Short summary
Potential management-induced soil salinization in golf courses in semi-arid landscape was evaluated and salinity further examined using the portable x-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometer. Soil electrical conductivity, exchangeable sodium percentage, and sodium adsorption ratio were for the most part significantly higher in the managed areas of the golf facilities. PXRF findings predicted salinity and suggested possible differences in chemical species and sources that contribute to soil salinity
