"The accumulation of soluble salts in portions of the landscape creates a significant localized soil degradation risk on the Canadian Prairies. Salinization occurs most rapidly in arid regions after wetter-than-normal years because water tables become elevated. Soluble salts become concentrated near the soil surface as soil water is removed by transpiration and evaporation. Plants differ in their response to high levels of soluble salts. High soluble salt concentrations can impair a plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients, and some of the elements present in saline soils can be toxic. These factors can reduce the yield of agricultural crops and, in extreme cases, can result in unproductive soils"--Summary, page 1. Soil salinization Environmental aspects Prairie Provinces.
