Saline soils are characterized by high concentrations of soluble salts, which can negatively impact plant growth. These soils often have a white crust on the surface, indicating the presence of salts like sodium chloride. Saline soils are typically found in arid and semi-arid regions, where evaporation exceeds precipitation, leading to salt accumulation. The presence of saline soils can hinder agricultural productivity, as many crops struggle to thrive in such conditions. Management practices, such as improving drainage and using salt-tolerant crops, can help mitigate the effects of salinity and enhance soil health for better agriculture.
