Effect of Soil Salinity on Plant Growth
Description
Result of an experiment conducted to investigate the effect of salinity level in soil on the growth of plants.
Format
A data frame with 24 observations on the following 3 variables.
- salt
amount of salt applied to the plot (in parts per million)
- biomass
total biomass of plot at the end of the study period (units unknown)
- block
field in which the plot was located
Details
From the source (see below): "Experimental fields of land were located at an agricultural field station, and each field was divided into six smaller plots. Each of the smaller plots was treated with a different amount of salt (measured in ppm) and the biomass at the end of the experiment was recorded."
