    • SummaryEach of the major native halophytes was found to grow in soils with a definite range of total soluble salts. The descending ranking of the various species for soil salinity and ground water mineral content, when they were dominant, was:Halocnemum strobilaceum, Suaeda spp.,Seidlitzia rosmarinus, andCressa cretica. Salsola vermiculata indicates low salinity in sandy soils and low to high salinity in heavier soils.Prosopis farcta andAlhagi maurorum can grow in both saline and non-saline… CONTINUE READING
