Western Australian landholders and the Government are gearing up for a significantly bad year for salinity following heavy rains during summer. Dryland salinity near the surface of soil can inhibit ...

Soil salinity and Poa annua don't go well together. While few courses experience salinity problems during cool spring temperatures, the lack of good flushing rains in many areas of the West this past ...

Using ocean observations and a large suite of climate models, scientists have found that long-term salinity changes have a stronger influence on regional sea level changes than previously thought.

Agricultural researchers say iirrigated agriculture in the Central Valley is at risk due to the lack of fresh water. The long-term viability of irrigated agriculture in California's highly productive ...
