Soils affected by salts can be described in two ways: by salinity classification or by potential crop response (Figure 1). Salinity classifications are based on the total accumulation of salts in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This week marked the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, highlighting the importance of accelerating progress to restore 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land around the world. The IAEA ...
