There are many areas on this world which might lend themselves to
agricultural development and which are, at the present, not used
for this purpose. Two of the most obvious are desert areas where
the salt concentration is very high, both land and water areas.
With the development of new approaches and careful research,
considerably more productive capability could be developed in
these. This volume points out some of the possible approaches as
well as results ob tained by a combination of creative research,
practical understanding of the problems involved and inventive ways
to overcome some of the handicaps of utilizing biosaline areas.
This volume grew out of the "International Workshop on Biosaline
Research" organized by Mr. Gilbert Devey of the Division of Interna
tional programs of the National Science Foundation and directed by
Dr. Anthony San Pietro of the Department of Biology of Indiana Uni
versity. Since the proceedings of the workshop appeared somewhat
limited, it was thought to broaden the spectra of chapters and in
clude several topics briefly discussed at the Kiawah workshop."
