Salinity: Electrical Conductivity and Total Dissolved Solids
Abstract
This chapter describes prevalent laboratory methods for determining salinity based on measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) or total dissolved solids after evaporation at 180°C. It discusses various methods for determining the concentrations of individual inorganic solutes in waters and soil extracts in common use in laboratories having modern instrumentation. The extraction ratios are easier to make than that of saturation, but they are less well related to field soil water composition and content. More importantly, salinity and compositional errors from dispersion, hydrolysis, cation exchange, and mineral dissolution increase as the water/soil ratio increases. Soil salinity may be estimated from measurement of the EC of the saturated soil-paste and estimates of saturation percentage. The amount of total dissolved solids in a sample is determined by weighing the residue obtained after evaporating a sample that has been filtered to remove particulate matter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
