Dear Mr English,
Our Department is involved in projects in China. Looking at your very
interesting information we would greatly appreciate further information
on your and your colleagues experiences and findings on salinity
in irrigation areas in China.
You will find my email and postal address below.

I will send a copy of a report done by one of my colleagues on a
follow=up visit to the same location. I do not have a formal report,
only notes and letters. It will be mailed today.

OSMOTIC SHOCK (Mike Schulz <SCHULZM@salty.agvic.gov.au>)

From: Mike Schulz <SCHULZM@salty.agvic.gov.au>
Subject: OSMOTIC SHOCK
In conducting experiments with Atripex nummularia I have transferred
plants directly from nutrient solution to which no NaCl was added, to
solutions salinised with 10g NaCl/l (The base water was channel
water). The leaf expansion rate on the transferred plants was less
than that on plants grown continuously in the saline solution.
My interest is in the effect that such an osmotic shock would
have on the ion permeability of root membanes, and subsequently on
ion accumulation in leaf tissue.
Can anyone tell me by what mode of action 'osmotic shock' works ?,
and how a step wise increase i solution salinity purports to overcome
it ?

Hello salty dogs, I have just subscribed to your list. I live in
South East Australia and am a senior lecturer at Ballarat University.
My involvement with salinity is through soils, hydrology and dryland
salting in some of our catchments. I have an interest in sodicity
through work carried out previously with mole drains in soils that
were slightly sodic. I am also interested in sodicity in relation to
reclamation of saline land and the associated dangers of structural
collapse once salts are leached. I have spent a fair bit of time on
salinity management as a member of a regional community committee.
I would be interested to hear of any work relating to waterlogging
and salinity in which waterlogging rather than groundwater pressure
has been a major influence on the spread of salt.
Regards, Richard MacEwan

Dear Salinity Experts,
I am working on reclamation of land disturbed by mining activity
and have an interest in soil physics, water movement and solute transport
and the modelling thereof.

Subject: Introduction
A few details about myself:
Dr Tony Dare-Edwards, a pedologist! and lecturer at rural university in Wagga Wagga NSW
Australia. Most of our students are taught by correspondence teaching
mode; mainly printed packages but we are trying to develop
internet access teaching.
My interests are in the Quaternary legacy which has so influenced the
soil formation across much of southern Australia. In particular I am
working on the origin of the sodic soils which are so common
overhere. Aeolian accession of sodium onto stable soil surfaces
through the late Pleistocene and into the early Holocene is my
prefered scenario at present to explain the sodicity of the soils in
the Wagga Wagga region. The area is blanketed by windblown clay
which was deposited in thick sheets in distinct phases during the
Quaternary; along with the clay came calcium, sodium and manganese.
Anyhow I had better stop before I bore you all.
Cheers. Tony Dare-Edwards

Welcome Ali Maibody. I have just finished a review paper on the genetics of salt tolerance and am looking for a couple of peer reviewers. Any volunteers?
The Us Salinity Lab is currently working on their Home Page efforts
but we are hampered by communications problems through the university.
