Sorption of dissolved organic matter in salt-affected soils: effect of salinity, sodicity and texture.

TLDR
The sorption of DOC (derived from mature wheat straw) was more strongly affected by SAR than by EC, andDOC sorption in salt-affected soil is more strongly controlled by CEC and Fe/Al concentration than by clay concentration per se except in sodic soils where DOC sorption is low due to the high sodium saturation of the exchange complex.

Saltwater intrusion induces shifts in soil microbial diversity and carbon use efficiency in a coastal grassland ecosystem

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the relationship between plant/microbial growth and carbon (C) storage along a natural salinity gradient and found that coastal flooding significantly reduced plant growth, increased soil C content and induced an increase in microbial CUE.

Saline and Sodic Ecosystems in the Changing World

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to recount the concept and classification of saline ecosystem, its global extent, and impact of changing climate on salinity and associated stress, effect of poor quality water on saliency development, changes in soil organic C (SOC) and nutrients in saline ecosystem.

Effects of the Release of Soil Organic Matter on Phenanthrene Sorption by Sediments.

TL;DR: By changing sediment characteristics and solution properties, the release of SOM significantly impacts polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) sorption behaviors, and results help clarify the transport of PAHs in sediment-water systems.

A Rapid and Simple Manifold to Study Exchangeable Cations and Cation Exchange Capacity in 24 Soil Samples Simultaneously

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the development and validation of a rapid and simple manifold for determination of exchangeable cations [calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K)] and cation exchange capacity in soil.
Book ChapterDOI

Soil Salinity and Microbes: Diversity, Ecology, and Biotechnological Potential

TL;DR: In this article, the adverse effects of salt stress on soil microbial activity and populations have been studied extensively, and the understanding of the adaptive properties of soil microbes makes it possible to use them in restoring abandoned salt-affected lands.

Organic matter and water-stable aggregates in soils

TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of various binding agents at different stages in the structural organization of aggregates is described and forms the basis of a model which illustrates the architecture of an aggregate.

Australian laboratory handbook of soil and water chemical methods.

Abstract: This handbook of chemical tests for diagnostic, agricultural, and environmental purposes promotes the use of consistent methods, procedures and terminologies in soil and land surveys undertaken throughout Australia. Soil and water chemical methods include sampling and sample preparation, and measuring electrical conductivity and pH. Soil analysis includes: chloride, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, gypsum, Other CABI sites 
