GEOCHEMISTRY OF WATER-SOLUBLE SALTS IN IRRIGATED SOILS

Аннотация

This research explores the composition and distribution of water-soluble salts in the genetic horizons of irrigated meadow-saz soils. Based on dry residue levels, these soils are categorized as moderately to strongly saline. Using the concentrations of water-soluble ions, hypothetical salts were determined. The analysis highlights that sulfate salts are predominant, and the salinity levels are significantly influenced by mineralized groundwater with a saz regime. Keywords: salinity, hypothetical salts, geochemical analysis, water extraction, dry residue, sulfate salts.
