This book examines how high levels of soil salinity associated with global climate change have become a major agricultural concern, severely affecting crop growth, development, and yield. High salinity stress leads to a series of morphological and physiological changes in plants and adversely affects their growth, development, and productivity. High salinity stress is a serious global threat to... Read more
