This book provides the first comprehensive overview of saline and
alkaline soils in Latin America, known for having one of the most
extensive surface of salt-affected soils in the world. It is
organized along two main axes: soils and vegetation. The book
discusses the occurrence of such soils in the region, focusing
mainly in management strategies for their sustainable use, and it
presents accounts of natural vegetation and crops in the various
environments of the region. Social impacts of such conditions and
ongoing projects to overcome them are considered. Likewise, the
book highlights physiological mechanisms that are responsible for
the negative effects these soils exert on crops and forest
resources and determine vegetation distribution in them. Plant
breeding challenges and new perspectives for such environments are
discussed. Technologies such as irrigation and drainage are
included. The readership includes soil and plant scientists, as
well as policy makers.
