∙ 13y agoThey need to survive 2 stressors - flooding (anoxia) and salt Active transport of salt at the roots (salt exclusion) is the primary adaptive feature, often in combination with water conserving strategies: leaf succulence, high leaf turnover, osmoregulatory compounds in the leaf.
To survive flooding, which causes low oxygen in the root zone, needed for roots to respire, they have aerial root structures with gas-exchange vessels (lenticles) that ounmp oxygen to the root zone.
