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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“Soil is the foundation of agriculture and the world’s farmers depend on soil to produce about 95% of the food we eat”, FAO Director-General QU Dongyu said. “Yet, our soils are at risk,” he stressed ...
