coastal-plants

Coastal plants are species adapted to thrive in salt-laden, nutrient-poor environments where land meets sea, facing unique stressors including salt spray, sandy or saline soils, and wind exposure. Studying coastal plant adaptations is essential for understanding fundamental plant physiology, particularly osmotic stress tolerance and nutrient uptake strategies under extreme conditions. This research has practical applications for ecosystem conservation, shoreline stabilization, and developing climate-resilient crops as sea levels rise and soils increasingly salinize.
