Features
• Provides best management practices addressing site assessment and site management for each type of saline and sodic problem affecting turfgrass performance
• Identifies BMPs including irrigation system design, irrigation scheduling and salinity leaching, amendments, cultivation, topdressing, soil modification, sand-capping, drainage, nutritional practices, and monitoring
• Discusses whole ecosystem site assessment in relation to environmental issues such as soil quality/sustainability, salt disposal, and potential to affect surface and ground waters
• Includes laboratory and field methods as well as soil and water quality report interpretations
• Presents challenges including salinity and environmental management systems; use of halophytic turfgrasses for non-traditional purposes; integration or geospatial concepts and technology; and integration of new sensor technology

Summary
A comprehensive, science-based approach to understanding the various salinity stresses on turfgrass, landscape plants, and soils, this book covers the causes, problems, and characteristics of saline and sodic sites. It discusses site assessments for each type of salinity stress, including laboratory and field methods, and soil and water quality report interpretations. Presenting options for the development and implementation of best management practice (BMPs), it considers whole ecosystem site assessment for environmental issues such as soil quality/sustainability, salt disposal, and potential to affect surface and ground waters.
