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...

Increasing the degradation of groundwater quality in Oman by salinization and chemical contaminants threaten primary sources of drinking water, especially in the coastal agricultural areas. This work elaborates the quality deterioration of groundwater due to chemical contaminants. First, we describe the development and application of Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) to determine the impact of t...

Land degradation takes a number of forms, including depletion of soil nutrients, salinization, agrochemical pollution, soil erosion, vegetative degradation as a result of overgrazing, and the cutting of forests for farmland. All of these types of degradation cause a decline in the productive capacity of the land, reducing potential yields. Farmers may need to use more inputs such as fertilizer ...

To increase the fertility of neutral salt pans and improve their physico-chemical properties under intensive irrigation, it is necessary to apply a set measures. Reclamation saline soils should be aimed at reducing content exchangeable sodium in absorbing complex, improving chemical water-physical creating highly fertile root-inhabited soil layer. When developing flats irrigation conditions, bo...

Abstract. Olive (Olea europaea L.) orchard brackish water irrigation with incorrect management reduces soil fertility and degrades health through salinization. This study was conducted in the Beit She'an Valley, one of main agricultural regions Israel, an olive which a combination salinization poor drainage conditions impedes plant development causes severe economic damage. By combining various...
