Abstract

The aim of the project was to determine the time lag between the clearing of native mallee (Eucalyptus spp.) vegetation and the commencement of the resultant rise in the underlying saline groundwater. The holes were located beneath mallee vegetation, and on land which had been cleared in the last 9 to 22 years, and has since been used for dryland cropping and grazing. The samples collected were selectively analysed for water content, chloride concentration, matric and total suction, deuterium concentration, elemental potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, sodium, magnesium, aluminium and iron concentrations, and particle size composition. -from Authors
