Description

This report was prepared to document Phase II of a project to evaluate computer codes for predicting the fate and transport of salt in soil and groundwater to facilitate risk-based corrective action. Phase I of the project recommended five modelling codes for detailed analysis in Phase II. The five codes were chosen from a list of almost 250 codes that were ranked on their strengths, weaknesses, and applicability to Alberta Environment's salt release scenarios.

Description

This report examines plant species used in reclamation and their tolerances for soil salinity, sodicity and pH. The information for each species was obtained from a review of the literature and unpublished information conveyed through personal interviews with people conducting research in this area or working in reclamation. The objective of this report is to determine if the current values for soil salinity, sodicity and pH need to be revised to reflect plant species' tolerances for these soil parameters. The results indicate that the current values used for soil salinity, sodicity and pH should not be changed at this time.
