Licorice root

The restoration of saline lands, however, is an expensive exercise. Moreover, until recently there was a lack of unambiguous data on the cost recovery and efforts in this direction. But more and more studies, including a recent study by Kadir et al. (See here), point to weighty arguments for the profitability of actions to restore saline land. The results of the Kadir et al study suggest that investing in sustainable land management is an economically viable solution. The prevention of land degradation and the restoration of degraded areas is a more profitable solution compared to the price that has to be paid for these simple territories. In their study, Kadyr et al. Argue that, depending on a number of factors, inaction can lead to significant losses (up to 69%). And this is without taking into account such factors as the reduction of employment, the deterioration of human and animal health, and the environmental consequences of land degradation, due to the large amount of carbon dioxide emitted by these lands, which exacerbates the impacts of climate change.
