Background Soil salinity is heterogeneous, and within the root-zone of single plants the
salinity of the soil solution can vary widely. Scope This review shows that water uptake by …

An adsorption experiment and a pot experiment were executed in order to explore the
mechanisms by which biochar amendment in combination with reduced irrigation affects …

Salinity is a limiting factor that can affect plant growth and cause significant losses in
agricultural productivity. This study provides an insight about the viability of partial root-zone …

Flooding and salinization triggered by storm surges threaten the survival of coastal forests.
The forest root zone (top 40 cm of soil) is the most affected by surge flooding. Determining …

Owing to the severe shortages of fresh water in arid and semi-arid areas, growers are forced
to apply deficit irrigation with fresh or saline water. To quantify the impacts of water deficit …

Cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) is a relatively salt-tolerant fruit
and vegetable widely planted worldwide. In this study, the growth and physiological …

Soil salinity is often heterogeneous, but plant response to uneven salt distributions in the
vertical direction (USDVD) of the root-zone under buried straw layer is seldom studied in …

Soil salinity is rarely uniform, but the understanding of the physiological responses of plants
to vertically heterogeneous salinity in the root zone is still limited. In the present study, pot …

RESUMO O uso de água salina na irrigação é um desafio para pesquisadores e produtores
rurais, sendo fundamental o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias para manejo da …

A split-root experiment was conducted to study the growth of the woody plant Lycium
chinense under non-uniform salinity conditions and investigate the growth, root distribution …
