Very few countries in Asia couldescape from hazard of salinization. This paper deals with various salt-affected soils spreading in East Asiaand its neighboring regions (including China, Japan, Kampuchea, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,Republic of Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Burma, Thailand and Vietnam).
