Responses of a coastal halophyte to combined salinity and hypoxia
Suaeda maritima is a halophyte commonly found on coastal wet lands in the intertidal zone. Due to its habitat, S. maritima has evolved tolerance to high salt concentrations and low oxygen conditions (hypoxia) in the...

Seed dormancy cycling in a halophytic shrub
Kalidium gracile has 3 life history traits to help ensure persistence at a site: polycarpic perennial life cycle, persistent seed bank and dormancy cycling.
Phenotypic plasticity in Suaeda maritima
Suaeda maritima shows morphologically different forms on high and low areas of the same salt marsh. Wetson et al. demonstrate that roots of this halophyte have a constitutively very high activity of lactate...
