Other claims from this paper (13)

Association A salt-balance model showed reduced evapotranspiration under salinity.
Intervention effect Leaching fractions rose from 24% in controls to 51% in the saltiest treatment.
Mechanism Freely draining soils and irrigation management maintained low to moderate soil salinity.
Mechanism High leaching fractions minimized the salt treatment effect on fruit yield.
Association Soil salinity increased nearly linearly with irrigation-water salinity in year one.
Observation Soil salinity fluctuated seasonally afterward.
Observation Very few soil salinity readings exceeded 3 dS/m.
Intervention effect leaf Na increased during the first four years under the highest salt treatment.
Intervention effect Cl concentrations increased during the first four years under the highest salt treatment.
Association Yield was very weakly related to soil salinity.
Association Yield fell as foliar Cl concentration increased.
Association In year nine, leaf Na was associated with a predicted 17% reduction in yield.
Association In year nine, leaf Na was associated with a predicted 59% reduction in annual trunk-diameter growth.
