“…This confi rms fi ndings of Ungar (1998), who stated that this species was the angiosperm that was able to grow at the most extreme end of the salinity gradient. The quick replacement of Salicornia europaea by Elymus athericus in the new salt marsh (as expected by Hoffmann et al 2006a), because in the old salt marsh Elymus athericus occurs at the same elevation as Salicornia europaea in the new salt marsh, might therefore still take some time.…”

“…It is believed that salt tolerant plants may be of potential use in these degraded agricultural and forest areas to produce food, fiber and other commodities. The influence of physicochemical and biotic factors is important to the distribution and establishment of halophytes (Ungar, 1998). In natural forest ecosystems, soils rarely contain an excess of salt because of natural drainage and flushing by precipitation.…”

“…plant zonation, Tiner 1993; macrofaunal burrowing, Bertness 1985). Interspecies competition and differences in plant tolerance of various physicochemical variables dictate host plant distribution patterns in the intertidal zone (Bertness 1988, 1991a,b, Levine et al 1998, Ungar 1998, presumably with substantial impacts on microbial diversity and distributions. However, the impacts that these different environmental features have on plant-associated microbial communities or important functional assemblages therein are not understood.…”
