found: Work cat.: Rogers, G. Ecosystem-based conservation strategy for Central Otago's saline patches, 2000:abstr. (inland saline ecosystem; salt pans are nearly extinct in Otago, salt meanders and salt plains are much reduced and heavily infested with weeds, while salt knolls and aprons dominate the relicts of the ecosystem; three broad soil types: saline, sodic, and saline-sodic) p. 6 (saline ecosystem protection; saline soils, salt pans, sodicity, and alkalinity; salty-soil conservation) p. 7 (saline patch geomorphic units: salt pan; salt meander channel; salt plain; salt knoll; salt apron) p. 8 (suggest "saline ecosystem" as a unifying taxonomic and functional term; the inland saline ecosystem, in which salt is derived from rock sources, is differentiated from coastal saline ecosystems, in which salts are derived from sea water; the inland saline ecosystem is expressed as "saline patches", which may be either "saline vegetated patches" or "saline bare-earth patches"; saline patches is a generic habitat term that embraces the geomorphic-based units that distinguish the geophysical variability)
