Saline wetlands are rare ecosystems in Saharan areas, which are important for conservation of many endemic and rare plant species. In this study, we investigated five saline wetland sites of the Oued Righ region, loca...
In Tunisian arid regions, plant life forms, ecotypes, physiological types and photosynthetic pathways (03, 04 or CAM) remain unclear. Understanding the characters of these plant species could be important for land r...
