There are two approaches used in the mapping and monitoring of  saline and alkaline soils. The first 
approach is based on measuring soil properties with the use of  proximal soil sensing technologies 
including electromagnetic induction (EMI). The second approach involves the identification of  
soil-landscape  relationships  in  different  environmental-agricultural  situations  followed  by  the 
mapping of  such relationships with the use of  traditional and digital mapping and remote sensing 
techniques.
