Corn and soybean yield were assessed across natural gradients of soil salinity in sandy
loam and silty clay loam soils in the Northern Great Plains. Corn and soybean seeded to …

Phytotoxic soil salinity is a global problem, and in the northern Great Plains and western
Canada, salt accumulates on the surface of marine sediment soils with high water tables …

Although salinity and sodicity are worldwide problems, information on greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions from agricultural salt‐affected soils is scarce. The CO2–C and N2O–N …

Revegetation of saline–sodic soils is challenging. Over 10 million saline–sodic hectares are
intertwined with highly productive soils in the Northern Great Plains, with 3.4 million ha in …

Soil salinization may negatively affect microbial processes related to carbon dioxide (CO 2)
and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. A short-term laboratory incubation experiment was …

Screening new alternative vegetable oil sources as biodiesel feedstocks has attracted
worldwide attention as world oil reserves decline and environmental concerns increase …

Core Ideas Spring wheat response to sulfate‐based salinity stress was evaluated under
greenhouse and field conditions. Soil salinity was highly variable, both horizontally and …

Saline/sodic soils are often remediated by applying gypsum, improving drainage, and
irrigating with high quality water. However, these management approaches may not be …

We know numerous abiotic factors strongly influence crop plants. Yet we often know much
less about abiotic effects on closely interacting organisms including herbivorous insects …

One major soil health challenge of the Northern Great Plains of North America is the natural
occurrence of soluble salts in the soil. Salinity impacts on plant production are well …
