The decline of live volume at age 10.4 years per unit increase in
soil salinity (ECe, 0–150 cm) was similar for E. globulus and E. grandis
(p > 0.05), and nearly four times (p < 0.05) greater than that for E.
camaldulensis (Fig. 7a). Estimated LAI at age 10.4 years respectively
for the low and high salinity treatments averaged 1.7 and 1.5 for
Fig. 5. Effect of irrigation water salinity on survival of E. camaldulensis, E. globulus
and E. grandis over time (a) high salinity (groundwater) treatment relative to
low salinity (channel water) treatment, and (b) average survival. Bars indicate±1

E. camaldulensis, 1.8 and 1.4 for E. globulus and 1.5 and 1.3 for E.
grandis.
