- Company Profile:
An international scientific society that fosters the transfer of knowledge and practices to sustain global soils. Based in Madison, WI, and founded in 1936, SSSA is the professional home for 6,000+ members dedicated to advancing the field of soil science. It provides information about soils in ...
(i) A soil containing sufficient exchangeable sodium to interfere with the growth of most crop plants and containing appreciable quantities of soluble salts. The exchangeable-sodium percentage is >15, the conductivity of the saturation extract >4 dS m-1(at 25 °C), and the pH is usually 8. 5 or less in the saturated soil. (ii) A saline-alkali soil has a combination of harmful qualities of salts and either a high alkalinity or high content of exchangeable sodium, or both, so distributed in the profile that the growth of most crop plants is reduced.
Industry:Earth science
The removal of calcium carbonate or calcium ions from the soil by leaching.
Industry:Earth science
A great soil group of azonal soils characterized by an incomplete solum or no clearly expressed soil morphology and consisting of freshly and imperfectly weathered rock or rock fragments.
Industry:Earth science
A compound which accepts electrons during biotic or abiotic chemical reactions and is thereby reduced.
Industry:Earth science
A group of soils defined as having a specific range in one or more particular property(ies) such as acidity, degree of slope, texture, structure, land-use capability, degree of erosion, or drainage.
Industry:Earth science
A small, streamlined dune that forms around desert, brush-and-clump vegetation.
Industry:Earth science
A combination of the zonal great soil groups, Red Podzolic and Yellow Podzolic, consisting of soils formed under warm-temperate to tropical, humid climates, under deciduous or coniferous forest vegetation and usually, except for a few members of the Yellow Podzolic Group, under conditions of good drainage.
Industry:Earth science
A great soil group of the intrazonal order and halomorphic suborder, consisting of soils with a very thin, friable, surface soil underlain by a dark, hard columnar layer usually highly alkaline; formed under subhumid to arid, hot to cool climates, under better drainage than Solonchaks, and under a native vegetation of halophytic plants.
Industry:Earth science
A device for the continuous culture of microorganisms in which growth rate and population size are regulated by the concentration of a limiting nutrient in incoming medium.
