Organisms around the globe are experiencing novel environments created by human activities. One such disturbance of growing concern is the salinization of freshwater habitats from the application of road deicing salts, which creates salinity levels not experienced within the recent evolutionary history of most freshwater organisms. Moreover, salinization can induce trophic cascades and alter th...

Salinity has plagued irrigated agriculture throughout history (Tanji, 1990), and soil salinization is an old–yet– new problem in arid regions. For example, there are approximately 100 million ha of salt–affected soils in China, accounting for one tenth of the total land area (Li, 2009). The development of effective salinity control practices requires an understanding of the causal relationship ...

Rising sea levels are expected to cause salinization in many historically low-salinity tidal wetlands. However, the response of soil extracellular enzyme activities wetlands and their links organic carbon (SOC) decomposition largely unknown. Here, we conducted a global meta-analysis examine effect on hydrolytic oxidative carbon-acquiring relationships with SOC storage The results showed that re...

Aim of the investigations was to study genes resistance salinization in sugar beet breeding materials. The experiment conducted using hybrids (Beta vulgaris L.): F119170 (VNIISS), Karioka, Mitika and Hamber (Lion Seeds), Lgovka (Lgovskaya OSS). Expression coding ascorbate peroxidase NHX-antiporter were studied. In work, specific primers used: APX, NHX1, NHX4.1, NHХ5.1 NHX5. Studying NHX4 NHX5 r...

Soil salt content is a key factor that determines soil chemical quality together with soil reaction, charge properties and nutrient reserves (Lal et al., 1999). An adequate salt supply is essential for an optimum development of photosynthetic mechanism and other biochemical processes in plants (Sitte et al., 1994). Soil salt content constitutes an environmental problem when salt accumulation ge...

A dynamic simulation model of salt accumulation on irrigated lands is presented. The original version of the model is part of a large-scale socio-economic model of irrigation-based regional development. The model introduced in this paper is a systemic one in the sense that it integrates four major sub-processes of rootzone salinization: irrigation, drainage, groundwater discharge and groundwate...

Soil salinization is a global problem that limits agricultural development and impacts human life. This study aimed to understand the dynamic changes in water and salinity in saline-alkali soil based on an indoor soil column simulation. We studied the changes in the water and salt contents of soils with different degrees of salinization under various irrigation conditions. The results showed th...
