasing soil evaporation. RFMS significantly increased soil temperature in the ridges by 4.0-4.4 degrees C and reduced diurnal soil temperature amplitude in the furrows, thereby increasing soil thermal time. These positive effects of RFMS compared with CK improved maize growth and crop yields because of adequate absorption and utilization of water and thermal resources. RFMS increased average maize yield by 24.9-32.8%, WUE by 34.1-45.7%, and TUE by 15.9-21.1%. The highest grain yield, WUE, and TUE were observed with WRM due to its favorable soil hydrothermal conditions. The WRM treatment is a promising water-saving and high-yielding maize cultivation practice to improve grain yields and resource use efficiency in dry sub-humid regions.
