How do plants adapt to salty environments?

Plants in salty environments, like mangroves and salt marsh grasses, have specialised adaptations to survive high salinity. They can filter out salt through their roots or excrete it through specialised glands in their leaves. Some store excess salt in older leaves that are later shed. Thick, waxy coatings on leaves reduce water loss, and their roots often have mechanisms to conserve freshwater. These adaptations allow them to thrive in coastal or saline soils.
