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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Coastal salinity is an increasing challenge in low-lying agricultural landscapes. Saltwater inundation (SWI) from tidal flooding can create obvious dead zones along field edges, but these visible ...

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.

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 ...
