Phytoremediation of Sodic and Saline‐Sodic Soils

Abstract

Sodicity‐induced soil degradation is a major environmental constraint with severe negative impacts on agricultural productivity and sustainability in arid and semiarid regions. As an important category of salt‐affected soils, sodic soils are characterized by excess levels of sodium ions (Na+) in the soil solution phase as well as on the cation exchange complex, exhibiting unique structural problems as a result of certain physical processes …
