Excerpt from Electrical Conductivity Methods for Detecting and Delineating Saline Seeps and Measuring Salinity in Norther Great Plains Soils
This manual discusses the use of soil electrical conductivity (ec) sensors and methods for measuring field soil salinity, for detecting and delineating saline seeps, and for identifying recharge areas. Equipment and methods are described in detail, and representative calibration curves for determining soil salinity are given for northern Great Plains soils.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to detecting and delineating saline seeps, and measuring salinity in the soil of the northern Great Plains. It begins by introducing the historical and contextual background of saline seeps and soil salinity in the region. The author discusses the basic principles of soil electrical conductivity and how it relates to soil salinity, which can indicate the presence of saline seeps. The author provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to use soil electrical conductivity to diagnose saline seeps, and how to delineate their boundaries and affected areas. They also offer methods for estimating the depth to discontinuities in the soil profile, such as bedrock or water tables, and for identifying the direction of ground water inflow to a seep and its general recharge area. With its clear explanations, practical examples, and helpful illustrations, this book provides valuable insights for farmers, land managers, and anyone involved in managing soil salinity.
