Saltland Capability Assessment: Targeting Plants to Landscapes to Increase Profitability by Bennett, Sarita, Barrett-lennard, Edward

“…Research conducted at four trial sites in the medium rainfall (350-550 mm/yr) zone of Western Australia, with river saltbush, small-leaf bluebush, samphire, Rhodes grass, saltwater couch, puccinellia, tall wheat grass and lucerne, led to the development of a saltland capability assessment tool based on the following assessments; 1) level of salinity in the subsoil (25–50 cm depth), 2) depth to the watertable, and 3) presence of plant “indicator species.” …”

The fate of human enteric pathogens following the land application of biosolids in agriculture by Schwarz, Karen Rosemary

“…A key finding from the present study was that enteric microorganisms were detectable for longer in the soil (6 to 7 months) than the plant leaves (less than 1 month) therefore enteric pathogens on plant leaves would be of most risk to livestock where crops such as hay or lucerne are grown. Where withholding periods are maintained the risk of pathogen ingestion was considered to be low. …”
