Alkaline and acidic soil constraints on iron accumulation by Rice cultivars in relation to several physio-biochemical parameters [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Agricultural production is severely limited by an iron deficiency. Alkaline soils increase iron deficiency in rice crops, consequently leading to nutrient deficiencies in humans.

Mitigating aluminum toxicity and promoting plant resilience in acidic soil with Penicillium olsonii TLL1 [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Aluminum (Al), prevalent in the crust of the Earth, jeopardizes plant health in acidic soils, hindering root growth and overall development. In this study, we first analysed the Al- and pH- tolerance of the Penicillium olsonii TLL1 strain (POT1; NRRL ...

Data validating the use of rubidium as a non-radioactive tracer for the localised proliferation of wheat roots in acidic or limed subsoil

Data in Brief, 2022
Existing technologies for lime (CaCO3) incorporation into acidic field soils result in the heterogeneous distribution of limed and acidic soil sections. In a study characterising the response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to the amendment of an acidic ...

Nestedness in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Communities along Soil pH Gradients in Early Primary Succession: Acid-Tolerant Fungi Are pH Generalists. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Soil acidity is a major constraint on plant productivity. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi support plant colonization in acidic soil, but soil acidity also constrains fungal growth and diversity.

Amelioration of acidic soil using fly Ash for Mine Revegetation in Post-Mining Land

International Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2022
This paper described the use of fly ash for soil amelioration of acidic soils to promote plant growth. In mining sites, acid sulfate soils/rocks, which contain sulfide minerals (e.g. pyrite FeS2), have appeared as a result of overburden excavation.

Impacts of urea and 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate on nitrification, targeted ammonia oxidizers, non-targeted nitrite oxidizers, and bacteria in two contrasting soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
This study explored the effects of combined urea and 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on several components critical to the soil system: net nitrification rates; communities of targeted ammonia oxidizers [ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria
