This study introduces an advanced mechanized approach to improve transverse trenching efficiency for 1 document Salix psammophila sand barrier applications in desert environments. By developing a layered discrete element model incorporating spherical, elongated, and prismatic particles, the research accurately captures the complex behavior of sandy soil under varying moisture and cohesion conditions. Using a Box–Behnken experimental design, optimal structural parameters—specifically a soil-cutting angle of 30° and a helix angle of 20.37°—were identified to enhance soil interaction and conveying performance. Further system-level optimization determined ideal operational conditions, significantly improving trenching depth, soil compactness, and insertion stability while reducing torque requirements. The findings establish a novel interaction mechanism between auger geometry and sandy soil dynamics, offering scalable, efficient solutions for mechanized desertification control.

Ms. Wenwen Zhang | Agriculture | Best Researcher Award

Lecturer | Henan Agricultural University | China

Dr. Wenwen Zhang, a lecturer at the College of Resources and Environment, Henan Agricultural University, is an accomplished researcher specializing in the bioremediation of degraded soils and soil nutrient resource management. Her scientific pursuits focus on enhancing soil fertility, promoting sustainable agricultural productivity, and mitigating environmental degradation through biological and ecological approaches. With a strong foundation in soil ecology and environmental sciences, Dr. Wenwen Zhang has led and participated in several funded research projects, including studies supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and provincial research initiatives. Her research has produced significant insights into the synergistic roles of earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in improving nitrogen use efficiency and soil health, as reflected in her publications in high-impact journals such as Applied Soil Ecology, Plant and Soil, and Journal of Integrative Agriculture. Beyond her research, she has contributed to academic resources through co-authoring books like Utilization of Agricultural Resources and Plant Protection and Advances in Soil Ecology. With 373 citations by 357 documents, 9 published papers, and an h-index of 7, she has made a measurable impact in her field. Her innovative work on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics particularly the role of straw incorporation in enhancing nitrogen sequestration and reducing nitrate leaching has advanced sustainable soil management strategies. By integrating ecological mechanisms with agricultural applications, Dr. Wenwen Zhang research supports the global pursuit of low-impact, climate-resilient farming systems, reinforcing her role as a key contributor to agricultural sustainability and environmental protection.
