Some plants are better adapted to saline (or salty) soil than others. Certain grasses thrive in very saline soils, whereas others simply perish. Salt will kill plants that are not adapted to saline soils, because salt is hydrophilic it will leach more water out of the plants' cells than what they can take in from moisture conditions.
Thus the answer really depends on what species of plants you're referring to, as well as the growing conditions, soil type and quality (including level of salinity), etc.

Why does the color of light affect plant growth?
the color of light does affect plants growth because the plant absorbs certain types of wavelengths of light
What problems does salinity cause to the environment?
salt absorbs moisture from the ground this prevents plant growth also salt crystals are sharp and damage tender growth this causes erotion.
What is an independemt variable?
An independent variable is the variable in the experiment that affects the other variable. For example, in an experiment that tests the affect of the amount of fertilizer on plant growth, the amount of fertilizer is the independent variable and the plant growth is the dependent variable. This is because the plant growth DEPENDS on the amount of fertilizer.
What type of experiment will you conduct on different liquids affect plant growth?
no it does not affect the growth of plants because the liquids are actually good for the plants.
How does the position of the sun affect the growth of a plant?
Plants depend on the sun for energy. They will angle themselves so that their leaves get the maximum sun exposure. This is called phototrophic growth. Plants will grow towards the sun.

Does any other liquid affect plant growth?
Yes, water is one liquid that affects plant growth. Along with plain water, salt water and carbonated water can affect the growth of plants.
Does salt water affect bean plant growth?
Yes, salt water does affect bean plant growth. Many think that it can make them grow better than regular water, but the water can affect the natural sodium in the bean making them taste saltier.
Does salt affect corn?
Yes, by adding salt to the water, it prevents the growth of the plant and slows/stops its intake of water, killing it.
Does fresh water affect plant growth?
the salt water is in the soil than the roots will be waekned and it will die
Does saltwater affect plant growth?
Yes! Salt in water decreases a plants growth, and can even make growth impossible. This would make an interesting science experiment!
Do Bacteria Affect Plant Growth?
