More than ten years have passed since the publication of the first volume, dealing with the Arabian Peninsula and adjacent countries. Volume two provided information on West and Central Asia, volume three on Africa and Southern Europe, where a lack of scientific capacity in this specialized field of saline dry lands was noticed. This is why volume three was comparatively thin. For the current volume however, we had almost thirty contributions, highlighting the importance of halophyte research and development, with a view to establishing pilot-farms, for food production, biofuel, analyzing atmospheric carbon sequestration, and also as places for ex situ halophyte biodiversity conservation. Two more volumes are planned, one on the sabkha ecosystems of the Americas and another one on Asia-Pacific, to conclude the global geographical coverage. 410 0$aTasks for Vegetation Science,$x0167-9406 ;$v47 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aEnergy 606 $aEducation 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aLife Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L00004 606 $aEnergy, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/100000 606 $aEducation, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O00000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aEnergy. 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 14$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aLife Sciences, general. 615 24$aEnergy, general. 615 24$aEducation, general. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 676 $a577.69 702 $aKhan$b M.
