Acid soils cover 3950 m ha, or one-third of the world’s ice-free territory. These soils are the product of either ustic or udic moisture regimes and are mostly found in two global regions. The northern belt (cold and moderate climate) is dominated by...
Salt marshes provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration1, coastal protection2, sea-level-rise (SLR) adaptation3 and recreation4. SLR5, storm events6, drainage7 and mangrove encroachment8 are known drivers of salt marsh loss. However, the glo
3.6. Salt-affected soils Salt-affected soils (Fig. 2), which include both saline soils and sodic soils, impact an estimated 1 billion ha of land, being most common in arid and semi-arid environments (FAO and ITPS, 2015). Depending upon the crop, extent of degradation, and other factors...
Africa is the second largest continent after Asia, having a larger than 30 million km2 area. Doubtlessly, one of the biggest ecological and societal proble
The anthropogenic salt cycle 31 October 2023 Introduction Solutes are among the most mobile and abundant materials in rivers and are vital to the health of freshwater ecosystems1,2,3. Conventionally, such solutes are dominated by calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+...
Per- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of emerging organic contaminants that have been used for decades in fire-fighting, metal plating, aviation, and photography. Due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, toxicity and globa
Marshes General marshes: in valleys and plains, coastal marshes, salt marshes, savannah and prairie marshes, etc. No distinct intra-annual wetness cycle, permanently moist but not necessarily water-saturated soils. Usually not forested; grasses, rushes and sedges, but also herbs and bushes; no ...

For (ii): matching sustainable practices to soil group and degradation status, two general soil categories have to be distinguished: mineral soils containing only a few percent of organic C, but which cover more than 90% of the landsurface, and organic soils that are rich in organic C, such...
