EJP SOIL - SoilsalAdapt Preadapting soil biology for increased tolerance to elevated salinities due to climate change

Salinization is a major cause of agricultural land degradation in arid areas, as well as in regions threatened by climate-driven sea level rise, where reduced crop yields are a common consequence. If soil as an ecosystem can "learn" to tolerate saline irrigation through the gradual adaptation of ...

FORURENS: Trace metals (Cd, Zn and Hg) in multiple stressed environments: effects on microbial communities and functions in soils

Water quality and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are profoundly affected by soil microbial functions. Surface soils are increasingly utilized for human purposes, which imply various stressors on the microbial communities. Sustaining vital soil functions is a crucial environmental ...
