Advances and future research in ecological stoichiometry under saline-alkali stress

Saline-alkali stress is a serious abiotic factor which negatively impacts agricultural production and the ecological environment. Thus, improving the development of saline-alkali soil and reducing the effects of saline-alkali stress is a key issue for sustainable agricultural development and environmental protection. As such, it is unsurprising that researchers have lately focused on how to improve saline-alkali soil, increase the agricultural yield of saline-alkali land, and promote the adaptive growth of plants in saline-alkali soil. This paper reviews the latest research concerning nutrient content changes in saline-alkali soil, along with the associated changes in key nutrients in plants, to summarize which methods are most effective for improving the plant growth under saline-alkali stress. Finally, the prospects for alleviating saline-alkali stress and improving saline-alkali soil are put forward as a theoretical foundation for the stabilization of plant growth in saline-alkali soil, expansion of arable land area, crop yield improvement, and effective environmental protection.
