Soil salinity effects on nitrogen fixers and cellulose decomposing microorganisms

Abstract

This article presents data on the effect of soil salinity on the activity of nitrogen-fixing and cellulose-degrading microorganisms in alluvial soils of widely irrigated meadows in the Bukhara region. According to it, the activity of nitrogen-fixing and cellulose-decomposing microorganisms was studied as a control in non-saline soils, and scientific data was presented on how the activity of these bacteria changes in weakly saline, moderately saline, and strongly saline soils in the order of increasing levels of salinity, and which of the easily soluble salts in water had the greatest effect on it.
