Regolith-Landform mapping: A tool for the strategic management of dryland salinity

K. Harvey, Cara Moore

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Regolith is of great importance from a land management perspective, as it is the dominant media through which shallow fluid flow takes place and its characteristics help determine the types of agricultural practices that can be sustained (Southwell 2001). The make-up of regolith materials also has an influence on the types of landforms that are observed in an area (Ollier & Pain 1996). This means that the composition of the regolith influences geomorphology.
