Providing an overview of soil salinity assessment using remote sensing technologies, this book analyzes basic issues of remote detection, such as the spectral behavior of salt type and vegetation influence. This helps readers better understand the concepts of remote detection and the mapping of salt affected areas. Each of the currently available remote sensing platforms is evaluated for its advantages and its disadvantages. International contributors present the latest technological developments and image classification techniques used to detect and to map this form of land degradation. Color images included on an accompanying CD-ROM enhance the material discussed in the text.

  • Presents land degradation problems by salinization
  • Evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of currently available remote sensing platforms
  • Provides salinization cases from different countries
  • Includes color images on CD
