Control treatments consist of sterile Milli-Q water replacing salt solutions. All treatments and controls within the same soil were significantly different (p < 0.05) from each other as determined by one-way ANOVA. Salinity levels as measured by electrical conductivity [EC (1:5 soil:water)]. SE, standard error.
