Introduction: Soil salinization is increasing across developing world countries and agricultural production is decreasing as a result of this stress. Climate change could adversely affect soil salinization trend through the decrease in rainfall and increased evapotranspiration in arid regions. Policy and decision makers require continuous and quantitative monitoring of soil salinity to adapt with the adverse effects of climate change and increasing need for food. Indices derived from near surface or satellite based sensors are increasingly applied for monitoring of soil salinity so a considerable number of these indices are introduced already for soil salinity monitoring. …
