The potential capability of substituting chemical fertilizers with crop straw and human-livestock-poultry manure in areas with different topographic characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Agricultural production and lifestyle are constrained by topography, causing notable under disparities in the composition, distribution, and environmental benefits of crop straw and human-livestock-poultry manure (CSHLPM) in areas with different topographic characteristics. Under the premise of the international consensus on sustainable development, it has become an objective requirement to improve the use of CSHLPM as fertilizer, and minimize the use of chemical fertilizers. Thus, an investigation was conducted to assess the difference in the quantity and composition of CSHLPM in plain, hill, and mountainous areas, taking Anhui Province of China as a case study, to evaluate the potential contribution of CSHLPM to farmland and identify the environmental benefits. The results show that the
