Worldwide, groundwater quality is in decline, growing progressively saltier [...]

Research on biosaline agriculture has been increasing worldwide in recent years. In this respect, the Iberian halophyte diversity present a high-value ecological solution to be implemented for biosaline-based agroecosystems. The research these halophytic species and, years, especially terms saline adaptation, osmophysiology and nutraceutical potential, highlighting importance potential of agros...

To feed the ever-increasing population under changing climate scenarios, it is imperative to investigate role of halophytes, which are equipped with special adaptation mechanisms cope extreme conditions salinity. In current review, we aimed report newly identified bioactive secondary metabolites that might play a in establishing rhizosphere microbe associations, elucidate negative impacts salt ...

The objective of this research was to define the potential brackish groundwater for 15 systems biosaline agriculture in a representative area Brazilian semi-arid region. study conducted using database State Ceará, with 6284 wells having water (EC ? 0.8 dS m?1 and discharge rate 0.5 m3 h?1). Our results show that resources depends on set data: (i) production system (crop salt tolerance demand) (...

Water is the fundamental molecule for life on Earth. Thus, the search for hibernating life-forms in waterless environments is an important research topic for astrobiology. To date, however, the organizational patterns containing microbial life in extremely dry places, such as the deserts of Earth, the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, or Mars analog regolith, have been poorly characterized. Here, we r...

Abstract Land salinization is a major obstacle to the sustainable development of agriculture in arid regions. The demand for food, fiber, fuel and fresh water has increased in the recent decades, particularly in developing nations, due to alarming rise in population. As fresh water resources and productive lands for crop production are limited, new strategies for the sustainable utilization of ...

The fresh water shortage in agriculture is an increasing problem worldwide, therefore the possibility of cultivating crops under saline conditions is of high importance. Crithmum maritimum, a halophytic plant naturally found on the rocky coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has a long history of human consumption and was recently suggested as a cash crop for biosaline agr...

Salinization is a global concern whose extent predicted to progressively increase over this century. In context, biosaline agriculture has been included in the set of climate-smart solutions support sustainable and resilient ecosystems. The Casuarinaceae family widely known for its intrinsic ability thrive under saline environments. Therefore, understanding mechanisms underlying salt-tolerance ...

Composting of waste plant materials and its use in agriculture and landscape sites is an environmental friendly way of reducing waste material and conserving the environment. In this perspectives a survey has been performed at the Dubai based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture to compost the plants based waste material (lawn cuttings-grass) to compost. The material was inoculated wi...
