Sodium chloride solutions not a good experimental substitute for sea water
Simulating seawater in the lab is more complicated than just getting the salt concentration right.

Climate change threatens the first line of defence against coastal storms
When the storms come in, plants could help secure natural defences. But climate change is giving them problems of their own.
Hybrids may succeed where invasive species fail as sea levels rise
Invasive species might suffer from a change in conditions in tidal areas, but their hybrid offspring may have genes to survive.
How do marshes migrate?
New research shows that marsh plants may be lying in wait in marshes-to-be, waiting for geological processes to catch up.
Simulated seawater flooding reduces oilseed rape growth, yield and progeny performance
Does evidence of saltwater exposure explain recent changes in the tree communities of North Carolina’s Coastal Plain?
When seas rise rapidly
We think of sea-level rise as a long-term threat, but sometimes the change is catastrophically quick, and it’s the recovery that is long-term.
