Where are halophytes found?
in salt but i don't know what the maximum salt consecration is.
What are the plants that can grow in saline soil?
Their internal osmolarity has to at least equal the osmolarity of the external environment or the cell will lose water to osmosis and die.
What are the examples of halophytes plants?
A halophyte is a plant that naturally grows where it is affected by salinity in the root area or by salt spray, such as in saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs, and seashores.
What plants cannot live in salt water?
Most terrestrial plants cannot survive in saltwater due to their inability to tolerate high concentrations of salt. However, some specialized plants called halophytes have adapted to grow in saltwater or saline environments. These plants have mechanisms to excrete salt or tolerate its presence, such as succulent leaves or salt glands.
Can plants grow in salt water?
Some seeds (mangrove and coconut) can. But in most cases the presence of salt causes moisture in a plant to come out of the plant (by osmosis) and this means that the seed/plant can not grow in a salty environment unless it has special adaptations for dealing with salt.

How might halophytes be important in agriculture?
Halophytes might be important in agriculture because they can be grown in areas where the salty soil is usually unsuitable for raising crops.
What are the physiological adaptations of halophytes?
same as xerophytes or most of it
What are the plants that live in saline habitats?
halophytes or halophytic plants
What are the plants that have adapted to the deserts environment?
Xerophytes, halophytes and succulents
What grasses tolerate salts?
The so called halophytes plants.
How are halophytes able to tolerate salty soil?
The halophytes are able to tolerate salty soil because they can concentrate salt in their root cells and the high salt concentration keeps water from diffusing out of the cells into the surrounding salty soil.
What are some native plants of a desert?
a cactus is one and a good number of species of Acasia, Casurina, Calotropis and some halophytes.
How do seagrasses differ from halophytes?
Seagrasses are edible and provide food for some ecosystem inhabitants, being heavily grazed by turtles, manatees etc.
What plants grow best in beach areas?
Probably Halophytes, as they are able to metabolise salt or brack water and are normally found in arid and harsh environments.
What has the author Robert E Esch written?
Robert E. Esch has written: 'The isolation and characterization of membrane fractions of ectothiorhodospira halophila' -- subject(s): Halophytes
What methods are used to improve the quality of land?
organic fertilizers in the form of biomass can be used to improve the soil and land quality. Use of halophytes can also improve the land quality.
