Salinization and Saline Environments
2003This chapter provides an overview of global salinization phenomena and investigates the different mechanisms and geochemical processes that are associated with salinization. The overview includes salinization of rivers, lakes, and groundwater from different parts of the world.

RESPONSES OF SALINE AND NON-SALINE POPULATIONS OF ECLIPTA ALBA TO SOIL SALINITY
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1979Experimental study on the growth and development of saline and non-saline populations of Eclipta alba Hassk., planted on soils artificially salinized with water-soluble salts of sodium and a saturation extract of saline soil, revealed differences in their salt-adaptive capabilities.

AbstractThirty crop species provide 90% of our food, most of which display severe yield losses under moderate salinity. Securing and augmenting agricultural yield in times of global warming and population increase is urgent and should, aside from ameliorating saline soils, include attempts to increase crop plant salt tolerance.

Salinity characterization of the Kenyan saline soils
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2004Abstract Representative samples of the saline soils of Kenya were analysed for pH, electrical conductivity, and contents of various ions in their saturation paste / paste extracts. The salt ion contents and types were characterized using a chemical classification system.

Control of Estuarine Salinities by Coastal Ocean Salinity
1990Shelf-estuarine exchange along the Louisiana coast is known to be dominated by barotropic, tidal and sub-tidal exchanges. Simple regression of the estuarine salinities against Mississippi River discharge and cross-spectrum analysis do not produce a successful hindcast of the observations.

Acta Horticulturae, 2008
Sixteen processing tomato cultivars (fourteen high lycopene, one common commercial and one local Apulian landrace) were compared in a field trial in Southern Italy to evaluate yield parameters and some qualitative characteristics. The cultivars showed different production characteristics. Marketable yield ranged from 34.8 Mg ha(-1) for cv.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1999
A key feature in the successful resuscitation of dehydrated or endotoxemic ruminants is the total amount of sodium administered. Administration of small volumes of HS and HSD offer major advantages over large volumes of isotonic saline because HS and HSD do not require intravenous catheterization or periodic monitoring, and are therefore suitable for ...

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 ...

Salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses faced by farmers. Salinity stress is responsible for significant loss of yield, and increasing salinity leads to loss of productive arable land. Salinity stress is especially important in drier areas, where evaporation leads to elevated levels of salt.

Should selection for yield in saline regions be made on saline or non-saline soils?
Euphytica, 1983Saline soils are typically very patchy in their salinity. The yield of crops growing on them is similarly patchy. This paper argues that because most of the yield from such soils comes from the least saline areas, the best breeding strategy for improving the overall yield of crops growing on them is to select for high yield on non-saline soils.
