• Then, as the limit of arable land was reached and salinization took an increasing toll, the food surplus began to fall rapidly.

  Academic text (1990)

• The map in Figure 1 on page 6 shows the extent of secondary soil salinization in southwest Australia.

  Academic text (1990)

• Thus, a general explanation of secondary soil salinization requires recourse to both mechanisms.

  Academic text (1990)

• But this advice was based on the assumption that the predominant underlying cause of salinization is a rising water table.

• Also, land is cleared and saltwater is brought inland, resulting in the salinization of soils.

  Academic text (2009)

  Academic text (2006)

• In Mesopotamia, intensive, irrigated agriculture and the consequent salinization and waterlogging of the fields destroyed the basis for Sumerian society.

  Academic text (1990)

• In irrigated areas, the problems include waterlogging and salinization, soil degradation, waterborne pollutants, loss of genetic diversity, and long-term changes in soil structure.

  Academic text (1996)

• The salinization of the soil made it difficult for crops to thrive in the agricultural fields.
