saline wetland

A saline wetland is a type of wetland that has a high concentration of salt, often found in coastal areas or inland regions with evaporative minerals. These wetlands are characterized by salty water, which supports specialized plants and animals adapted to saline conditions. They provide important ecological functions such as filtering pollutants, supporting biodiversity, and acting as natural buffers against floods. Saline wetlands are distinct from freshwater wetlands due to their salt content, and they play a vital role in maintaining environmental health and resilience in their ecosystems.
