Abstract:
In this study, the WET soil moisture meter (hereinafter referred to as WET) was applied for the first time to investigate the ECp (pore water conductivity) of soils in the northern Yinchuan plain, and to evaluate the distribution characteristics of soil salinization in this area. The results showed that only a small part of the northern Yinchuan plain has non-saline soil and other parts have saline soils, especially in the central part of Huinong area, Huangquqiao and Lingsha of Pingluo area, and the north part of Helan area where the soil has very high salinity. The research results from this study were consistent with those from previous studies. Therefore, with little changes in the water contents and soil pH values, the application of WET-based method on the soil salinization is accurate and reliable technically.
