Soil salinization and sodification are common processes that particularly characterize
drylands. These processes can be attributed either to natural conditions or anthropogenic …

Soil and water salinity and associated problems are a major challenge for global food
production. Strategies to cope with salinity include a better understanding of the impacts of …

Saline-alkali land, a precious candidate arable land resources, plays a critical role in
achieving agricultural sustainability. Drip irrigation (DI) is an effective method for …

Context Salt leaching has been widely applied to increase crop production in saline-alkaline
soils. However, leaching patterns affect the ionic composition of saline-alkaline soils and …

Saline water irrigation can change soil environment, which thereby influence soil microbial
process. Based on a field experiment, the shifts in soil microbial metabolic activities and …

Salinity leaching is necessary to sustain agricultural production in irrigated croplands.
Improving salinity leaching efficiency not only conserves water but also reduces …

Irrigation with brackish water is a possible solution to alleviate freshwater shortages in arid
and semi-arid regions. However, necessary measures need to be taken to leach …

Soil salinization is a severe problem in arid and semi-arid regions that substantially reduces
local agricultural productivity and poses long-term risks to sustainable food production …

Monitoring and map** soil salinity are valuable for irrigation management and
reclamation of salt-affected agricultural soils in arid and semi-arid regions. Proximal …

Climate change will cause an increased frequency and intensity of drought in irrigated arid-
zone agricultural areas resulting in a greater need for water conservation. Many water …
