e0“The main determinants of success of Atriplex sagittata in Central Europe are probably a combination of (a) special adaptation mechanisms, such as heterocarpy and salt-tolerance which favour the species survival in disturbed habitats, and (b) increasing frequency of suitable habitats, related to frequent disturbances of the landscape and human-related transport activities.”
