The Analysis of Saline Soils Formation on Different Continents and Bioclimatic Zones: Regional Aspect

Authors

Abstract

All kinds of soil salination are found on five continents of the world with the natrium salts being the most influential one. Natrium salts occur as a result of sea water getting into and minerals escaping soil in the past geological eras, as well as, irrigation and drainage. The processes of salination and salinization differ depending on bioclimatic zone, which is reflected in chemical components, physical properties, weathering rind. All of the above-mentioned variables define how fertile the saline soil is. Peculiarity of each bioclimatic zone and the conditions of soil formation influence the composition and properties of saline soils, which can differ within one zone. Most of saline soils are found in tropical and subtropical bioclimatic zones. Decrease of the fertile soil area due to salination is the most important ecological problem. The correlational dependency of saline soils was determined.

Most of saline soils are found in tropical and subtropical bioclimatic zones.The discovered correlational patterns will enable us to make operative evaluation of the salinity levels, as well as, substantiate and implement highly effective measures, predict possible changes of main indicators, and improve their ecological condition.
