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.About:

Salt effects on the soil microbial decomposer community and their role in organic carbon cycling: A review
Kristin M. Rath,Johannes Rousk +1 more
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.

Salinity and bacterial diversity: to what extent does the concentration of salt affect the bacterial community in a saline soil?
Loredana Canfora,Giovanni Bacci,Giovanni Bacci,Flavia Pinzari,Giuseppe Lo Papa,Carmelo Dazzi,Anna Benedetti +6 more
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.

Adsorption-desorption behavior of dissolved organic carbon by soil clay fractions of varying mineralogy
Mandeep Singh,Binoy Sarkar,Binoy Sarkar,Bhabananda Biswas,Jock Churchman,Jock Churchman,Nanthi Bolan +6 more
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).

Role of the soil matrix and minerals in protecting natural organic materials against biological attack
Jeff Baldock,Jan O. Skjemstad +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the stabilisation of organic materials in soils by the soil matrix is a function of the chemical nature of the soil mineral fraction and the presence of multivalent cations.

The retention of organic matter in soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified soil factors that retard mineralization of C in soils from correlations of C contents of soils with other properties such as clay content and base status, and showed that the rate and extent of C mineralization depends on the chemistry of the added organic matter and interaction with clays of the microbial biomass and metabolites.

The capacity of soils to preserve organic C and N by their association with clay and silt particles
TL;DR: The finding of a given soil having a maximum capacity to preserve organic C and N will improve the estimations of the amounts of C andN that can become stabilized in soils.
