Features: Halophytes refer to a group of plants that grow in saline habitats and possess strong salt tolerance, capable of utilizing brackish water or seawater for irrigation. With the increasing scarcity of water resources and the worsening of soil salinization issues, the use of seawater (brackish water) irrigation and the development and utilization of halophytes have gained increasing attention. This book introduces the physiological ecology, morphological structure, classification, biotechnology, cultivation and processing, brackish water irrigation, and sustainable development of agriculture in saline-alkali lands of halophytes, providing important guidance for the research and development and utilization of halophyte resources. Target Audience: Researchers, government decision-makers, and faculty and students of higher agricultural institutions.
