"As #hurricanes get stronger, #StormSurges are bringing #saltwater to #farmland—and leaving salt there once waters evaporate.

#SoilSalinization occurs when seawater from floods eventually evaporates but leaves behind its salt content, which accumulates over years in the soil. With enough flooding, the soil on farms could become so salinized that crops can no longer be grown on that land."
