“…Blue panicum showed high tolerance to irrigation water salinity in terms of growth and production, as has been observed in many studies [3,4]. Furthermore, in terms of the biochemical properties, which did not affect the chlorophyll a, b, and proline leaf content and increased the carotenoid content only in the T2 (6 dS m −1 ) treatment.…”

“…The top-quality forages of saline habitats include some species from Fabaceae family, such as Melilotus officinalis, Hedysarum alpinum, Trifolium repens, Caragana sinica, Astragalus adsurgens, etc., whereas some grass species such as Urochondra setulosa, Sporobolus helvolus, and Leptochloa uninervia could be good forage in saline agriculture (Qasim et al 2010). The high percentage of halophytes in the Poaceae family can be a good starting point for their possible utilization as forage crops able to produce high consumable biomass and an opportunity for enhanced livestock production in arid areas (Atia et al 2019). Cow feeding with halophytic grass Panicum turgidum resulted in better meat quality indicating potential use of halophytic grasses as forages in livestock production in arid areas (Abideen et al 2011).…”

“…Seeds of Salicornia fruticosa, Kochia scoparia, and some other halophytes are source of fats and fat-soluble vitamins of their good quality edible oil (Geissler et al 2013). According to Atia et al (2019), Portulaca oleracea is rich in omega-3 FA which are known for immune system enhancement and role in prevention of the heart attack, and species Salicornia bigelovii is cultivated as a new oilseed crop because of seeds containing about 30% of oil with very pleasant, nutty aroma and higher content of linoleic acid comparing to sunflower oil. Chenopodium quinoa is considered as promising pseudocereal, which could be irrigated with saline water (Nanduri et al 2019).…”

Saline habitats as primary type of ecologically valuable ecosystems play an important role in the range of ecosystem services from supporting and regulating to provisioning and cultural. The aim of this chapter is to overview the main groups of ecosystem services relevant to saline ecosystems. Main characteristics of saline habitats include the presence of salt-tolerant plants and halophytic vegetation occurring on different salt-affected soils. Halophytes have certain commercial use and value, as food, fodder, and source of fiber, highly nutritious oilseeds, biomass, etc. Of particular interest is potential of halophytes to produce bioactive metabolites, which can be used in production of pharmaceuticals and food additives and natural herbal remedies and similar products. Although some

“…To allow a comparison of stocking density for different species, the reported stocking rate was converted into a common metric of livestock units per hectare (LSU/ha) using conversion factors (1 cow or horse = 1, 1 pony = 0.5, 1 deer = 0.3, 1 sheep or goat = 0.12 LSU) based on UK government classifications (Welsh Government 2013b; Scottish . The dominant plant species in ungrazed and grazed areas were noted and classified as Spartina, C3 graminoids, or forbs (using Bruhl and Wilson 2007;Atia et al 2014;Osborne et al 2014). No plots were dominated by shrubs.…”

Trade-offs between multiple ecosystem services in UK and US salt marshes

Salt marshes supply vital ecosystem services (ES), providing material goods and recreation space, regulating natural hazards, and supporting diverse wildlife. However, increases in the utilisation of one ES can lead to reductions or ‘trade-offs’ in others. Because salt marshes are commonly used for grazing livestock, it is important to understand how this grazing impacts the saltmarsh ecosystem, and the consequences for ES supply. This thesis (i) uses a global meta-analysis to investigate the effects of livestock grazing on saltmarsh properties, and finds multiple significant changes to soil, vegetation and fauna properties. The meta-analysis reveals that the response of soil carbon is context dependent – there is no effect in Europe but a reduction in the Americas. (ii) Extensive surveys of soil carbon in grazed and ungrazed US marshes, controlling for key covariates, confirm that grazing trades-off against carbon storage in US marshes. These observational surveys, together with 18-month experimental exclusion of horses from a salt marsh in Georgia, show that grazing also disrupts the plant community in US marshes, but has little effect on resident invertebrates. (iii) Focussing on bees in salt marshes, a three-year study in south Wales, UK shows that grazing trades-off against bee habitat by reducing the flower cover of two key food plants, and that increases in plant diversity with grazing do not compensate for this negative effect. (iv) Spatial analyses of seven saltmarsh ES supplied by an estuary complex in south Wales show that marshes are not achieving their potential as a bee habitat here, due to the predominance of grazing. These analyses also show that the provision of ES by salt marshes is spatially heterogeneous, dependent on management, size and location. As a whole, this thesis adds to the understanding of grazer impacts and ES trade-offs, and supplies crucial data to support evidence-based management of salt marshes.
