Salinity tolerance
The salt tolerance of a plant is often defined as the degree to which the plant can withstand, without significant adverse effects, moderate or high concentrations of salt in water on its leaves or in the soil within reach of its roots. In practice, salt tolerance is a relative term.

Tidal marches
A tidal marsh (also known as a type of “tidal wetland”) is a marsh found along rivers, coasts, and estuaries which floods and drains by the tidal movement of the adjacent estuary, sea, or ocean. Tidal marshes experience many overlapping persistent cycles, including diurnal and semi-diurnal tides, day-night temperature fluctuations, spring-neap tides, seasonal vegetation growth and decay, upland runoff, decadal climate variations, and centennial to millennial trends in sea level and climate.
