Combined Effects of Humic Acid-Modified Magnetic Biochar and AMF on the Properties of Saline-Alkali Soil and Photosynthetic Parameters of Muskmelon by ZHANG Yating, LOU Xueyi, WU Jiarui, LIU Hongyuan, YE Binyu, XIAO Jiamin, LI Jiameng, MIAO Yining, CHEN Xinyan, LIU Yilin, TAN Yuyu, WANG Zhichao, LIU Peng

“…[Results] Under 15 and 75 mmol/L saline-alkali stress, combined application of 20 g/kg AMF with 20% HA-MBC showed the best mitigation effects, with a “synergistic enhancement” observed. On one hand, the iron oxides and humic acids loaded on HA-MBC improved the physical and chemical properties of soil by increasing the quantity of surface functional groups and porosity, while AMF formed symbiotic roots to further enrich organic matter and nutrients, and increase soil enzyme activities, thus increasing the height and root length of muskmelon and promoting the recovery of Fv/Fm and the reduction of F0 and qN. …”
