[PCA] effect of salinity on riparian vegetation

Tue Jan 3 09:39:41 CST 2017

Hello,

The USDA-NRCS Plant Materials Centers have done some work on the tolerance of vegetation to saline conditions, and have recommendations for native and introduced species for these difficult sites.  Below are some links to documents for different parts of the country:

Northern Great Plains – Intermountain West:

hi James, yeah, that would be handy. Here's a short one from NYC Parks & Rec.:

I have a somewhat related question. Is there any convenient listing of native plants that could be used in plantingq for sites that receive run off from salt-treated roads, or septic drain fields that percolate softened water, etc?

Good morning,

I'm looking for information on the effect of water with high salinity on riparian vegetation.
I've found plenty of articles on the high salinity irrigation water and crops, but I'm looking
for something related to salinity and native veg.

thanks
