Halophytic agriculture
Revision as of 17:29, 5 July 2017 by Thebastidge (talk | contribs) (Plants growing on or near the sea require special biological adaptations to tolerate or use the salt and mineral content present in seawater. These plants are known as "halophytes" or "salt lovers".)
Winds carry salt spray inland, leaving salt deposits on plants. Salt causes water to move out of the plants in a process called exosmosis. Especially on young leaves, this often results in the marginal burning and loss of leaves in non-salt-tolerant plants
