Biogenic nitric oxide emission from saline sodic soils in a semiarid region, northeastern China: A laboratory study

Reclamation of Saline-sodic Soils under Rice-wheat Crop Rotation

A field experiment on a saline-sodic soil with pH 8.21-8.42, ECe 6.40-7.90 dSm and SAR 17.79-23.46mmolwas carried out using five soil reclaiming treatments viz., leaching (Control), Farm yard manure (FYM) @ 10 tons ha, Rice Husk (RH) @ 10 tons ha, FYM+RH @ 5+5 tons ha and Gypsum @ 100% soil requirement in a complete randomized block design with four replications. Rice variety SARSHAR and wheat ...

P-94: Male Infertility in China: Laboratory Finding for AZF Microdeletions and Chromosomal Abnormalities in Infertile Men from Northeastern China

Background: To investigate the frequencies of AZF microdeletions and chromosomal abnormalities in infertile men from Northeastern China. Moreover, to compare the prevalence of these abnormalities with other countries and regions in the world. Materials and Methods: 305 infertile men were enrolled. A complete semen analysis and reproductive hormones were measured according to standard methods. M...

Redox changes in a small wetland with potential acid sulfate, saline and sodic soils

The study site is a typical, perched wetland in a saline, sulfidic discharge area in the eastern Mt Lofty Ranges near Adelaide, South Australia. The wetland is part of the 10% of strongly waterlogged landscape identified by GIS analysis of a larger 80 km area. Approximately 40% of this area was identified as being poorly drained, but only a small proportion, less than 10%, supports wetland vege...

Element and mineral characterization of dust emission from the saline land at Songnen Plain, Northeastern China.

Recent observations of Asian dust storms show an eastern expansion of the source area to degraded lands, where dust emissions have been little studied. The dust concentrations over the saline land of the western Songnen Plain (SSL), Northeastern China, are circumstantially higher than those from the northwestern Chinese deserts. These concentrations are sensitive to the surface soil conditions ...
