When there is an overabundance of sodium ions in the clay and soil complex that still includes exchangeablecalcium, the soil is referred to as saline soil, brown alkali soil, or white alkali soil. This soil continues to be flocculated or granulated. As a result, it has air and water perm...
SOIL samplingCOASTSCharacterizing soil salinity at the regional scale remains challenging despite decades of effort in soil mapping. Using satellite remote sensing, an effort has been made to identify the coastal saline soils in India. The study made use of ...
Saline soils, also called “white alkali” soils correspond to the “Solonchaks” described by the Russian soil scientists. Solonchak is a Reference Soil Group of the World Reference Base for Soil Resources. Sidebar 10.3 –Solubility (mmolc L–1) of Salts Commonly Found in Soils and Natural ...
in the soil horizons. The degree of salinity is determined by adding up the toxic salts bound to chlorine and sulfate ions. Solonetzic soils differ from saline ones in that they contain absorbed sodium: sometimes solonetzicness is combined with salinity. Sodium salts are usually more toxic. ...
Usually saline soils were reclamized by chemical or mechanical remediation, since the cost of leaching technique for saline soil reclamation is higher in India. In the present study an attempt has been made to investigate to identify the fast and luxuriantly growing halophytic herbs which are salt...
Saline soil in coastal areas is a kind of soil that has a high salt content because of the intrusion of seawater, and is distributed in a long narrow belt along the seashore. From: Geoderma, 2014 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...
It may be concluded that application of higher rates of rice‐residue biochar (2–4%) will be more effective in reducing the adverse effects of salinity on soil properties.Rajanbeer SinghDepartment of Soil SciencePunjab Agricultural UniversityLudhiana141004IndiaManpreet S. Mavi...
Soil salinization is one of the major land degradation types and has greatly influenced sustainable agricultural development. Zonation of saline-alkali lan
In Senegal, soil degradation is one of the major constraints limiting agricultural development. It negates the efforts of public bodies and partner development agencies to improve food security and increase farmer income as part of their struggle against
The study of saline soils using multitemporal Landsat images of the year 1977, 1983, and 1987, indicated an evident increase in saline areas in past few years. The Soil Brightness Index (SBI) generated from the IRSIA data by the application of MSS equivalent coefficients brought out different...
