This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in arid and semiarid regions. Halophytes can remove salt from various types of problematic soils due to their unique morphological, physiological and anatomical adaptations to these environments. Halophytes are also used for the treatment of certain diseases but scientific documentation in terms of current phytotherapic applications is deficient in this unique group of plants. Different ethnic groups around the world use medicinal halophytes according to their own beliefs and ancestor?s experiences. However, their knowledge about the use of salt tolerant medicinal plants is usually confined to their own community. There is thus a knowledge gap on halophytes which should be bridged and preserved. This book provides a comprehensive account on the distribution of halophytes, their ethnobotanical and medicinal aspects, economic importance, and chemical constituents along with scientific description. The book therefore serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers working in the fields of plant stress biology and ethnobotanical aspects. 606 $aStress (Physiology) 606 $aPlants 606 $aAlternative medicine 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aPlant Stress Responses 606 $aComplementary and Alternative Medicine 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aAgricultural Economics 615 0$aStress (Physiology) 615 0$aPlants. 615 0$aAlternative medicine. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 14$aPlant Stress Responses. 615 24$aComplementary and Alternative Medicine. 615 24$aConservation Biology. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 676 $a581.42 676 $a581.754 700 $aO?ztu?rk$b Mu?nir A$g(Mu?nir Ahmet),$01176882 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910678261803321 996 $aHalophyte plant diversity and public health$93373061 997 $aUNINA
