Soil salinity is one of the limiting factors of agricultural productivity. It is essential to
determine the soil salinity in a reliable and yet relatively easy method. This experimental …

In the Songnen Plain, Northeast China, chemical parameters of salt-affected soils were
previously obtained from 1: 5 soil-to-water (1: 5) extracts so that there is no information …

The present study investigates the effect of three different methods of obtaining 1: 1 and 1: 5
soil-over-water mass ratios (soil: water) extracts for soil electrical conductivity (EC) …

Soil salinization is directly related to the quantity and quality of food production, and often, to
increased energy demands for high-quality irrigation water. Reliable monitoring of soil …

It is essential to estimate soil salinity with an effective and easy-to-use method. Many
laboratories determine soil salinity using a measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) with …

Soil salinity is best estimated by saturated paste extract (ECe), the most reliable monitoring
method to assess plant growth that is directly related to the field water content. However, this …

Many empirical equations have been developed to predict the properties of saturation
extracts, primarily electrical conductivity, from the properties of soil water extracts of 1 to 5 …

The electrical conductivity of a saturated paste extract of soil (ECe) is a standard
measurement of soil salinity, which may adversely effect the environment and plants. This …

Global distribution of salt-affected soils (SAS) has remained at about 1 billion hectares in the
literature over the years despite changes in climate, sea levels, and land use patterns which …

Questions about how archaeological populations obtained basic food supplies are often
difficult to answer. The application of specialist techniques from non-archaeological fields …
