[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef][ Green Version] Soil salinization is a major obstacle to the optimal utilization of land resources. Salt-affected soils are widely distributed throughout the world, and about 20% of the world’s cultivated land is salt-affected [1]. In the coastal regions of China, approximately 10 6 hm 2 of land is salt-affected because of sea water intrusion and the dry climate. The salt-affected soils in the coastal areas of northern China have several unique characteristics including a high water table (saline groundwater is 0.5–1.0 m below the soil surface), a high groundwater mineralization degree (7–10 g·L −1), serious secondary salinization, and a low nutrient content [2]. The present extent of salt-affected soils substantially restricts plant growth in these areas.

The production of greenhouse crops involves a number of cultural inputs. Among these, perhaps the most important is the type of growing medium used. Due to the relatively shallow depth and limited volume of a container, growing media must be amended to provide the appropriate physical and chemical properties necessary for plant growth. Peat moss is formed in wetlands, particularly in bogs and fens, where dead plant material accumulates over time. Fibrous/Fibric - Golden brown material that dries to a fluffy light material that blows in wind. This is sphagnum moss and sedge based peat, which is found in waterlogged acidic bog conditions. It is commonly used in UK composts. An iron mine in Minnesota used granular peat in a semi-active treatment system and recorded an average removal of 75 percent for suspended copper and 60 percent for dissolved copper while reducing the size, complexity and operating cost of the treatment system. At a base metal mine, lead removal was greater than 99 percent and operating costs were well within budget. Those are both solid wins for peat and for the mining industry.Wood-sphagnum peat – peat woody-moss group, in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65 % of the residues of mosses, among which more than 35 % sphagnum, and from 15 to 35% of wood. Peat the ash content is classified into low-ash (< 5 %), crenately (5,1-10 %) and high ash (> 10 %). The high ash content typical for the lowland type, the lowest for peat.

When used judiciously and harvested in a responsible manner, the world’s peat supply can provide significant benefits. Treating environmental contamination with non-toxic, natural peat is a prime example of a best use for natural resources. SW The pressure from the weight of the layers causes the water to be squeezed out of the partially decomposed organic matter, resulting in the formation of a dense, spongy material. Preservation Stage The nutrient content of compost varies depending on the source materials used, but it generally contains a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Perlite Rice hulls are a biproduct of the rice milling industry. Although they are extremely light in weight, rice hulls are very effective at improving drainage. The particle size and resistance to decomposition of ri Peat has been used by Mother Nature for millennia to clean water. Wetlands are natural environmental filters because of the peaty, organic soils common to many shallow water systems.

Site accounts

Peat mosses form dense clumps around ponds, in swamps and bogs, on moist acidic cliffs, and on lakeshores from tropical to subpolar regions.

Sphagnum moss – is the dehydrated remains of acid-bog plants from the genus Sphagnum (i.e. Spapillosum). It is light in weight and has the ability to absorb 10 to 20 times its weight in water. This is attributed to the large groups of water holding cells, characteristic of the genus. Sphagnum moss contains specific fungistatic substances which accounts for its ability to inhibit damping-off of seedlings. Wood transitional peat transitional peat wood group, in the Botanical composition is from 40 to 85 % of the residues of birch and pine.Peat moss is harvested by cutting and removing the top layer of living plant material. This exposes the underlying peat, which is then harvested using specialized equipment.
