Generally, even though it was not statistically significant, maize harvest index showed a decreasing trend with the increase in the density of intercropped faba bean plants possibly due to the decreased grain yield harvested as a result of increased inter-species competition. 3.2 Faba bean yield and yield components 3.2.1 Number of pods per plant The main effects of densities of faba bean as well as cropping year and cropping system were significant (p < 0.001) on the number of pods per plant (NPPP).

By comparing the N-form concentration values of the current study (8 years after the diversion of pollution sources) with the corresponding earlier values (Table 3 ), it was noticed that (1) NH 4 re-increased again after its recorded depletion (3 years after the diversion), but still lower than those values obtained in the 3rd period of rehabilitation); (2) DIN was showed a relatively same trend of NH 4 ; and (3) generally, there was a decreasing trend in TN content from the 3rd rehabilitation period till current period.

The results showed that the soil moisture content fluctuated, with a decreasing trend throughout the reproductive period, except during extreme weather events that caused significant increases or decreases in moisture content.

The results showed that compared with the BMSC-Exos group, the BMSC-Exos + TGF-β1 Inhibited group exhibited significantly reduced TGF-β1 mRNA expression ( P < 0.05), and the expression levels of downstream target genes (such as those indicative of Smad2/3 phosphorylation, inferred from related gene expression or subsequent protein assays) also showed a decreasing trend, indicating that P144 effectively inhibited the activity of this pathway (Fig. 6 ).
