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.

Salt effects on the soil microbial decomposer community and their role in organic carbon cycling: A review

TL;DR: A review of the available research on how salt affects decomposer microbial communities and carbon cycling in soil can be found in this paper, where the authors provide a brief overview and qualification of widely applied methods to assess microorganisms in soil to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salinity and bacterial diversity: to what extent does the concentration of salt affect the bacterial community in a saline soil?

TL;DR: It emerged that a patchy saline soil can not contain just a single microbial community selected to withstand extreme osmotic phenomena, but many communities that can be variously correlated to one or more environmental parameters.

Treated wastewater reuse for irrigation: Pros and cons

TL;DR: This review highlights growing water scarcity, the history of wastewater reuse in agriculture, and the limitations of existing studies, and takes an in-depth look at three broad areas: environmental impacts, public health impacts, and economic impacts.

Siderophore-Producing Rhizobacteria as a Promising Tool for Empowering Plants to Cope with Iron Limitation in Saline Soils: A Review

TL;DR: A critical overview of the combined effects of Fe limitation and soil salinization as challenges to modern agriculture is provided and some indirect evidence is summarized that argues in favour of siderophore-producing PGPR as biofertilization agents in salinized soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption-desorption behavior of dissolved organic carbon by soil clay fractions of varying mineralogy

TL;DR: In this article, a set of batch adsorption-desorption experiments were conducted using pedogenic clays extracted from soils dominated by kaolinite-illite (Kaol-Ill), smectite (Smec), and allophane (Allo).

The nature and kinetics of organic matter release from soil by salt solutions

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of dissolved salts on the amount and composition of organic matter (OM) released from soil columns was investigated in two surface soils from former wastewater infiltration sites were leached with solutions containing dissolved salts (NaH 2 PO 4, NaNO 3, CaCl 2 ) and by deionized water.

Dissolved organic carbon in forest floor leachates: simple degradation products or humic substances?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on whether dissolved organic carbon (DOC) mobilized in the forest floor can be already classified as humic material, and performed chemical structural studies of DOC fractions by degradative methods, CPMAS 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and pyrolysis-field ionization mass spectrometry.

Sorption of Organic Carbon Fractions by Spodosol Mineral Horizons

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sorption of hydrophilic and hydrophobic organic matter (OM) fractions on mineral soils of the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), New Hampshire.

The distribution of humic substances between the solid and aqueous phases of acid organic soils; a description based on humic heterogeneity and charge-dependent sorption equilibria

TL;DR: A mathematical version of the model, combined with an existing model of ion-binding by HS, can explain reasonably well the release of HS from agitated aqueous suspensions of organic soil samples.
