Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Halophytes are plants that initiate their growth, accomplish their life course,
and outlive others in a salty environment. The word halophytes has two syllables (halo
= salt, phyte = plant). However, halophytes vary greatly with respect to salt tolerance.
This chapter discusses the soils in which halophytes grow and the climate as well as
their effects. The halophyte biodiversity in different regions of the world is reviewed.
