Hurter and <em>Prosopis juliflora<\/em> (Swartz) DC seedlings on salty soils (86, 171, 257 mM NaCl).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong> Salinization causes the degradation of biological, chemical, and physical properties of soils. Salty soils reclamation can be achieved with organic amendments and afforestation with salt tolerant species.<br \/>\n<strong>Aims<\/strong> The aim of the study was to assess in greenhouse conditions the effect of peanut shells on soil chemical characteristics and growth of multipurpose leguminous trees <em>Senegalia senegal<\/em>, <em>Vachellia seyal<\/em>, and <em>Prosopis juliflora<\/em> under salt-affected soils.<br \/>\n<strong>Methods<\/strong> Seedlings were individually cultivated in plastic bags containing a mixture of non-saline and non-sterile soil and crushed peanut shells. Four doses of peanut shells (0, 4, 6, and 8 t ha\u22121) of 73-33 variety were tested. Salt stress was gradually applied after 1 month of cultivation at a rate of 43 mM NaCl per day until concentrations of 0, 86, 171, and 257 mM were reached. Seedlings growth, physiological responses, and soil characteristics were evaluated after 3 months of stress.<br \/>\n<strong>Results<\/strong> Peanut shells application improved soil chemical properties (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus contents, pH, total microbial activity, and cation-exchange capacity) and reduced soil salinity. They also increased height, collar diameter, shoots and root biomass, chlorophyll, and proline contents of seedlings.<br \/>\n<strong>Conclusion<\/strong> The organic amendment with peanut shells improves soil fertility and tree growth under saline conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Keywords<br \/>\nOrganic amendment, Salinization, Saline soil reclamation, <em>Senegalia senegal<\/em>, <em>Vachellia seyal<\/em>, <em>Prosopis juliflora<\/em><\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1007\/s13595-018-0714-x'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n<p>Publication<br \/>\nFall, D., Bakhoum, N., Fall, F. et al.
