- Soluble salts, which can move with gravity-induced movement of water, and salts retained in soils (especially sodium) can adversely influence onsite and offsite natural resources and ecosystems - that is, soils, surface waters, subsurface waters, wildlife, and plant ecosystem sustainability. When a turfgrass site is irrigated with saline irrigation water, salinity management (a) is the most complex stress management issue that the turfgrass manager will confront and (b) requires that daily management for turfgrass performance and site use be tightly coupled with long-term environmental, economic, and social sustainability based on proper science. The best management practice (BMP) concept, considered the gold standard management approach for any individual environmental issue, is used in this book, since it is a whole-ecosystem (holistic), science-based salinity management approach that allows all possible management options to be considered and implemented on a site-specific basis.
