Gastroethnobotany of Halophytes

open access: yes
The halophytes are a specialized group of plants among which there are some representatives that have been cultivated for millenia. Domesticated or wild lineages are also consumed as food, being chard and dates fruits a good example of it. Other species highly appreciated and consumed locally are collected from wild, like Crithmum, and form part of the

Halophytes – A resource for the future

Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2001
One of the more urgent global problems, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, is finding enough water and land to support the world’s growing food needs. By some estimates, an additional 500 million acres of new croplands are required over the next thirty years to feed burgeoning populations of the tropics and subtropics.

From Halophyte Research to Halophytes Farming

2014
The need for halophytes in saline agriculture is rising, as the increasing population seeks to feed itself with ever-decreasing soil sources and dwindling freshwater supplies. Two main steps are needed to establish sustainable halophyte farming: (i) the selection of an economically important and ecologically relevant halophyte and (ii) the development ...

Halophytes and halophytic plant communities in Inner-Asia

1994
The geographic region of Inner-Asia is located in the hinterland far away from the ocean. It is surrounded by mountains and has a typical temperate continental climate with aridity as the basic characteristic. The lowland is a salt accumulating centre.

Salt regulation in halophytes

Oecologia, 1975
Ion concentration and saturation water content were measured in various aged leaves of halophytes growing in saline soils east of lake Neusiedlersee (Austria).All species investigated showed a substantial sodium accumulation within the maturing organs accompanied by a considerable potassium decline.
