Management of gypsiferous soils
In many zones of the arid and semi-arid regions gypsiferous soils coincide with densely populated areas. Various factors such as low fertility , small water retention capacity , shallow depth to a hardplan, vertical crusting and the salinity of these soils limit their intensive use. This volume aims to summarize and update our knowledge of the origin and classification of gypsiferous soils, of their physical and chemical characteristics, fertility status and ways of improving their productivity and controling hazards associated with the installation of drainage and irrigation systems
