While global food demand and world population are rapidly growing, land potential for
cropping is steadily declining due to various soil degradation processes, a major one of …

Soil salinization refers to the accumulation of water‐soluble salts in the upper part of the soil
profile. Excessive levels of soil salinity affects crop production, soil health, and ecosystem …

The projected intensification of agriculture to meet food targets of a rapidly growing world
population are likely to accentuate already acute problems of soil compaction and …

Cavernous weathering (cavernous rock decay) is a global phenomenon, which occurs in
porous rocks around the world. Although honeycombs and tafoni are considered to be the …

The application of biochar and compost is a promising alternative to recover salt-degraded
soils. However, in areas where the main source of salinity comes from the groundwater, it is …

Salt is a key solute in salt marshes and under the influence of evapotranspiration can
accumulate to a high concentration level in the marsh soil and precipitate in the solid form to …

Restricted by the development of the transient flow and solute reactive transport models for
unsaturated soil, empirical functions have been used previously to calculate the mass of …

Soil salinization in agricultural environments is a major soil degradation process, particularly
in dry regions. Soil salinization puts at risk the natural ecosystem and the agricultural crops …

Salt precipitation over porous media due to evaporation is known to affect various important
processes, including evaporation itself. Many studies have shown that salt crust precipitation …

Understanding the dynamics of precipitation and crystallization as salt solutions evaporate
from porous media is of importance in the context of preservation of historical monuments …
