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 ...

A new study reveals that increasing soil salinity can significantly slow the aging of biochar, a widely used soil amendment, ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has developed an approach that maps the soil salt content around the world with an exceptional detail of 10 meters. This advance tackles the pressing need for accurate ...

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 ...

Saltwater intrusion from sea level rise and tidal flooding is increasing soil salinity risks in coastal farm fields (Figure 1). Soil salinity is related to the presence of soluble salts and cations ...

Bangladesh's miracle seeds were built for a climate that is hard to pin down. In some parts of the country’s coastal belt, salinity levels have surpassed three times the tolerable limit for agricultur ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
