Soils affected by salts can be described in two ways: by salinity classification or by potential crop response (Figure 1). Salinity classifications are based on the total accumulation of salts in the ...
Chinese scientists have identified a key gene involved in crop alkaline tolerance that may greatly improve crop yield in sodic environments through the use of genetic engineering. This study, led by ...
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 ...
