Buzueva A.S., Gubarev D.I. CHANGES IN THE DEGREE OF SOIL SALINIZATION IN THE AGROLANDSCAPE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGHLY MINERALIZED GROUNDWATER // Arid Ecosystems. 2025. Vol. 31. № 2 (103). P. 45-52. | PDF

The degree of distribution, the level of rise of ground waters and their chemical composition mainly depend on the terrain and on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of precipitation. In conditions of increased relief (middle of the slope), the groundwater level is observed lower, relative to the lower part of the slope. On average, during the study, the difference in groundwater occurrence between a well in the middle of the field and a well in the lower part of the field is 4.4 times (343%). In conditions of increased temperature conditions in winter, precipitation is observed in liquid form, as a result of which intrasoil runoff increases, which in turn affects the degree of mineralization of groundwater. The higher the concentration of salts in groundwater, the higher the degree of salinization of soil horizons. The predominant ions in the mineralization of natural waters also dominate the number of ions of soil salts.
