Coastal salinity is an increasing challenge in low-lying agricultural landscapes. Saltwater inundation (SWI) from tidal flooding can create obvious dead zones along field edges, but these visible ...

Notes: the subfigure shows an example of acidic soil areas defined by the World Reference Base for Soil Resources; the scatterplot shows the salt content of soil samples in five climate regions. A ...

A new global study shows that increasing soil salinity is systematically reshaping the storage and distribution of soil inorganic carbon (SIC), a key but often-overlooked part of terrestrial ...

Salination causes harvests to fail across the globe. Plants die, or their growth is stunted. Researchers of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) have discovered that a local regulator protein ...

Saltwater intrusion from sea level rise and tidal flooding is increasing soil salinity risks in coastal farm fields (Figure 1). Soil salinity is related to the presence of soluble salts and cations ...

Kurt Lawton, Contributor Tilling and planting through salt-crusted soils in hopes of gaining some yield is mostly a fool's errand, especially in the Dakotas. It just expands nonprofit acres. North ...

This week marked the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, highlighting the importance of accelerating progress to restore 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land around the world. The IAEA ...

Hyderabad: An ISRO-National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) study has combined satellite imagery, field-tested soil samples and ...

Multiomics approaches for understanding of the dynamic mechanisms of soil holobiont in mitigating salinity stress in plant hosts. PGPR = plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria; AMF = arbuscular ...

Saltwater is rapidly intruding into Bangladesh's southwestern region, with nearly 68 percent of cultivable land affected in 18 of 19 coastal districts, according to a new government study. Experts ...
