英文摘要	Mulching and nitrogen (N) fertilization are the main drivers for sustainable crop production. The sole use of nitrogen fertilizer threatened both the physiology and production of maize in rain-fed areas. Therefore, we proposed that wheat straw mulching with N fertilization would increase maize yield by improving soil fertility, physiology, and nitrogen use efficiency. A two-year field study evaluated the effects of CK (control), N (nitrogen application at 172 kg ha-1), HS (half wheat straw mulch, 2500 kg ha-1), HS+N (half wheat straw, 2500 kg ha-1 plus 172 kg N ha-1), FS (full wheat straw, 5000 kg ha-1), and FS+N (full wheat straw, 5000 kg ha-1 plus 172 kg N ha-1) on maize growth, physiology, and biochemistry. Compared with the control, the FS+N treatment resulted in the increase of 56% photosynthetic efficiency, 9.6% nitrogen use efficiency, 60% nitrogen uptake, 80% soluble sugar, 59% starches, 48% biomass, and 29% grain yield of maize. In addition, the FS+N regime increased 47%, 42%, and 106% of soil organic carbon and available P and N content in comparison with the control. Maize grain and biomass yields were positively correlated with N uptake, photosynthesis, soil organic carbon, and soil available N and P contents. Conclusively, the use of wheat straw at 5000 kg ha-1, along with 172 kg N ha-1, is a promising option for building a sustainable wheat-maize cropping system to achieve optimal crop yield and improved plant and soil health in a semi-arid region of China.
