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 ...

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 ...

Salination causes harvests to fail across the globe. Plants die, or their growth is stunted. Researchers of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) have discovered that a local regulator protein ...

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 ...

Salinisation of agricultural soils is a pervasive challenge that undermines crop yield, water quality and ecosystem health worldwide. Accumulation of soluble salts arises from natural processes, such ...

Warmer, drier weather is increasing the risk of soil salinity in UK farmland, with experts urging annual soil testing to ...

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 ...
