In a further experiment, salinity up to an EC1:5 carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from salt-affected soils is of 5.0 dSm− 1 was developed in the silt loam with NaCl or scarce. Four laboratory incubation experiments were con- CaCl2. No differences in respiration at a given EC were ducted with three soils. To determine the influence of obtained between the two salts, indicating that Na and Ca calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on respiration in saline and did not differ in toxicity to microbial activity. The effect of non-saline soils, a loamy sand (6.3% clay) was left different addition rates (0.25–2.0%) of mature wheat unamended or amended with NaCl to obtain an electrical residue on the response of respiration to salinity was conductivity (EC) of 1.0 dSm− 1 in a 1:5 soil/water extract. investigated by adding NaCl to the silt loam to obtain an Powdered CaCO3 at rates of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0% EC1:5 of 2.0 and 4.0 dSm− 1. The clearest difference between and 10.0% (w/w) and 0.25-2 mm mature wheat residue at salinity levels was with 2% residue rate. At a given salinity 0% and 2% (w/w) were then added. Cumulative CO2-C level, the
