Soil management systems that do not prioritize conservation contribute to carbon (C) depletion in tropical environments. In the semi-arid region of Brazil, fruit farming has been a key driver for economic development, yet high agricultural yields depend on the use of costly inputs. We conducted a groundbreaking study in São Francisco Valley, northeastern Brazil, to investigate the effects of organic (OF) and synthetic fertilizers (CF) on carbon stock and stability, organic matter fractions, microorganismal carbon biomass (C-mic) and quality indexes, and C-CO emissions up to the 1 m of depth in grapevine soils.

- Climate change is causing soil salinization, which negatively impacts global crop development by activating plant defense systems and limiting cell division.
- The study investigates how inoculating maize with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) that produce ACC deaminase, along with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), can enhance growth under saline conditions.
- Results show that inoculation significantly improves various growth metrics and pigment content in maize, with co-inoculation boosting mycorrhizal colonization and reducing sodium accumulation in plants exposed to saline stress.
