✦ Synopsis

An explanation is given of the fundamental processes of soil salinization and degradation induced by irrigation of poorly-drained river valleys in and regions, and of why these processes were practically uncontrollable under the circumstances of ancient Southern Mesopotamia

## Abstract The __S__‐theory for soil physical quality is introduced. It is shown how values of __S__ can be determined from the water retention characteristic curve. It is also explained how, when experimental data are not available, pedotransfer functions can be used to obtain estimates of __S__.

If the systematic spatial variability of soils in a chronosequence is identified and accounted for, the accuracy of quantitative data derived from soil chronosequence studies will be increased. A sample design using landscape positions with minimal variability could result in more accurate chronofun
