Soil salinity describes the amount of salt present in soil at the aqueous (water) phase. Salt accumulates in the soil during a process known as salinization. Salinization occurs when the water table rises and consequently natural salt is brought to the surface. Because the buildup of salt can harm plants or animals in the environment, soil salinity is often monitored in areas where crops are grown.
