Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2024. XI, 166 p. 115 illus., 106 illus. in color. online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file PDF rda Ch 1 Background and world-wide distribution of salt-affected soils -- Ch 2 Important parameters for the characterization of salt-affected soils -- Ch 3 Specific problems of salt-affected soils -- Ch 4 Amelioration and management strategies for salt-affected soils -- Ch 5 Responses of crop plants to soil salinity -- Ch 6 Salt resistance -- Ch 7 Breeding for salt resistance. The book combines knowledge about salinity problems from soil science and plant science and presents an in-depth treatment of the current scientific findings to enable plant production on saline soils. It discusses soil parameters in the context of the development of plants with salt resistance as a multigenic trait. An integrated view helps to comprehend the complicated metabolic and biophysical aspects involved in salt resistance. Findings in recent years promise to promote salt resistance significantly. The possibility to cultivate plants on so far barren land is of utmost importance with regard to a fast-growing world population and an increasing need for food, feed, and regrowing resources under particular consideration of environmental protection. .
