Suitable species for the reclamation and sustainability of saline land in southern Australia
Introduction Dryland and irrigation induced-salinity remain serious environmental problems in many parts of the world and may worsen in scale due to the effects of climate change.In Australia,it is believed that around 5.7 million hectares of agricultural land are currently affected by dryland salinity-the majority of which is in Western Australia.In addition,due to a prolonged period of drought and water shortage,there are now large areas of land in south eastern Australia that can no longer be irrigated and which are potentially saline.Selecting suitable grassland species to regenerate and rehabilitate saline land throughout southern Australia is a research priority to ensure that production and sustainability is maintained.
