[7/8] À court terme, l’adaptation passe par des cultures plus tolérantes, comme l’orge ou certaines variétés de blé. À plus long terme, les halophytes, plantes adaptées au sel comme la salicorne, offrent une piste, mais leur diffusion exige investissements, marchés et nouveaux systèmes agricoles.

There ARE a lot of halophytes... I wonder if you could specially breed them to act like a filter, that would still be Fantasy-ish

...I guess it's hard to keep tides AND be desalinated. Even if it was a natural volcanic vent to desalinate it by distillation, that's not tidal...

Halophytes like this Danish Scurvygrass are salt-tolerant plants that grow in coastal soils with high salinity. Winter road salting creates conditions for some to spread inland.
The distribution map for DSg picks out the road network beautifully!
My fave is the M6-M74 corridor 🛣️😂
#wildflowerhour
Two small clusters of Danish Scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica), glossy green rosettes of heart-shaped leaves, growing at the base of a dirty white-washed hose wall where it joins a grey tarmacked pavement A frost covered road verge, with a half-metre of browny vegetation at the road edge clear of frost due to the effect of road salting. This salt-rich (halophytic) habitat mimics the effects of coastal saltwater on vegetation along the inland road network. Reflexed Saltmarsh-grass (Puccinellia distans) grows in the narrow frost-free strip in the photo Britain & Ireland distribution map of Danish Scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica), a coastal halophyte that has spread inland along the road network due to road salting. The map shows red and orange dots for every tetrad it has been recorded - mapping out the major road network across much of the country! The M6-M74 corridor is particularly obvious
