Soil salinization has become a global problem that threatens farmland health and restricts
crop production. Salt-affected soils seriously restrict the development of agricultural, mainly …

Plants require the major macronutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for
normal growth and development. Their deficiency in soil directly affects vital cellular …

Abstract Background Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are beneficial microorganisms in
soil-plant interactions; however, the underlying mechanisms regarding their roles in …

One of the most important abiotic factors that hinder plant development, growth, and
production is salt stress. In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the biological …

Anthropogenic disturbances directly influence environmental processes and increase the
concentration of carbon (C) in the atmosphere. Here, we compare the differences in the …

Freshwater shortage and inadequate nutrient management are the two major challenges for
sustainable wheat production in arid agro-ecosystems. Relatively little is known about the …

Straw biochar amended soils reduce fertilizer losses and alleviate soil K-exhaustion, while
decrease grain yield due to its high pH. H 2 SO 4-modified biochar has been studied as a …

Soil salinization is one of the main abiotic stresses affecting cotton yield and planting area.
Potassium application has been proven to be an important strategy to reduce salt damage in …

Metalloid pollution, including arsenic poisoning, is a serious environmental issue, plaguing
plant productivity and quality of life worldwide. Biochar, a carbon-rich material, has been …

The excess of salts in soils causes stress in most plants, except for some halophytes that can
tolerate higher levels of salinity. The excess of Na+ generates an ionic imbalance, reducing …
