Abstract

Data on soil texture, lime, gypsum, cation-exchange capacity, salinity, alkalinity, hydraulic conductivity and their interrelations and variations are discussed. An equation expresses the relationship between exchangeable Na and cations soluble in 1: 1 extracts. Special attention is paid to whether alkalization and structure deterioration will occur during reclamation. Gypsum contents seem to be adequate for replacement of Na by Ca during leaching but temporary decrease in permeability in early stages of leaching may occur due to retarded exchange reactions caused by the nature of the clay minerals.
