Abstract

Soil salination is a major worldwide concern, which affects mainly arable lands, due to irrigation with low quality water and or improper drainage practices that may result in rising of the groundwater level. Many studies have focused on the major negative impacts that soil salination has on soil productivity and associated harmful effects on the agricultural and natural environments. Here, basic soil salination processes and terms are presented, and their impact on soil and crop production is discussed. The chapter also presents key insights regarding common practices used to cope with soil salination and the reclamation of saline soils.
