Examples
-
This degradation may also be the result of poor irrigation in an arid climate where the salts brought in by irrigation build up in the soil resulting in salination and alkalinisation.
-
In addition to salt concentration (Salinisation), the phenomenon of alkalinisation may occur, i.e. calcium ions are replaced by sodium ions in the absorbant soil components and this leads to degradation of soil structure and reduced permeability.
-
This may relate to two distinct pathogenetic mechanisms: (1) in case of unprotected intercourse alkalinisation of the vaginal niche enhances a shift from lactobacilli-dominated microflora to a BV-like type of microflora and (2) in case of unprotected and protected intercourse mechanical transfer of perineal enteric bacteria is enhanced by coitus.
