The results show high concentrations of both Na and K compared to local baseline soil. The content of Na is higher than observed for nonsaline-irrigated biomass reflecting the salinity of the drainage water. The alkali earth elements as well as other alkali trace elements are, however, not markedly affected by the salinity of the irrigation water. The transition elements Cu and Zn are enriched only in the herbaceous feedstock compared to nonsaline biomass. Sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus are markedly enriched in the saline feedstock. The ash content of toxic elements invariably exceeds the concentrations in the baseline soil for Cu, As, Se, Cd, Sb, and Pb. Compared to nonsaline biomass ashes, Cu is relatively enriched in the herbaceous feedstock ashes, As only in eucalyptus wood, and Cd, Sb, and Pb in woody feedstock. Selenium is relatively enriched in all saline feedstock. Only the concentrations of Cd in woody saline-irrigated feedstock may potentially exceed environmental guideline concentrations and may, thus, warrant caution for using saline biomass for soil amendment.
