Our first source explores how salt exposure affects the growth and survival of trees and shrubs, shedding light on the challenges faced by vegetation in high-salt environments. The second source provides a comprehensive guide to salt-tolerant trees and shrubs, ideal for planting in areas like Rhode Island.
