background and objectives: primary and secondary soil salinity is one of the main reasons of land degradation and desertification in arid and semi-arid zones. change detection of salt-affected soils, aides finding salt distribution and salinization trends. present study was arranged for monitoring soil salinity status of agricultural lands located on southern part of bakhtegan lake in fars prov...

The main aim of smart cities is to achieve the sustainable use of resources. In order to make the correct use of resources, an accurate monitoring and management is needed. In some places, like underground aquifers, access for monitoring can be difficult, therefore the use of sensors can be a good solution. Groundwater is very important as a water resource. Just in the USA, aquifers represent t...

Improper use of land resources may result in severe soil salinization. Timely monitoring and early warning of soil salinity is in urgent need for sustainable development. This paper addresses the possibility and potential of Advanced Land Imager (ALI) for mapping soil salinity. In situ field spectra and soil salinity data were collected in the Yellow River Delta, China. Statistical analysis dem...

Optimum utilization of available resources has became a necessary due to increasing population pressure in the developing nations. The burgeoning population put thrust on each and every resource to be utilised wisely and sustainably for production of food specially quality protein to feed the population and eradicate malnutrition. Among such underutilised resources, the saline affected land is ...

Plant growth and yields are decreased by salinity, drought and other environmental stress conditions. Soil salinization is one of man’s oldest environmental disasters. The historic records show that many human civilizations declined because of the destruction of crop production by salinization of arable lands. Recent estimates suggest that about 20-25% of the world’s irrigated land is destroyed...

In recent years, salinization of soil is one the challenging environmental concerns occurring all over world. The effects concentration salt can be detected in both natural (primary) as well man-made (secondary) environment. This due to massive urbanization and industrialization coastal regions, Soil salinity may lead degradative changes composition water resources, loss fertile soil, biodivers...

soil is one of the most important natural resources covering a large area of the land surface. soil plays a vital role in biosphere processes, such as energy balance, hydrology, biochemistry, and biological productivity. it supports plants that supply foods, fibers, drugs, and some other human needs. conversely, desert regions include about one third of earth lands and these regions have increa...

Irrigation-induced salinization is an important land degradation process that affects crop yield in the Brazilian semi-arid region, and gypsum has been used as a corrective measure for saline soils. Fluvent soil samples (180) were treated with increasing levels of salinization of NaCl, MgCl2 and CaCl2. The salinity was gauged using electrical conductivity (EC). Gypsum was added to one split of ...
