Abstract: | Summary Inland and sea cliff populations of bothAgrostis stolonifera L. andHolcus lanatus L. were subjected to soil NaCl treatments, of 100 and 200 mol m−3 NaCl, and tolerance examined using plant dry weight data. A parallel experiment subjected them to salt spray treatments of
2.5%, 5% and 10% NaCl in distilled water, and tolerance assessed from leaf damage.
Both populations of each species were equally sensitive to soil NaCl. When subjected to salt spray the sea cliff populations
however showed marked resistance to leaf damage. Soil salinity resistance and salt spray resistance thus appear to be independent
characteristics in these two species. |
