Abstract Soil salinity represents one of the major threats land degradation and desertification under arid semi-arid environments. It has an adverse influence on soil-water-plant relationships, posing serious challenges to agricultural productivity. The main objective this work was monitor effect farmyard manure (FYM) application irrigation with low-quality water dynamics dissolved salts yield ...

Trivalent Cr is one of the heavy metals that are difficult to be removed from soil using electrokinetic study because of its geochemical properties. High buffering capacity soil is expected to reduce the mobility of the trivalent Cr and subsequently reduce the remedial efficiency thereby complicating the remediation process. In this study, geochemical modeling and migration of trivalent Cr in s...

salinization and alkalization are the most problem in the arid and semi-arid regions, where precipitation is low than evapotranspiration. under such a climatic condition, soluble salts are accumulated in the soil, which cause lessening of the soil productivity and fertility. so, the identification of the salt affected areas is essential for sustainable soil management. the specific objective of...

Freshwater resources are scarce in desert regions. Highly saline groundwater of different salinity is being used to drip irrigate the Taklimakan Desert Highway Shelterbelt with a double-branch-pipe system controlling the irrigation cycles. In this study, to evaluate the dynamics of soil moisture and salinity under the current irrigation system, soil samples were collected to a 2-m depth in the ...
