Salt-Tolerant Plants
Salt-tolerant plants, also known as halophytes, are species that can thrive in high-salinity environments, such as coastal areas, salt marshes, and saline soils. These plants have developed specialized adaptations that allow them to manage excess salt, including salt excretion mechanisms and modified root systems that can filter out salt.
Examples of salt-tolerant plants include mangroves, seagrasses, and certain types of cacti. These plants play a crucial role in their ecosystems by stabilizing soil, providing habitat for wildlife, and improving water quality. Their ability to survive in harsh conditions makes them important for ecological restoration and agriculture in saline areas.
