It has been suggested that to address this issue by restoring hydrological balance, large areas of agricultural land need to be vegetated with perennial plants. One of the most agriculturally productive ways to do this is to introduce perennial pastures, both into upslope groundwater Pasture ecology -- Western Australia Salt-tolerant crops -- Western Australia Soils, Salts in -- Western Australia Strawberry clover -- Effect of salt on Strawberry clover Variation Salinity tolerance Pasture ecology
