Measuring Soil Salinity

2012
Soil salinity is a form of land degradation in which salts accumulate in the soil profile to an extent that plant growth or infrastructure are negatively affected. A range of both field and laboratory procedures exist for measuring soil salinity. In the field, soil salinity is usually inferred from apparent electrical conductivity (EC(a)) using a range

SALINE AND SODIC-SALINE SOIL RECLAMATION

Soil Science, 1992
A column study was conducted involving the reclamation of saline and saline-sodic soils. The amount of water moving through the soils was measured as the pore volume of drainage. During saline soil reclamation, under saturated soil moisture flow, the electric conductivity (EC) of the effluent was ...

Saline Soil Reclamation Index as an efficient tool for assessing restoration progress of saline land

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
Restoration of degraded land is imperative for addressing climate change, deriving additional benefits such as biomass and biofuel for supporting a biobased economy and also for meeting various targets of the Bonn Challenge and the UN Sustainable ...

Effect of biochar on sweet corn and soil salinity under conjunctive irrigation with brackish water in coastal saline soil

Scientia Horticulturae, 2019
Coastal areas of Eastern China possess substantial salt-affected lands and brackish water for agriculture usage. A novel method using biochar and conjunctive irrigation was conducted to explore the reliable utilization of these low-quality resources ...

Soil salinity measurements

Soil Use and Management, 1988
Abstract. The soil solution may contain both plant nutrients and toxic ions. The total salt concentration affects both osmotic pressure and plant water stress. This review describes the main methods of evaluating soil salinity.

Soil Salinization

2016
Salt accumulation in soils, affecting agricultural productivity, environmental health, and the economy of the community, is a global phenomenon since the decline of ancient Mesopotamian civilization by salinity. The global distribution of salt-affected soils is estimated to be around 830 million hectares extending over all the continents, including ...

Diagnosing Soil Salinity

1963
Excerpts from the report: The proper management and treatment of salt-affected soils depends upon accurate knowledge of the nature and severity of the salt problem at hand. Inadequate information may lead farmers to plant salt-sensitive crops where they should plant salt-tolerant ones, or to fail to apply chemical amendments where they are needed ...

Soil Salination Indicators

2014
Soil salinity is one of the important soil properties that significantly affect agricultural production and environmental quality. A salinity indicator is a sign or symptom that suggests the soil is experiencing the impacts of salinity. Conventional chemical indicators of soil salinity include electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS),

Soil Salinity

2016
A soil is salineif the electrical conductivity of its soil solution as obtained by extraction from a water-saturated soil paste (ECe) exceeds 4 dS m-1. (The measurement of electrical conductivity for a soil saturation extract is discussed in Methods of Soil Analysis,listed under For Further Reading at the end of this chapter.) According to this ...
