The relationship between salinity and development of salt—affected soil formed in Shong Liao plain was studied with the method of analysis of correilation and path coefficient. This paper laid bare the formation, characteristic of saline—alkali soil and defined the dependence relationship between salinization and alkalization. The major fatter which affect the alkalization of scils has been found. The authors believe that salinizati on and alkalization of saline—alkali soil in Shong Liao plain is in progress and develops at same time.
