A team of researchers has developed an approach that maps the soil salt content around the world with an exceptional detail of 10 meters. This advance tackles the pressing need for accurate ...

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 ...

Across the planet, more than a billion hectares of farmland are quietly being poisoned by salt. As irrigation water ...

Soil salinization has long been recognized as one of the most stubborn threats to global agriculture, but a new analysis in Nature Food argues that the true price of salt in the world’s soils e ...

In its study, the SRDI recommended adopting improved crop and soil management practices, expanding salt-tolerant crop ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
