Development and evaluation of biopolymer–fly ash amended sand for improved water holding capacity, abrasion resistance, and plant growth in desert ecosystem

Desert sand, although mineral-rich, is unsuitable for agriculture due to its low water holding capacity and weak particle cohesion. In this study, a sustainable sand amendment approach was developed using Fly ash (FA) in combination with biopolymers, such as Guar gum (GG), Xantha...
