Understanding the Role of Sodium and Salts in Soil Structure
Soil structure plays a crucial role in plant growth, water movement, and drainage. Excess sodium can cause clay particles to disperse, leading to reduced water infiltration. Flocculation, which involves cations like calcium and magnesium, helps clay particles stick together to form aggregates, impro
