Structural equation modeling showed that total organic carbon played an important role by increasing the soil’s ability to hold water, while changes in soil pH helped reduce the speed at which water ...

Leaching — applying extra water to flush salts below the root zone — is the most reliable way to reduce salinity. While it is ...

Soils lose moisture quickly during droughts because the molecular interactions that help retain water are not fully understood. Understanding this mechanism can help engineer soils to better preserve ...
