However, soil salinity perturbations in crop root zones at greater depths (1–2 m) have not been adequately studied. However, improved ML algorithms such as LGBM, GBRT, and XGBoost, particularly deep learning algorithms, remain underexplored.

Future research should focus on three breakthroughs: (1) developing zonal drainage design algorithms based on spatial variability of soil texture, (2) quantify- ing the contribution of crop root-zone hydraulic enhancements to salinity redistribution, and (3) constructing a multi-scale water and salt transport model coupled with remote sensing inversion data to achieve real-time early warning of salinity risk and dynamic control.
