Soil degradation is a critical challenge to global agricultural sustainability, driven by intensive land use, unsustainable farming practices, and climate change. Conventional soil monitoring techniques often rely on invasive sampling methods, which can be labor-intensive, disruptive, limited in spatial coverage. In contrast, non-invasive geophysical techniques, particularly ground-penetrating radar, have gained attention as tools for assessing properties.

Waterlogging is a major abiotic stress affecting plant growth and productivity. Regardless of rainfall or irrigated environments, plants frequently face waterlogging, which may range from short-term to prolonged durations. Excessive precipitation soil moisture disrupt crop growth, not because the water itself but due oxygen deficiency caused by saturation. This lack triggers cascade detrimental effects. Once becomes saturated, depletion leads anaerobic respiration in roots, weakening their respiratory processes. impacts morphology, metabolism, often increasing ethylene production impairing vital physiological functions. Plants respond waterlogging altering morphological structures, energy hormone synthesis, signal transduction pathways. paper synthesizes findings previous studies systematically analyze effects on yield, regulation, transduction, adaptive responses while exploring mechanisms underlying tolerance waterlogging. For instance, reduces yield disrupts key biochemical processes, such as synthesis nutrient absorption, leading deficiencies essential nutrients like potassium calcium. Under waterlogged conditions, exhibit changes, including formation adventitious roots development aeration tissues enhance transport. review also highlighted effective strategies improve Examples include strengthening field management practices, applying exogenous hormones 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), overexpressing specific genes (e.g., ZmEREB180 , HvERF2.11 RAP2.6L ), modifying root architecture. Lastly, we discuss future challenges propose directions for advancing research this field.
