how do halophytes tolerate salty environments?

[samanosuke47]

Please help me.I have to find some book concern with this question.But I dont know where i can find it.Could everyone give me some name of book or some key words that I can find it on internet(because my English is not good).Thax u so much!!!!!!

campbell's biology contains some info on the subject.
a more detailed version can probably found in a plant phisiology book, though i do not know the name of the exact book.

Yes it is. But good books cost a lot. I wonder if it could be found on ebay?

Otherwise most botany texts only touch on this subject a little bit. Its worth it if this is someones major study.
