Definition of salinize in English English dictionary: Become or render salty or saltier
Soil erosion is only one of many serious threats to farmland. Much of the twentieth century’s gains in crop production was due to irrigation. But irrigation can also salinize soils. Because most irrigation occurs in parched regions, the abundant sunlight of dry climates evaporates much of the water away, leaving salts behind.
salinization: the act of salinizing, or the state of being salinized
salinization: the addition of salt or brine
salinization: the accumulation of salt in water or soil
salinization: Pedogenic process that concentrates salts at or near the soil surface because evapotranspiration greatly exceeds water inputs from precipitation
salinization: A process in which mineral salts accumulate in the soil, killing plants; occurs when soils in dry climates are irrigated profusely
salinization: Destruction of productive land by an increase in its salt content Occurs frequently from overirrigated soil when evaporation of water at the surface draws salts from underground rocks and soils, causing salts to crystallize and interfere with root growth
salinization: n: Accumulation of salts in soil that can eventually make the soil unable to support plant growth
