The high-resolution global soil salinity map generated from this research provides an essential tool for scientists, policymakers, and farmers to address soil salinity issues effectively.
MODIS imagery was used as part of a study that also relied on soil samples from local fields to create detailed maps of salinity levels for approximately 300,000 hectares of the Red River Valley ...
The satellite carries an innovative sensor to image brightness temperature. As key observables, these images are used as input to derive global maps of soil moisture and ocean salinity.
Soils and Salinity Effects Salts are compounds formed when positively charged cations such as sodium (Na⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺) and potassium (K⁺) combine with negatively charged anions ...
Salinity, sodicity and soils that contain high exchangeable magnesium all appear as a white layer on top of the soil and result in crops not producing at all or in a yield reduction.
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 ...
Salinity has been an enemy of agriculture for millennia because even though many crops can withstand low to moderate salt concentrations in water and soil, high levels can reduce their yield or ...
SMOS, also known as ESA's Water Mission will make global observations of soil moisture over Earth's landmasses and salinity over the oceans.
The Soil Salinity map will help combat salinisation, the Land Use map will allow better decision-making on future land use, while the Hardpan Depth map will help identify areas for agriculture ...
Abu Dhabi: To celebrate World Soil Day, which falls on December 5 th every year, the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi today launched a plan to manage soil salinity in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which is ...
