Sahara is a feminine name based on an Arabic word sahrā or “desert.” It extends from Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea Hills in the east, and from Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Sahel Zone in the south. Because of the arid climate, average annual precipitation of less than 5 mm (0.2 in) (New et al. 2000), and harsh environments, agriculture traditionally has been confined to specific areas called oases (small patches of vegetation fed by a spring and surrounded by desert). Thus, the African continent, where the Sahara Desert is located, is characterized by the familiar bleak statistics, such as 300 million people without access to safe drinking water and only 5% of arable land being irrigated (Tornhill 2012). Furthermore, prevalence of undernourishment in Africa (the percentage of the total population prone to lack of access to safe and healthy food) has been on the rise and was 44.4% in 2014, 49.7% in 2016, 51.3% in 2018, 52.4% in 2019, and 56.0% in 2020. Of this, prevalence of severe undernourishment (percentage of total population) was 16.7% in 2014, 19.2% in 2016, 19.3% in 2018, 31.9% in 2019, 32.2% in 2020, and 34.4% in 2021 (FAO et al. 2022).The problem of food insecurity is presumably aggravated by the current and projected increase in population, especially that of sub-Saharan Africa. The populations of Europe and North America combined (1.18 billion) and that of sub-Saharan Africa (1.2 billion) were similar in 2022. However, the rate of increase in population has been less than 1% in Europe and North America since the 1960s and is reaching the level of zero growth in 2020 and Rattan Lal is a distinguished university professor of soil science and is director of the CFAES Rattan Lal Center for Carbon Management and Sequestration, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Received January 6, 2023. 2021 (UN 2022). In comparison, the annual rate of population growth in subSaharan Africa peaked at 3% in 1978 and remained above 2.8% in the 1980s; it is now the region with the fastest growing population, which is projected to double by 2040 (UN 2022). Similar to the historic concerns about South Asia and China, there are many discouraging questions: Who will feed Africa? Can Africa feed itself? Are there enough natural resources to feed the growing population?” In the final analysis, it is Africa that will feed its population, and it has natural resources to do so (Muang and Andrews 2014). Instead, it is a question of when its policy makers will create environments (pro-nature, pro-farmers, pro-agriculture, and pro-innovations) that translate known science into action (World Bank 2012). It is precisely in this context that recent agricultural progress in the Sahara is an important indication that Africa has an abundance of water (even ","PeriodicalId":50049,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil and Water Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82799650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, after 25 years of continuous efforts, substantial improvement in water quality has yet to be achieved. The largest hypoxic zone measured was 22,730 km2 (8,776 mi2) in 2017, more than four times the targeted goal (NOAA 2022). Farmers’ adoption of best management practices proposed by state NRS and collaboration among diverse stakeholders are vital to achieving the HTF goals because the majority of nutrient pollution is from agricultural sources (USEPA 2022; Robertson and Saad 2021). Therefore, reorienting the strategy to implement NRS more effectively and motivate farmers’ involvement has been a top priority at the scientific and policy levels. A circular nutrient economy encompasses responsible nutrient management practices for the reduction of nutrient losses and increased recovery of nutrients from waste streams for reuse in agricultural production. The concept is based on the principles of the circular economy, which seeks to decouple economic growth from resource consumption and environmental degradation. Some countries (e.g., Netherlands and Singapore) have been pioneers in implementing circular nutrient economy practices to close nutrient loops, such as the Phosphate Platform and Singapore's NEWater program. In this viewpoint, we suggest that a circular nutrient economy in the MARB could accelerate NRS implementation and achieve benefits beyond nutrient loss reduction.

In the northern Great Plains region of North America, salts that occur in the soil parent materials move upward through the soil profile due to changing land-use and precipitation regimes. If these salts accumulate in the surface soil layer, they impact the ecological integrity of a site, creating the need for ecological restoration. Common methods for addressing salt-impacted soil were developed in the irrigated soils of the southwestern United States and are often ineffective in noncrop areas and the northern Great Plains due to differences in soil properties, elevated gypsum concentrations, and poor soil drainage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify native plant species suited for revegetation in salt-impacted soils in the northern Great Plains region of North America. This field study evaluated the survival and performance of eight native plant species in soils with high, medium, or low salt concentrations. Survival was evaluated at summer and end-of-season sampling (five months total) and performance variables (plant height, basal diameter, number of flowering heads, number of tillers/stems, and aboveground biomass) were evaluated at end-of-season sampling. Seven of the eight species evaluated exhibited some salt tolerance and could be suitable for the revegetation of moderately salt-impacted soil. Overall, <i>Asclepias speciosa, Gaillardia aristata</i>, and <i>Helianthus maximiliani</i> grew in minimally salt-impacted soils, whereas <i>Elymus canadensis, Elymus trachycaulus</i>, and <i>Pascopyrum smithii</i> grew in moderately salt-impacted soils, and only <i>Sporobolus airoides</i> grew in highly salt-impacted soils. As these native plants establish and grow, they will spur autogenic recovery by stabilizing soil structure and improving water movement in the soil. These results indicate that salt tolerance must be considered when selecting species that could revegetate these areas.","PeriodicalId":50049,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil and Water Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135711916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
