Agroforestry for the Management of Waterlogged Saline Soils and Poor-Quality Waters

Land degradation caused by salinity and waterlogging is a global problem afflicting about one billion hectares and endangering the food security of at least 75 countries. Since the social, economic and environmental costs of on and/off-farm reclamation techniques are high, agroforestry is now emergi...
