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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Soil salinization and alkalization pose significant global challenges, severely limiting the effective use of arable land and the improvement of agricultural productivity, which is critical for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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