Apesar das dunas serem consideradas áreas de preservação permanente, fatores antropogênicos vêm alterando a estrutura da vegetação. Assim, pesquisas sobre o arranjo estrutural vegetação herbácea são importantes para entender organização e distribuição espécies nesse em outros contextos. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma análise fitossociológica flora praia do Caúra (município São José Ri...

Halophytes are capable of coping with excessive NaCl in their tissues, although some species may differ degree salt tolerance. In addition, it is not clear whether they can tolerate other confounding factors and impurities associated non-conventional waters. The experiment was performed a greenhouse Crithmum maritimum Atriplex halimus plants, growing on soil irrigated two different water types:...

Salt stress is one of the main limiting factors for plant growth and crop yield. Halophytes have been postulated as a new food source since they are able to grow under saline environments suitable minerals bioactive compounds. See fennel Crithmum maritimum L. facultative halophyte moderately tolerant salinity. This study was carried out in order determine effect spraying methyl jasmonate (MeJa)...
