Drawing on resources

The methods of evaluation suggested in this module to help answer the question "Is salinity a problem?" together comprise only one of numerous possible approaches.

For further assistance in evaluating the salinity-related aspects of your landscape's water, soil, and plants, consider contacting a horticultural specialist with the University of California Cooperative Extension (http://ucanr.org/). Also consider reading some of the following resources:
