Applying proper soil amendments in arid and semi-arid areas improves soil quality and promotes plant growth. Lignite and Wheat Straw Biochar (WSB) are soil amendments that can be used to improve soil quality and plant productivity. Nitraria Schoberi L. is a halophyte shrub from Nitrariaceae family that is planted in degraded rangelands for forage production and soil conservation. In this research, we investigated the effects of lignite and WSB on structural traits (e.g., height, crown diameter, area and volume, leaf area, perimeter, etc.) of N. Schoberi and soil properties. The lignite and WSB amendments were applied at rates of 0, 1.25, 2.5, and 3.75% (weight/weight) in six replications. The experiment was conducted in pots inside a greenhouse. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way and two-way analyses of variance using the SPSS₂₁ statistical software. Our results revealed that lignite and WSB amendments significantly improved soil properties and increased structural traits of the N. Schoberi. Trait enhancement was considerably increased by incorporating a larger ratio of amendments to soil during the experiment. In particular, we found that an application of 3.75% (w/w) of both amendments among the ones tested provided the best rate to reach the largest improvement in soil properties and the largest growth of N. Schoberi. The results demonstrated that lignite and WSB can be used to enhance soil chemical and biological properties to promote the productivity of N. Schoberi. Our results suggest that the application of lignite and WSB effectively improved poor soil properties in the studied clay loam solonchak rangeland soil. We recommend incorporating these amendments in the restoration of rangelands with alkaline soils using N. Schoberi.

在干旱和半干旱地区施用适当的土壤改良剂可以改善土壤质量并促进植物生长。褐煤和麦秸生物炭（WSB）是土壤改良剂，可用于改善土壤质量和植物生产力。Nitraria Schoberi L.是Nitrariaceae家族的一种盐生植物灌木，种植在退化的牧场中，用于草料生产和土壤保护。在这项研究中，我们研究了褐煤和WSB对N. Schoberi的结构性状（例如高度，树冠直径，面积和体积，叶面积，周长等）的影响。和土壤特性。褐煤和WSB修正剂分别以0、1.25、2.5和3.75％（重量/重量）的比率进行了六次重复。实验在温室内的盆中进行。使用SPSS ₂₁统计软件通过方差的单向和双向分析进行统计分析。我们的结果表明，褐煤和WSB改良剂显着改善了Schoberi猪笼草的土壤特性并增加了其结构性状。通过在试验过程中掺入较大比例的土壤改良剂，可显着提高性状的提高。特别是，我们发现3.75％（w/ w）这两个修正中的两个修正提供了达到土壤特性最大改善和N. Schoberi最大成长的最佳速率。结果表明，褐煤和WSB可以增强土壤化学和生物性质，从而促进猪猪笼草的生产力。我们的结果表明，褐煤和WSB的应用有效地改善了所研究的粘土壤土solonchak牧场土壤的不良土壤性能。我们建议将这些修正案纳入使用N. Schoberi用碱性土壤修复的牧场中。
