PPT-Salinity

Unit Introduction 110415 By the end of this unit you will be able to Describe the effects of a salt on the specific heat of water Explain how and why the oceans are saline Diagram how salinity can change and where. November 2012 Salinity is a measure of the content of salts in soil or water. Salts are highly soluble in surface feature of vast areas of the Australian landscape, stored deep in soils or as surface isotopologues. . Guillaume Leduc . (CEREGE, France). Julian Sachs . (.

Salinity is the accumulation of salts (often dominated by sodium chloride) in soil and water to levels that impact on human and natural assets (e.g. plants, animals, aquatic By Karen A. Bishop.
