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 ...

Naturally occurring soil bacteria improved crop growth under salt stress by triggering lignin production in roots, revealing ...

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

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have helped uncover a hidden ally in the fight against one of agriculture's greatest threats—salty soil. Led by Chinese collaborator Dr. Yanfen Zheng, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
