Stochastic modeling of soil salinity [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2010
A minimalist stochastic model of primary soil salinity is proposed, in which the rate of soil salinization is determined by the balance between dry and wet salt deposition and the intermittent leaching events caused by rainfall events. The long term probability density functions of salt mass and concentration are found by reducing the coupled soil ...

Rationalizing mineral gypsum use through microbially enriched municipal solid waste compost for amelioration and regaining productivity potential of degraded alkali soils

Scientific Reports, 2023
Reclamation of alkali soils to harness their productivity potential is more complex due to the presence of excess sodium ions, poor hydraulic conductivity and infiltration rate, resulting in poor plant growth and crop productivity. Sodic soil reclamation

Elemental toxicities – adaptive traits governing waterlogging tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum) under sodic soils

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most intolerant crops to soil waterlogging, so to evaluate the response of 10 wheat varieties to waterlogging stress under sodic soils, a pot experiment was conducted during 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2014-15 at ICAR ...
