saline Explanation: Guardando su Internet, pare che il termine "saline" di per sé implichi che ci sia un eccesso di cloruro di sodio: "Specialty Definitions: Saline Domain Definitions Food & Agriculture Term applied to soils inwhich an excess of salt has accumulated. Such soils are not suitable for vines. Source: European Union. (references)" Reference: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/saline |

highly saline Explanation: another alternative. At the end of the day, we're talking about salt pans created by the evaporation of salty water, so I don't think you need to wory too much about the exact term you use - any of the answers given here will be fine, it's a matter of personal preference. |
