title: Interaction between microorganisms, chemical composition and environment in salt-affected soils.
abstract: The soil microbial population, determined over a period of 19 months and the elemental chemical composition measured by X-ray fluorescence techniques were followed in two uncultivated salt-affected areas of Greece, namely Lantza and Klidi. The ecological conditions at Lantza remained stable during the period of study while at Klidi some ecological variations occurred. The present results indicate that in Lantza soil both the microbial population and the elemental chemical composition of the soil remained constant during the period of study while in Klidi alterations in both were observed.
