Distribution of saline environments. Coastal regions 20 m below the mean sea level were mapped using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land/sea mask data using Google Earth and ArcGIS [129, 130]. The distribution of saline or sodic soils was taken from the Harmonized World Global Soil Database [30]. The Koeppen and Geiger (classes Am, Aw, B, Csa, Csb, Cwa, and Cfa) data show tropical to (semi-)arid regions with dry climate or high seasonality [131]
