Fig. 5. Salinity tests: (A and B) Tree 1 perlite shallow probe (#8, 200 mm) {theta}perlite and {sigma}perlite and (C and E) Trees 1 and 2 (70 mm) averaged {theta}stem and {sigma}stem during a salinizing-leaching cycle (maximal {sigma}drainage = 5.2 dS m–1, DOY 136–157), and (D and F) during a second salinizing-leaching cycle (maximal {sigma}drainage = 13.2 dS m–1, DOY 180–212). Boxed values indicate timing and {sigma}irrigation.
