Top processes
- Evaporation leaves salts behind so they accumulate at the surface when upward flux exceeds leaching; soil with ECe above 4 dS/m is called saline
- Leaching requirement LR = ECiw / (5 ECe - ECiw): irrigating with 1 dS/m water on a crop tolerating ECe 4 dS/m needs about 5% extra water
- Salts lower osmotic potential by about 0.036 MPa per dS/m and cut yield by roughly 7-12% per dS/m above threshold for wheat and maize
