Based on the North China Plain, a typical winter wheat-summer maize rotation system was selected by postdoctor Sun Xinzhan from Zhang Junling's research group and associate professor Zhang Jiangzhou from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University. The soil health index and microbial network of 0–15 and 15–30 cm wheat fields with different yields were introduced, and the health status of the top soil and deep soil were evaluated. The relationship between microbials and soil health was revealed, and suggestions were put forward to enhance soil health and improve wheat yield. Better measures were taken to manage farmland soil and achieve green and sustainable development of agriculture while increasing production.

MIT researchers developed a system that converts AI explanations into narrative text that can be more easily understood by users. This system could help people determine when to trust a model’s predictions.
