If the book Collapse is 10 % on target this issue is trivial. Salt
will kill Australia. Fresh water and habitat destruction of all minor
and potential farming areas. Not good as 20 million living in cities
are dependent on run off . Wonder if top down can fix British vision.


Please tell me I'm wrong.

1 square yard of soil contains 200 Lb's of salt.

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity_in_Australia
.. . . the Saltgrow, a hybrid gum tree, is being utilized within
Australia to try to reverse damage within affected high-salinity
areas.[4] The tree has been highly successful, and has been attributed
to be able to completely remove salinity within damaged areas and
allowed new grasses and shrubs that are not salt resistant, to grow.

Re-foresting would help.
