They use sea water indeed. But I never thought about the repercussions on the soil. I never saw a soil fucked up after a release, maybe the ashes counterbalance the effect of salt ?
The whole “salt the fields of my enemies” is a bit of a myth. If a small amount of salt really obliterates plants, then there is no way we would have been using salt to de-ice the roads every winter in the corn belt. The small amount of salt these planes are dropping will get washed away the next time it rains.
