Soil Salinity under Irrigation

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 51))

Abstract

Soil salinity (the readily soluble salts present in the soil; essentially the inorganic electrolytes contained in the soil solution) can be determined or estimated from measurements made: (1) on aqueous extracts of soil samples; (2) on samples of soil water, per se, obtained from the soil; (3) in situ using either buried porous salinity sensors which imbibe and equilibrate with soil water or four-electrode probes or time domain reflectometric electrode systems, and (4) remotely using electromagnetic induction electrical conductivity sensors.
