The agricultural productivity of farmland in Northeast China’s Liaohe Plain is restricted by the salinity and sodicity soils, which have additionally low organic matter content. In order to improve saline–sodic amendments are frequently applied. Our objective was clarify how different affect diversity composition soil microbes, as well these factors related crop yield. 2020–2021, we conducted a...

Management of large volumes (60,000 ha-m) of co-production water associated with coal bed natural gas (CBNG) water extraction is a potential concern in the Powder River Basin (PRB) of Wyoming and Montana due to elevated water salinity and sodicity levels. Land application of saline-sodic CBNG water is a common water management method being practiced in the PRB, which can result in deterioration...

Yellow River sediment is the potential resource for saline–sodic soil reclamation. Experiments of one-dimensional columns were conducted to investigate upward and downward water transportation characteristics mixed with different addition (0, 10, 20 kg/m2 in top cm layer). The saturated hydraulic conductivity, ratio macroporosity, cumulative capillary adsorption infiltration rate all increased ...

Salinity of soil and water is the most important agricultural hazard in arid and semi-aridregions. In saline soils, yield production directly influences by soluble salts in the root zone aswell as by shallow water table depth. The first step for reclamation of such soils is reducingsalinity to optimum level by leaching. The objective of this study was to develop a practicalmodel to estimate wat...

This study was conducted to assess the influences of soil surface conditions and initial soil water content on water movement in unsaturated sodic soils of reclaimed coastal areas. Data was collected from column experiments in which two soils from a Chinese coastal area reclaimed in 2007 (Soil A, saline) and 1960 (Soil B, nonsaline) were used, with bulk densities of 1.4 or 1.5 g/cm(3). A 1D-inf...

Present study was carried out to assess the effects of soil salinity/sodicity on mineral nutrient status Urochondra setulosa, Leptochloa fusca and Sporobolus marginatus at ICAR- Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana during 2016–19. Treatments (pH ~ 9.5, pH 10, ECe 30 dS/m, 40 dS/m 50 dS/m) were created in microplots (2.5 m × 1.5 0.5 m) using saline/sodic water. Na+ Cl– conte...

Abstract We investigated the individual and synergistic impact of gypsum, elemental sulfur, vermicompost, biochar, microbial inoculation on soil health improvement in degrading calcareous saline-sodic soils. developed Linear nonlinear quantification frameworks to assess efficacy remedial practices. The combined inoculated chemical organic treatments; gypsum + vermicompost sulfur with 134% (0.29...
