Halophytes are specialized plants that thrive in saline environments, such as coastal areas, salt marshes, and salt flats. They have adapted to high salt concentrations in the soil and water, allowing them to survive where most other plants cannot. These adaptations include salt excretion mechanisms, specialized root systems, and the ability to store excess salt in their tissues. Common examples of halophytes include mangroves, saltbush, and seablite. These plants play a crucial role in their ecosystems by stabilizing soil, providing habitat for wildlife, and contributing to carbon sequestration. Their resilience makes them important for research on climate change and land reclamation.
