Dryland saline seeps : types and causes

Description

Soil salinity can restrict plant growth and reduce crop yields. The high salt concentration in a saline seep prevents the uptake of water and essential nutrients by plant roots. Various measures are used to control and reduce the flow of groundwater that leads to dryland saline seep formation. This fact sheet provides an overview of saline seep formation and how to recognize it, discusses salinity classification, and briefly identifies the main methods of controlling soil salinity.
