Status and Causes of Soil Salinization of Irrigated Agricultural Lands in Southern Baja California, Mexico by Tsuneyoshi Endo, Sadahiro Yamamoto, Juan A. Larrinaga, Hideyasu Fujiyama, Toshimasa Honna

“…Low EC and high pH levels were observed in the profiles of sandy fields, because the salt composition of these soils can easily change when salts are leached by irrigation water that contains carbonates of sodium. On the other hand, high levels of salinity and sodicity were observed in the soils of clayey fields. …”
