| In the intact plant, inositol is synthesized in the leaf in response to salinization, and transported to the root in phloem. |
|
| Irrigation by floods or canals permits some cultivation, although intensive irrigation often produces soil salinization. |
|
| In specific hydrogeological contexts, saline wastewater discharge can also cause groundwater salinization and result in brackish water. |
|
| Summerfallowing can lead to soil erosion, salinization, organic matter and N depletion. |
|
| The salinization of ground waters, due to the soils gradual sinking, has compromised the use of artesian wells. |
|
| Waterlogging and salinization are also serious problems in China, India, Russia and the United States. |
|
| It is also likely that half of all agricultural lands in the region will be affected by desertification and salinization. |
|
| An increased risk of salinization of water in some areas where salts present in subsoil. |
|
| In addition, different modes of user charges will be compared, including those that account for damages from salinization. |
|
| However, brackish water irrigation must be carefully researched and managed because it carries with it a risk of salinization if done improperly. |
|
| Owing to the destruction of the discharge processes, salinization of aquifers might have occurred. |
|
| Each indicator monitors a different aspect of the environment, e.g. air pollution or land salinization. |
|
| The meeting gathered representatives from countries of the region in order to discuss concrete projects for addressing specific problems in soil salinization in Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean. |
|
| Protected areas have been established in all parts of the region but depletion of water resources, soil salinization and plant pests are having a large impact on many endemic plant and animal species. |
|
| Conversely, in Australia, where woodlands have been removed and replaced with cereal crops, the groundwater table has subsequently risen leading to salinization of soils and water in the catchment. |
|
| Another advantage of the project is that by pumping less water from the subsoil, the villagers will give the groundwater the respite it needs to be replenished and will help fight salinization of the water and the soil. |
|
| The threat of soil salinization was reported later, especially in the irrigation districts where it was associated with overwatering and poor drainage. |
|
| The challenges posed by water pollution, together with the depletion and salinization of natural reserves of freshwater, are exacerbating the availability concerns. |
|
| Finally, in the dry regions of South America, agricultural land and areas used for livestock farming affected by salinization will be unfit for cultivation. |
|
| All combined these signs of climate change help to exacerbate already acute fresh water problems in the Mediterranean, i.e. increased evaporation, rarefaction of the resource, salinization of coastal aquifers. |
|
|
|
| In some areas in Europe, the main motivator for using water abstraction taxes is over-abstraction, which threatens the sustainability of some aquifers and is causing salinization of others. |
|
| While intensive irrigation has supported Mesopotamian agriculture for thousands of years, it has caused in combination with poor drainage the progressive destruction of the soil through salinization. |
|
| One study of Sumerian records from the 3rd millennium bce has suggested that an understanding of the salinization process led to a shift from wheat to the more salt-resistant barley. |
|
| Unsustainable farming techniques have been used in the region for years, leading to erosion, salinization, land degradation, and desertification in many areas. |
|
| In addition, there are growing risks of salinization of ground water, especially in some Mediterranean coastal areas and in the west of the Iberian Peninsula, with serious consequences for agriculture. |
|
| A portion of the country's usable farmland has consequently been seriously degraded, with soil salinization and drops in water table height commonplace in some regions. |
|
| More efficient use of water for agriculture should be encouraged to increase soil production and crop yield and to avoid waterlogging and salinization. |
|
| Gaza's ground water is classified as saline, ranging from 650 to 3,600 parts per million, and some analysts predict complete salinization of the aquifer in the near future. |
|
| These schemes often lead to soil degradation and salinization. |
