Sarcocornia Dunensis

Sarcocornia dunensis is a halophytic plant that thrives in coastal environments where saltwater meets the land. It is commonly found in estuaries and tidal flats, where it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and preventing erosion. This unique species has adapted to high salinity and fluctuating water levels through specialized physiological mechanisms. Its succulent leaves and salt-excreting glands allow it to survive in harsh, saline conditions. Despite its resilience, Sarcocornia dunensis faces threats from human activity and climate change.
