Summary: Biochar can enhance the growth of S. salsa and improve rhizosphere soil quality, especially under no flooding conditions. However, seed germination and seedling growth of the plant are influenced by different flooding treatments.

Summary: The study found that vermicompost addition significantly improved seed germination and seedling growth of Suaeda salsa under non-flooding or episodic flooding conditions, but had no significant effect under continuous flooding. Additionally, vermicompost addition increased soil aggregate stability and decreased soil electrical conductivity, thereby enhancing soil quality. The results suggest that vermicompost addition could be an effective strategy for promoting the growth of Suaeda salsa in saline soil and assisting in restoring the Suaeda salsa community in the Yellow River Delta, China.

Summary: The application of nitrogen has an impact on the intercropping effect of euhalophyte/non-halophyte. In the intercropping of euhalophyte Suaeda salsa and non-halophyte Zea mays L., maize had lower biomass while Suaeda had higher biomass. Nitrate treatment helped alleviate salt damage and increase salt ion accumulation around Suaeda roots, positively affecting maize growth. Interspecific competition may contribute to the disadvantage in maize growth in the intercropping.

Summary: Halophytes and glycophytes exhibit diverse strategies for nutrient absorption under salinity stress, with halophytes altering root morphology to increase root surface area and glycophytes activating rhizospheric processes to absorb more nutrients.

Summary: The research found that under salinity treatment, the expression of nitrate transporter 2.1 (SsNRT2.1) in Suaeda salsa was up-regulated, leading to increased nitrate uptake and accumulation. The inhibitor of plasma membrane H+-ATPase, Na3VO4, was found to affect this process.

Summary: Sustainable agricultural development in semiarid and arid regions is hindered by soil and water salinization. The halophyte Suaeda salsa shows potential for addressing issues of freshwater scarcity, soil salinization, and fodder shortage. However, the salt removal capacity and forage nutritive value of S. salsa under different saline water treatments remain unclear.

Summary: Wetlands have been a focus of concern due to the presence of organophosphate esters (OPEs) and other emerging contaminants. Through analyzing Suaeda salsa plants and wetland soils from Laizhou Bay, North China, this study found that rhizosphere soil promotes the absorption of OPEs in wetlands, with Suaeda salsa roots showing a higher rate of absorption.

Summary: Spartina alterniflora, introduced into China in the 1980s, has had significant negative impacts on coastal wetlands by encroaching on native plant communities' habitat. The habitat of S. alterniflora expanded while the habitat of Suaeda salsa continuously fragmented. Habitat fragmentation and competition between S. alterniflora and Phragmites australis intensified, aggravating the reduction and fragmentation of S. salsa's habitat and threatening biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

Summary: Coastal marshes are important in sequestering carbon, but are vulnerable to global change. This study investigated the effects of waterlogging and salinity on soil CO2 effluxes in Spartina alterniflora marshes. Waterlogging suppressed soil respiration during inundation but increased it during reaeration, while salinity levels had varying effects. The study found that changes in root biomass and microbial activities played a key role in soil respiration variations under different hydrological treatments.

Summary: This study analyzed the soil physicochemical properties and evaluated the soil ecological thresholds in degraded areas for the growth of SSuaeda salsa. The results showed that the soil particle composition became coarser and the salt content increased with the degree of wetland degradation. The pH of the soil varied with depth, while the nutrient concentrations did not change significantly. The optimal thresholds for soil salinity and water content were determined.

Summary: The study found that under high salinity conditions, the expression level of nitrate transporter 2.1 (SsNRT2.1) gene and nitrate concentration in the roots of Suaeda salsa significantly increased. This indicates that SsNRT2.1 may contribute to efficient NO3- uptake in S. salsa under low nitrate and high salinity conditions.

Summary: This study characterized the microbial community structures and functional profiles of root-related compartments in two salt-tolerant plants. The results revealed the important role of root-associated microbes in enhancing plant salt resistance, and identified specific microorganisms that may play key roles in alleviating salt stress. The findings also highlighted the potential use of keystone microbes for enhancing plant salt resistance.

Summary: Suaeda maritima is an annual species that can tolerate flooding and high salinity environments, but flooding inhibits its growth and affects the accumulation of Na+ in different culture solutions. The study found that although plants produce adventitious roots under flooded conditions, they are not important for the species' tolerance to submergence.
