Tóth, T., M. Kertész and L. Pásztor. 1998. New approaches in salinity/sodicity mapping in Hungary. Agrokémia és Talajtan. 47:76-86. We concluded that with the increase of secondary salinization and of the importance of preserving natural salt affected landscapes the mapping of salt affected soils can satisfy the growing demand for spatial and attribute information at limited expenditure. We emphasize that for the optimization of mapping auxilliary information on spatial and temporal pattern of soil properties should be taken into consideration, and vegetation maps, remotely sensed images and geographic information system should be applied.
