Abstract: Highlights: [•] Topography and land-use strongly affected salinization patterns. [•] Land-use had a stronger influence than topography on salinity patterns. [•] Tree plantations stored >7 times more salts in soils than croplands and grasslands. [•] Resistivity imaging allowed a cost-effective description of salinity patterns and mechanisms.
