Polder Effects on Sediment-to-Soil Conversion: Water Table, Residual Available Water Capacity, and Salt Stress Interdependence
Figure 18
Simultaneous effects of the desiccation on the RUr profiles and on the water salinity. (a) In the grassland the high initial salinity drastically increases during the surface desiccation. (b) In the K1A-B the increases of salinity are moderated by the fresh water inlet from the limestone hill. (c) In the K2A-B the increases of salinity are moderated because of small residual salinity of the leached soil. Triangle = 07 April in K2A-B and grassland profiles and 20 April in K1A-B profiles; crosses = 30 May profiles.
