1 Salt Tolerance Value Ranges for Selected / Example Western Reclamation and Forage Species (K. Lair, unpublished data adapted and compiled from literature reviews on salinity tolerance see selected references citations below) Ratings represent upper limits of plant survival. Productivity and vigor of plants may be initially affected at lesser salinity values typically 40-50% of the highest survival rating. Very high (>12 ds m -1 ) Agropyron spp. Cynodon dactylon Distichlis spicata Elymus canadensis Elymus macrourus Elymus trachycaulus Festuca arundinacea Leymus angustus Leymus triticoides Muhlenbergia asperifolia Pascopyrum smithii Pseudoroegneria spicata X Elymus repens Puccinellia nuttaliana Spartina gracilis Sporobolus airoides Thinopyrum ponticum Triglochin maritima Forbs Haplopappus acradenius Heliotropium curassavicum Salicornia spp. Suaeda spp. Trifolium fragiferum Allenrolfia occidentalis Atriplex canescens Atriplex confertifolia Atriplex corrugata Atriplex gardneri Atriplex lentiformis Atriplex nuttallii Atriplex polycarpa Sarcobatus vermiculatus Crested wheatgrass Bermuda grass Inland saltgrass Canada wildrye Thickspike wheatgrass Slender wheatgrass Tall fescue Altai wildrye Beardless wildrye Alkali muhly Western wheatgrass Hybrid (RS) wheatgrass Nuttall s alkaligrass Alkali cordgrass Alkali sacaton Tall wheatgrass Arrowgrass Alkali goldenbush Salt heliotrope Glasswort Seepweed Strawberry clover Iodinebush Fourwing saltbush Shadscale Mat saltbush Gardner saltbush Quailbush Nuttall s saltbush Desert saltbush Greasewood 1

2 High (8-12 ds m -1 ) Alopecurus arundinaceus Bromus commutatus Bromus inermis Bromus marginatus Dactylis glomerata Elytrigia intermedia Elytrigia intermedia trichophora Lolium perenne Panicum obtusum Paspalum dilitatum Paspalum distichum Psathyrostachys juncea Sporobolus wrightii Forbs Astragalus cicer Atriplex patula Kochia americana Lotus corniculatus Machaeranthera spp. Medicago sativa Melilotus officianalis Melilotus alba Stanleya pinnata (Baccharis spp.) (Chilopsis linearis) (Frankenia spp.) (Isocoma heterophylla) (Pluchea sericea) (Prosopis pubescens) Moderate (4-8 ds m -1 ) Achnatherum hymenoides Alopecurus pratensis Bothriochloa barbinodes Bouteloua spp. Danthonia spp. Leymus racemosus Panicum virgatum Pleuraphis jamesii Pleuraphis rigida Stipa, Achnatherum, Nassella, and Hesperostipa spp. Creeping foxtail Meadow bromegrass Smooth bromegrass Mountain bromegrass Orchardgrass Intermediate wheatgrass Pubescent wheatgrass Perennial ryegrass Vine mesquite Dallis grass Knotgrass Russian wildrye Giant sacaton Cicer milkvetch Spearleaf fathen Green molly Birdsfoot trefoil Woody aster Alfalfa Yellow sweetclover White sweetclover Prince s plume Seep willow Desert willow Alkali heath Rayless goldenrod Arroweed Screwbean mesquite Indian ricegrass Meadow foxtail Cane bluestem Grama grasses Oatgrass Mammoth wildrye Switchgrass Galleta grass Big Galleta Needlegrasses 2

3 Forbs Oenothera spp. Sanguisorba minor Shepherdia canadensis Sphaeralcea spp. Trifolium spp. Artemisia tridentata tridentata Chrysothamnus spp. Ephedra spp. Fallugia paradoxa Krascheninnikovia lanata Larrea spp. Lycium spp. Prosopis spp. Purshia spp. Rhus spp. Symphoricarpos spp. Tetradymia spinosa Evening primrose Small burnet Buffaloberry Globemallow Clover Basin big sagebrush Rabbitbrush Mormon tea Apache plume Winterfat Creosotebush Wolfberry Mesquite Bitterbrush Sumac Snowberry Horsebrush Mild or light (<4 ds m -1 ) Soil salinity values less than 4 mmhos cm-1 are typically considered to exhibit little or no impact on survival or productivity of most commonly used, native reclamation plant species.
