“…Salt-affected soils suffer from salinity and/or sodicity based on values of soil acidity (pH), salinity (EC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and exchangeable sodium percent (ESP), which represent a serious stress on cultivated plants leading to a rapid decline of soil health, losing their capability to grow healthy plants, filtering soil water, soil carbon storing, and other necessary ecosystem functions (El-Ramady et al 2022). Salt-affected soils are common mainly in arid and semi-arid regions such as in Egypt, Syria, Iran, India, and the USA besides the continental climate in Hungary (Gangwar et al 2021). Many approaches have been applied to manage saline soils, which mainly focus on decreasing soil salinity in the rhizosphere by leaching or by soil application of certain amendments such as gypsum (Sheikh et al 2022), Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (Hafez et al 2021), nanomaterials (El-Sharkawy et al 2021, and biostimulants (Mostafa 2015), including biochar (Yao et al 2022), compost (El-Sherpiny andKany 2023), active yeast (Taha et al 2021), and compost tea (Shawky et al 2023).…”

ECOGNIZING the importance of fennel as a medicinal plant under challenging soil conditions, it becomes essential to prioritize sustainable cultivation methods. Embracing bio-stimulants as a viable alternative to mineral fertilizers can play a pivotal role in ensuring the continued growth and utilization of fennel for its medicinal properties while safeguarding the environment and fostering long-term agricultural viability. The selected alternatives to NPK-fertilizers were included the foliar application of active yeast (5 g L -1 ), compost tea (2 ml L -1 ), humic acids (2 ml L -1 ), seaweed extract (0.5 g L -1 ), and ascorbic acid (0.5 g L -1 ), comparing with the negative control (tap water) and positive control as NPK (19:19:19) at 1.5 g L -1 . The sequence order of the studied treatments from more effective to less effective was as follows: applied active yeast recorded increase in many studied parameters such as number of branches per plants, dry weight, seed yield per fed, crude protein and total carbohydrates in seeds by 88 and 156%; 137 and 133%; 115 and 129%; 111 and 46%; 16.2 and 11.3% in both seasons, respectively comparing with the negative control and other applied treatments. The main components in fennel oil were α-pinene, followed by sabinene, then β-pinene under such saline conditions. The results of this study can support the farmers to reduce the applied NPK-mineral fertilizers with supplying the cultivated fennel under such saline soil conditions. Further studies are needed and more evaluations are required to know the best biostimulants can be applied under such salinity stress.

“…In addition, cold-region soils are affected by freeze-thaw cycles [8]; when the soil bulk density and pH value increase, the EC and permeability decrease [9], thus further aggravating soil degradation. With rapid urbanization and global population growth causing shortages of cultivated land resources and the deterioration of the ecological environment, determining how to optimise and utilize solonetzic lands has become an urgent problem to be solved in various countries [10].…”

Freeze–thaw cycles cause serious soil erosion, which makes the prevention, control and management of solonetzic lands in the Songnen Plain challenging. The use of soil-aggregate-promoter (SAP) is highly favoured because of its energy-saving and efficient characteristics; however, SAP is rarely used in the improvement of solonetzic soil in cold regions. To fill this gap, we studied the effects of different experimental conditions on the physicochemical properties of solonetzes; the investigated conditions included the number of laboratory-based freeze–thaw cycles (with 0, 1, 3, and 5 cycles), initial moisture content (0%, 18%, 24%, and 30%) and SAP application amount (0 g/m2, 0.75 g/m2, 1.125 g/m2, and 1.5 g/m2). The results showed the following: (1) The soil pH value decreased significantly as the SAP application rate increased, and the effect of the initial moisture content and number of freeze–thaw cycles on soil pH was not significant. (2) SAP effectively reduced the soil electrical conductivity (EC), but a certain threshold was apparent, and the factors studied had significant effects on EC. (3) SAP effectively optimised the soil macroaggregates content and inhibited the damage posed by freeze–thaw cycles to the soil structure. These results provide an important theoretical basis for the effective prevention and control of solonetzes in the Songnen Plain of Northeast China.

“…There is a close interaction between land use and soil properties as land use practices affect the soil quality, soil functions and ecological processes due to modifications in the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soils (Pouyat et al, 1995;Bending et al, 2002;Balota et al, 2003;Bardgett et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2020;Gangwar et al, 2021). Several management strategies have been implemented over the years which are different from the inherited sustainable use of the land.…”

A b s t r a c t. This study was conducted in order to understand the effects of land use and soil types on microbial activity and community structure. Soil samples were collected from four different soil types (Solonetz, Solonchak, Chernozem and Gleysol) being used under different land use practices (arable, pasture and meadow). The soil chemical properties, moisture content, microbiological activity and community size were investigated. The principal component analysis results showed that different land uses and soil types are clearly separated based on the chemical properties of the soil. The canonical correspondence analysis results revealed that more than 78% of variation in the microbiological properties of the samples could be explained by environmental factors. Significant biological differences were observed among the different land use practices and soil types, and also soil cultivation affected the different groups of soil microbes. Sampling sites were separated into two main clusters (Bray-Curtis) based on certain microbiological properties, salt-affected and non-salt-affected soils. The soil types were the main driving factor, with high soil taxonomic distances, however, low taxonomic distances indicated that land use had more pronounced effects on soil microbiological properties.
