Global change pressures on soils from land use and management (2016, background): “…salt concentration in the soil solution increases (decreasing osmotic potential), so two soils of different texture may have the same electrical conductivity, but the osmotic potential is lower in the soil with low water content (Ben-Gal et al., 2009; Chowdhury et al., 2011; Setia et al., 2011a).”
Microbial and Enzyme Activities of Saline and Sodic Soils (2016, background): “This trend in saline soils is thought to be due to dispersion of clay minerals, exposure of organic substrates, release of osmolytes due to cell lysis, and breakdown of aggregates (macro to micro) (Chowdhury et al., 2011b).”
Effects of past and current drought on the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities (2019, background): “, 2017), in a short-term experiment without plants (Chowdhury et al., 2011), and in a hardwood forest correlating natural variation in soil moisture with soil microbial biomass (Baldrian et al.”
Changes in soil microbial community structure and enzyme activity with amendment of biochar-manure compost and pyroligneous solution in a saline soil from Central China (2015, background): “There was also some evidence that fungi could be more sensitive to salt-stress as compared to bacteria [44].”
