- Observation Plants growing on salty grounds have distinct composition with respect to their place in the taxonomic system.
- Observation Plant assemblages in the Karama area of the Jordan Valley differ in salt tolerance from those of Azraq Sabkha.
- Observation Suaeda grows further up on wetter surroundings in the Karama area.
- Observation Salicornia succeeds on moist and less salty grounds in the Karama area.
- Observation Arthrocnemum forms bushes in drier places with rather salty grounds.
- Observation Tamarix tetragyna is preferred by slightly less salty places.
- Observation Prosopis bushes appear where salt is present in the ground only periodically.
- Observation Atriplex halimus occurs where salt is present in the ground only periodically.
- Observation Capparis occurs where salt is present in the ground only periodically.
- Observation Two species of Spergularia characterize the saltier parts of the former beach of a temporal lake in Azraq.
- Observation Tamarix passerinoides characterizes the former beach of a temporal lake in Azraq.
- Observation Tamarix represents alkaline water tolerant plants.
- Observation Phragmites represents alkaline water tolerant plants.
