“…Soil pH effects negatively on B availability. The B toxicity is a significant disorder, particularly on the soils of arid and semi-arid environments (Elbehiry et al, 2017). The Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L.) are amongst the most crops tolerant to B, while field beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are easily poisoned by B (Day and Ludeke, 1993).…”

S TRESSED environments have long been a question of great interest in a wide range of fields. So, many considerable literatures have grown up around this theme. In Egypt, there are several common problems related to the stressed environments. These stresses include decline of soil fertility, soil salinity and alkalinity, soil water logging, salt-affected soils, soil pollution, climate change, overpopulation growth, urban sprawl, land degradation, deterioration of natural resources, etc. More generally, national income will decline and will in turn result in the spread of social and political problems. Kafr El-Sheikh governorate can be considered one of the most important areas in Egypt, which calls "the governorate of the hope and the future" due to its location and wealths. Whereas, this governorate suffers from the most common stresses in Egypt including pollution, salinity, alkalinity and waterlogging. Great problems have been recorded in Kafr El-Sheikh related to stressed environments and suggested solutions also have been addressed. Therefore, a sustainable management should be adapted for overcoming these stressed environments in Kafr El-Sheikh.

“…The studies ofES, SQ, and SS are very rare in this significant area. Subsequently, there is an essential need for observation and monitoring studies such as spatial distribution to be initial steps for minimizing any environmental risks there (Elbehiry et al, 2017).…”

“…Fifty soil samples were obtained from topsoil horizons (0-20 cm) in the northern Nile Delta of Egypt, and the agricultural history of the region was investigated [34][35][36] (Figure 1). The goal was to obtain samples that differed in their physio-chemical properties such that they would provide a wide range of textures and P concentrations.…”

“…The goal was to obtain samples that differed in their physio-chemical properties such that they would provide a wide range of textures and P concentrations. The soils were collected from the same area as the studies by [34,35] because long-term inorganic P fertilization with different P inputs has occurred in this area since the 1970s. All sites have a semi-arid climate with annual mean precipitation of approximately 138 mm, mean maximum summer temperatures of about 38.9 • C, and minimum winter temperatures of 11.1 • C [23][24][25].…”

Soil phosphorus (P) is an essential element that is often limiting in ecosystems. Excessive use of P fertilizers has led to P loss from soil and introduction into the environment. However, the behavior and potential risk assessment of P in alkaline soils is not well studied. Therefore, soil sampling was performed in alkaline soils in the northern Nile Delta, Egypt. Three analytical procedures (i.e., Mehlich 3 (PM3), Olsen (POlsen), and Bray 1 (PBray) solutions) were used to evaluate P availability and potential environmental risk from P loss. Selected soil properties were determined using standard methods. Mean values of P extracted were in the order PM3 > Polsen > PBray, and were significantly correlated with each other. The PM3 was the highest in silt clay loam and lowest in sandy and loamy soils. To predict potential P loss from the soils, degree of P saturation (DPS), soil P storage capacity (SPSC), and P stability ratio (Psat) were calculated. Results showed the highest DPS was recorded in sandy textured soils, indicating that they have lower sorption capacity, whereas the SPSC was highest in silt clay textures; hence, it is likely they would act as a P sink. Psat was highest in sandy soils, which indicated a high risk for P leaching. Principal component analysis (PCA) performed on the data identified four principal components that described 83.8% of the variation between P and the studied soil parameters. The results indicated that silt was the critical soil characteristic associated with both P sorption and extractability in different textures of soil. The second component confirmed the positive association between the different soil P extraction methods (PM3, POlsen, and PBray).
