Before the Akkadian period the progressive salinisation of the soils, produced by poorly drained irrigation, had been reducing yields of wheat in the southern part of the country, leading to the conversion to more salt-tolerant barley growing. Source: Internet
Forests on the coastline are composed mostly of salt-tolerant mangrove trees, while the more sparsely populated inland has forests opening onto a plateau of drier grasslands. Source: Internet

Only salt-tolerant micro-algae survive in the high salinity ponds, and impart a deep red color to these ponds from the pigment within the algae protoplasm. Source: Internet
The later signs are sparse germination of crop plants, declining crop yields, increasing numbers of salt-tolerant weeds, and the formation of salt crystals on the soil surface. Source: Internet
By the Ur III period, farmers had switched from wheat to the more salt-tolerant barley as their principal crop. Source: Internet
