A new global study shows that increasing soil salinity is systematically reshaping the storage and distribution of soil ...

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 ...

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 ...

Soil salinization is a serious problem, especially in areas with less rainfall and increasingly arid climates. As climates change, flooding becomes more prevalent – another factor that leads to high ...

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 ...

Eerily empty, abandoned fields stretch across the coast of the southeast United States, replacing once sprawling fields of golden wheat, corn and soybeans. For centuries, farmers have favored the rich ...

A salt is a compound composed of positively and negatively charged ions (e.g., sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻)). While plants require soluble salts as nutrients, excessive amounts—referred to as soil ...

Growing demand for eco-conscious turf care and soil management highlights a shift toward sustainable materials and ...
