Halophytes are those plant species that can tolerate high salt
concentrations. There are diversified species of halophytes suited for
growth in various saline regions around the world, e.g. coastal saline
soil, soils of mangrove forests, wetlands, marshlands, lands of arid
and semiarid regions, and agricultural fields. These plants can be
grown in soil and water containing high salt concentrations and
unsuitable for conventional crops, and can be good sources of food,
fuel, fodder, fiber, essential oils, and medicine. Moreover,
halophytes can be exploited as significant and major plant species for
the desalination and restoration of saline soils, as well as
phytoremediation. This book highlights recent advances in exploring
the unique features of halophytes and their potential uses in our
changing environment.
