Editorial Reviews

A comprehensive review of new concepts and technologies available for preventing the formation of salt-affected soils distributed throughout the world's continents, including techniques for reclamation after the damage has been done. The volume emphasizes the anthropogenic factors involved in the development of soil salinity, the maintenance of salt balance, and the removal of salts by leaching or irrigation. Particularly interesting are the reviews of non-conventional crops being developed for salt affected and waterlogged situations, and the synthesis of information regarding the reclamation and management of alkali soils, crop sequence, fertilizer management, and nutrient interactions.
