TL;DR: Sodic and saline-sodic soils occur within the boundaries of at least 75 countries, and their extent has increased steadily in several major irrigation schemes throughout the world as mentioned in this paper. But the use of these soils for crop production is on the increase as they are a valuable resource that cannot be neglected, especially in areas where significant investments have already been made in irrigation infrastructure.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current literature to establish basis or bases for organic matter accumulation in wetland soils and sediments is presented, where several hypotheses have been postulated to explain the accumulation of organic matter in submerged soils.

TL;DR: The literature on various physical, environmental, and chemical factors and their interactions on nitrification in soil is reviewed and discussed with examples from natural and agro-ecosystems as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This review assesses the current status of the understanding of the production and release of biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) and their potential in improving NUE in agriculture and genetically exploited to improve the BNI-capacity of major food- and feed-crops.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework utilizing a BNI-platform that integrates diverse crop science disciplines with ecological principles is presented, which illustrates the presence of detection methods for variation in physiological regulation of BNI function in field crops and pasture grasses and analyzes the potential for its genetic manipulation.
