If salt marsh plants are facultative halophytes, then why do they live and dominate in salty areas but not elsewhere?
What will be an ideal response?
Salt marsh plants can only compete successfully for space in salty areas where other plants cannot grow well. Because salt marsh plants are adapted to withstand salty conditions they can outgrow other plants that do not have such adaptations. These same salt marsh plants would not be able to compete very well under freshwater conditions because other plants outcompete them.
