Researchers have identified naturally occurring soil bacteria that could help farmers protect crops from increasing soil ...

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 ...

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 ...

Having dry edible bean acres inundated by water is a common occurrence year in and year out in North Dakota and Minnesota, and as result, salts have risen to the surface creating saline soils. Tom ...

Globally, 932 million hectares of agricultural land – almost a fifth of the world’s total – are affected by soil salinity, out of which 62 million hectares of soil are irrigated. Soil salinity, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every day for the past 20 years, about 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid regions have been damaged by salinization. Soil salinity, made worse by the escalating impacts of climate ...
