Modeling salinity and sodicity risks under long-term irrigation with medium salinity water: Kinneret catchment as a case study

Agricultural Water Management
Climate change is intensifying droughts and reducing freshwater availability in arid, semi-arid, and Mediterranean regions. Agricultural areas within the Lake Kinneret basin (Israel) are currently irrigated with high-quality Dan Spring water; however ...

An alternative method to measure electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) in salt-affected soil extracts

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Soil degradation due to salts affects over 100 countries, especially in arid and semi-arid regions where salts migrate to the plant root zone via capillary action when evapotranspiration exceeds rainfall.

Microalgae Hybrid Biosystem for Enhanced Oral Delivery of Rifaximin in Hepatic Encephalopathy Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The microalgae‐nanoparticle hybrid system with antibacterial activity can improve the oral delivery and therapeutic efficiency for hepatic encephalopathy treatment. Oral administration of the system can reduced systemic ammonia levels, enhanced intestinal barrier function, attenuated systemic and neuroinflammation, ameliorated cognitive impairments ...

Effects of nano iron oxide powder and urban solid waste compost coated sulfur on chemical properties of a saline-sodic soil [PDF]

Desert, 2015
The main limiting factors in saline-sodic soils are high amounts of salts, low soil organic matter (SOM) and lowavailability of macro and micro-nutrients.

Alkaline Salt Tolerance of the Biomass Plant Arundo donax

Agronomy, 2022
Soil alkalinization and salinization have increased worldwide due to extreme and/or prolonged drought periods as well as insufficient irrigation. Since crops generally react to soil salinity and high pH with decreased yield, the cultivation of tolerant ...

Inhalable ROS‐Responsive Nanospray Activates PPAR‐γ to Restore Macrophage Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Attenuate Radiation‐Induced Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nebulized nanoassembly alleviates radiation‐induced lung injury by reprogramming macrophages through coordinated ROS scavenging, NAD+ replenishment, and PPAR‐γ activation. Redox balance, mitochondrial homeostasis, and immune regulation are restored, revealing a microenvironment‐centered strategy for localized radioprotection.

Screening of finger millet genotypes for sodicity tolerance using the Na+/K+ ratio as a major physiological trait [PDF]

, 2022
Sodicity affects a larger area than salinity, but research on the sodicity tolerance mechanism is limited. The study was carried out to screen 120 finger millet genotypes under sodic soil conditions and identify sodicity-tolerant genotypes.

Cobalt Single‐Atom Nanozyme for Enhanced Intestinal Radioprotection and Tumor Radiosensitization via Bidirectional ROS Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Orally administered, pH‐responsive Co‐SAN exerts dual functions: in the alkaline intestinal milieu, it scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppresses the PI3K/AKT pathway and NETs formation, thus providing radioprotection; whereas in the acidic tumor microenvironment, it generates ROS and alleviates hypoxia, thereby enhancing radiosensitization.

Organic matter, sodicity and soil structure

, 1998
Sodicity is generally associated with poor soil structure while, on the other hand, organic matter is generally associated with good soil structure.

DIFFERENTIAL SALT LOADING OF ON-SITE DRAINAGE WATER AND ASSOCIATED SALT BALANCE [PDF]

Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering, 2007
Monitoring of salt loading in soils and water is important to avoid salt accumulation and their subsequent degradation. A field experiment was implemented in two sites in the EL-Zagazig Country, each with workable subsurface drainage network.
