Question
A soil scientist collects a sample from a field that has been continuously irrigated with poor-quality water over many years. On testing, the soil shows a high concentration of soluble salts in the soil solution and a high electrical conductivity value, but a near-neutral pH and good soil structure that has not been significantly damaged. Based on these characteristics, which type of problem soil is this field most likely to be?
