They include the cations Ca+2, Mg+2, K+ as well as the anions Cl–, SO4-2, B0, and NO3–. Other salts that contribute to soil salinity include Na+, CO3-2, and HCO3–. Typically, NO3– and K+ are not high ...

Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a strain of bacteria that ...

It will provide a new estimate on the areas of salt-affected soils in the world and introduce many innovative ideas and sustainable approaches to tackling the challenge posed by saline soils.

Different agricultural approaches are needed for three major soil types found in the country: saline soils in the north, black soils in the northeast, and red and yellow soils in the south.

Saltwater intrusion includes both surface and subsurface additions of saline water to the soil profile. This occurs on landscapes adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay and other brackish waters, including ...
