Irrigation water salinity structures the bacterial communities of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera)-associated bulk soil

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The irrigation of date palms (Phoenix dactylifera) with saline groundwater is routinely practiced in the agroecosystems of arid environments because of freshwater scarcity. This leads to salts deposition in topsoil layers and increases soil salinization.
