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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
