To evaluate the role of green manure management in mitigating wind erosion, we compared four species—alfalfa, common vetch, oat, and rapeseed —under three stubble height treatments (0, 10, and 20 cm). Wind-eroded sediments were collected at four seasonal intervals from November 2024 to May 2025 and analyzed for particle-size distribution and nutrient contents. Results showed that a 20 cm stubble height reduced sediment yield by 40–47% compared with 0 cm, with alfalfa and oat providing the strongest protective effects. Increasing stubble height enhanced the proportion of coarse particles (>0.5 mm) while reducing fine fractions (<0.25 mm), thereby stabilizing soil structure. Nutrient losses exhibited species-specific patterns: legumes were more effective in conserving nitrogen and organic matter, while oats and rapeseed contributed more to phosphorus and potassium retention. These complementary roles among species, when paired with a 20 cm stubble height, suggest a synergistic approach to optimal erosion control.The findings offer both theoretical insights and practical recommendations for sustainable orchard management in arid regions.
