Soil salinization has become one of the major environmental and socioeconomic issues globally this is expected to be exacerbated further with projected climatic change. Determining how climate change influences dynamics naturally-occurring soil scarcely been addressed due highly complex processes influencing salinization. This paper sets out address long-standing challenge by developing data-driven models capable predicting primary (naturally-occurring) salinity its variations in world's drylands up year 2100 under changing climate. Analysis future predictions made here identifies dryland areas South America, southern western Australia, Mexico, southwest United States, Africa as hotspots. Conversely, we project a decrease northwest Horn Africa, Eastern Europe, Turkmenistan, west Kazakhstan response over same period. Excess salt accumulation root zone causes health, biodiversity food security. Authors used machine learning algorithms predict global scale 21st century.

ABSTRACT Today, soil metal pollution has become a significant environmental issue of great public concern. This is because both major sink for heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) released into the environment, by pedogenic and anthropogenic activities; also source food chain contamination mainly through plant uptake animal transfer. In addition, HM leads to negative impacts on characteristics function disturbing biological physiochemical properties (e.g. extreme pH, poor structure fertility lack microbial activity). eventually decreased crop production. Various remediation techniques have been successfully employed reduce risks associated with HMs efflux soil. Among these, use low-cost environmentally safe inorganic organic amendments in-situ immobilization increasingly popular. Immobilization agents reduced availability ions variety adsorption, complexation, precipitation, redox reactions. Soil can be nutrients thus act as conditioner, improving soil’s fertility, resulting in enhanced establishment contaminated soils. article critically reviews immobilizing agricultural mining soils paying particular attention chemistry effects common quality parameters.

Biochar is gaining significant attention due to its potential for carbon (C) sequestration, improvement of soil health, fertility enhancement, and crop productivity quality. In this review, we discuss the most common available techniques biochar production, main physiochemical properties biochar, effects on including physical, chemical, biological parameters quality fertility, nutrient leaching, salt stress, addition, impacts addition salt-affected heavy metal contaminated soils were also reviewed. An ample body literature supports idea that amended with has a high increase concomitant in structure, use efficiency (NUE), aeration, porosity, water-holding capacity (WHC), among other amendments. However, increases biochar-amended are frequently reported coarse-textured sandy compared fine-textured fertile soils. effect microbial community composition abundance. The negative polluted have plant growth yield components such as aggregation stability can be ameliorated by application biochar. Moreover, positive been observed when was applied organic inorganic amendments fertilizers. decrease nitrogen (N) leaching volatilization well NUE. some biomass activity reported.

Significance Land degradation due to soil salinization has detrimental impacts on vegetation, crops, and human livelihoods, leading a need for methodologically consistent analysis of the variability different aspects salt-affected soils. However, previous studies salinity issue have been primarily spatial localized, leaving large-scale spatiotemporal variations widely ignored. To address this gap, we present globally validated quantifying long-term (40 y) topsoil at high resolutions using machine-learning techniques. The results significant implications agroecological modelling, land assessment, crop growth simulation, sustainable water management.
