Effect of forest vegetation on salinity sodicity and infiltration capacity of soil

Effect of forest vegetation on salinity sodicity and infiltration capacity of soil

Bashir Hussain Shah, Altaf Hussain and Raja M. Omer

ABSTRACT

Effect of soil salinity and sodicity was investigated on the infiltration capacity of four soil types; normal, saline, sodic and saline-sodic. Bulk density, porosity, moisture holding capacity, and texture of soil samples were also determined in the laboratory. The results showed that the infiltration capacity was highest in normal soil (0.17cm/hr). The infiltration capacity of saline-sodic soil under different vegetation e.g. tree plantations, grass cover and bare soil differed significantly although other physical characteristics were not significantly different.
