salinization

A Dictionary of Biology | 2004 | Copyright

salinization An increase in the salt content of the soil (or of a body of fresh water), which can lead to the retardation of plant growth and eventually renders the soil infertile. This problem is particularly acute in hot areas, where water readily evaporates from the soil, and it may also occur as a consequence of irrigation.
