e0“Germination of S. europaea and S. calceoliformis, the most salt‐tolerant species being tested, was stimulated by exposure to high salinity. Both species had a significant increase in percentage germination and in the germination rate when compared to seeds germinated in distilled water.”

- Intervention effect Extended salt exposure reduced H. jubatum germination percentage and rate.
- Observation H. jubatum seeds exposed to 10% NaCl for over one year failed to germinate.
- Intervention effect Short exposure to 3% NaCl stimulated Spergularia marina germination.
- Observation At higher salinity, Spergularia marina germination was delayed and declined with exposure time.
- Association A. prostrata germination declined over time independently of salinity level.
- Intervention effect High salinity stimulated S. europaea germination percentage and rate relative to distilled water.
- Observation S. europaea germinated in 3% NaCl.
- Observation S. calceoliformis germinated in 3% NaCl.
- Observation Spergularia marina failed to germinate in 2% NaCl.
- Intervention effect At 2% NaCl, A. prostrata germination was significantly reduced.
- Intervention effect At 2% NaCl, H. jubatum germination was significantly reduced.
