A group of researchers from the University of East Anglia, led by Chinese scientist Dr. Yanfen Zheng, has discovered a ...

Beneficial soil bacteria help crops survive salty soils by strengthening their roots - a new way to protect farmland from rising salinity.

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 ...

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

A new study reveals that increasing soil salinity can significantly slow the aging of biochar, a widely used soil amendment, while also suppressing the microbial communities that help drive its ...

The Lagos State government has intensified efforts to prevent soil salinisation to ensure hygienic growth of agricultural products across the state. The Commissioner, Ministry of Agriculture, Ms.

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that beneficial soil bacteria give plants an unexpected survival advantage in salty soils. Instead of helping plants keep salt out, the microbes stimulate the production of ...

Soil salinization poses a threat to global agricultural production, food security and sustainable development. Affected by China's population growth and social and economic development, China's arable ...

Salinity stress is one of the most critical environmental constraints to global agriculture, increasingly threatening crop yields in arid and semi-arid regions. This challenge has significant ...

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 ...
