In a pioneering study that explores innovative solutions for soil salinization, researchers are investigating the effects of subsurface organic fertilization on microbial necromass accumulation in ...

Researchers have identified two divergent adaptive responses to soil salinity in populations of the same wild species found in the Catalonia's coastal area, the Brassica fruticulosa, and have ...

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 ...

Coastal cropland across Delmarva is facing a growing challenge — saltwater intrusion and inundation (SWI). Tidal flooding and storm surges are pushing salty water onto field edges (inundation), while ...

Soils have a natural characteristic called the cation exchange capacity (CEC) that allows them to hold (and exchange) cations (e.g., Ca+2 or Na+). These cations are held tight enough on the CEC that ...

Salinization – the increasing amount of salt content in soil – contributes to land degradation, desertification and subsequently food insecurity. In the Middle East, the main constraint on ...

The Lagos State government has intensified efforts to prevent soil salinisation to ensure hygienic growth of agricultural products across the state. The Commissioner, Ministry of Agriculture, Ms.

By 2050, the world’s population will reach around 10 billion, and feeding everyone will be a major challenge. Drylands cover nearly half of the global land ...

This phenomenon is most notable in the Western part of the country where major irrigation schemes are located. Out of a total area of 140,000 hectares in this part of Algeria, 30% consists of very ...
