Effect of Soil Salinity on Plant Growth

Description

Result of an experiment conducted to investigate the effect of salinity level in soil on the growth of plants.

Format

A data frame with 24 observations on the following 3 variables.

salt

amount of salt applied to the plot (in parts per million)

biomass

total biomass of plot at the end of the study period (units unknown)

block

field in which the plot was located

Details

From the source (see below): "Experimental fields of land were located at an agricultural field station, and each field was divided into six smaller plots. Each of the smaller plots was treated with a different amount of salt (measured in ppm) and the biomass at the end of the experiment was recorded."
