Description
Summary:This work deals with the determination of total selenium content in salty soils perimeter H'madéna located in Lower Cheliff. This work focuses on the analysis and exploitation of the data obtained on the solution of 36 samples from 7 profiles. The main results show that the salinity of soils studied is variable. It covers a wide range of salinity varying between 0.72 dS/m and 51.7 dS/m. Selenium has a specific and independent evolution of salinity and pH variation. The levels of Se are between 0.971 mg/kg to 7.08 mg/kg. These levels are considered high compared to agricultural land use. The change in selenium levels in soil is not related to land use and water stagnation areas.
