What is it about?
We studied the physiological adaptation mechanism of salt-stress in Salix alba L. White willow can cope with salt stress by means of root interception of Na+, selective absorption of K+ and Ca2+, transport capacity to the aboveground, and enhancement of φDo, showing a certain ability of self-regulation and adaptation.

Why is it important?
Salix alba L has a strong ability to adapt to adversity and has great potential to be applied in the ecological management of coastal saline-alkali land. Our results showed that white willow can cope with salt stress by means of root interception of Na+, selective absorption of K+ and Ca2+, transport capacity to the aboveground part, and enhancement of φDo, showing a certain self-regulatory adaptability.
