Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Halophytes and halo-tolerant plants may become the key to the sustainable development of food worldwide. Saline–alkali land is not barren land. A large number of halophytes, salt-secreting plants, pseudo-halophytes, and high-salt-tolerant plants can be grown through modern selection and scientific irrigation techniques. The sustainable management of halophytes and marine agriculture is currently a promising and an interesting subject and will play a key role in the development of new crops. For this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers, review articles, and short communications on any aspect of the “Sustainable Management of Halophytes for Seawater- and Saline-Water-Based Agriculture”.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- agrobiological characterization of halophytes;
- design of halophyte-based cropping systems;
- potential agri-industrial uses of halophytes;
- halophytes for biofuel;
- halotolerant crops and halophytes for forage;
- soil and water management in halophyte agroecosystems;
- halophytes and soil–plant–water–atmosphere relations;
- nutritional requirements of halophytes;
- halophytes for remediating polluted soils and water;
- designing seawater-based agriculture;
- halophytes for increasing food production;
- halophyte-based sustainable agroecosystems.
