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 ...

PARK RIVER, N.D. — Fields with soil salinity, sodicity and high magnesium levels require management before they can be productive, said Naeem Kalwar, North Dakota State University Extension soils ...

Accurate assessment of soil salinity is critical for sustainable agriculture and food security, yet remains technically challenging at fine spatial scales. This study introduces an advanced ensemble ...

Many nutrients in soil exist as salts, soluble and available for plant uptake. But when salts accumulate in excess, crop growth can decline. With more frequent surface flooding in coastal fields and ...

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 ...

Soil salinization is a serious problem, especially in areas with less rainfall and increasingly arid climates. As climates change, flooding becomes more prevalent – another factor that leads to high ...

This story was originally published in Modern Farmer and is republished here as part of Covering Climate Now, a global journalism collaboration strengthening coverage of the climate crisis. Eerily ...

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 ...

Botanical sensors are turning greenery into living data networks while monitoring plant health and optimizing yields.

Eerily empty, abandoned fields stretch across the coast of the southeast United States, replacing once sprawling fields of golden wheat, corn and soybeans. For centuries, farmers have favored the rich ...
