Caractérisation physico-chimique des sols salés de la plaine de la Mina (Relizane)

Abstract

Saline soils are subject to specific soil processes that soil scientist must interpret and define. For this, the approach is to describe morphologically the horizons of the profile in question, to explain phenomena and to give it an identity is classifying. The objective of this work is the study of three soil profiles that were implanted at a study plot in the plain of Mina (Relizane). These profiles have undergone a detailed morphological description and physical and chemical analyzes, as determined in the laboratory. The profiles were then classified in the French classification system CPCS (1967) which places this soil category at the top of the hierarchy (Class). While the WRB classification system (2006), places this soil category at the highest level.
