摘要: / Several lines of evidence were followed to assess the risk salinization after tree clearing in upper Burdekin River basin north Queensland. Conceptual, biophysical process-based approaches (pedological interpretation, event analysis, one-dimensional water balance modeling, and Boolean spatial analysis) compared empirical methods field evidence. The convergence all conceptual reasoning conclusion that there exists a Queensland, consistent with naturally occurring waterlogging salinity, strengthens argument against clearing.
