Question
Chapter 54.3, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason due to which most plants cannot grow in salty habitats.
Introduction: Soil provides water and other essential nutrients required for plant growth. Plant growth is also affected by salt present in the soil. Halophytes are species of plants that can tolerate high salt concentrations. The ability of soil to support the growth of the plant is known as soil fertility. Soil fertility varies greatly from region to region.
