The effects are, damaging the plants by crushing them and maybe even well kill animals.
Salt water changes the osmotic potential around the roots of the plants, preventing osmosis and the uptake of water and nutrients. Unless plants have special adaptations to cope with this (such as halophytes), the plant eventually wilts and dies. Salt also changes the pH of the soil, which inhibits the uptake of certain nutrients, resulting in deficiencies, and eventually possible death
it makes the water boil faster
Salt- kills plants. Really fast Sugar- Kinda dies, then sorta (in a weird way) come back to life Aspirin- Kills a plant in less than a week. -_- Its really fast to kill a plant Tylenol- Kills plants pretty quick. Our experiment was a FAILURE! xC Hope this helps.
AnswerLand plants will typically be killed by salt water. Some coastal plants and sea plants grow in salt water, but the rest of them tend to be stunted and die.1. Watering plants with salt water causes physical damage to the root system preventing the plant from being able to absorb fresh water and nutrients.2. Watering plants with salt water prevents the normal process of water absorption through osmosis from taking place as the concentration of salts in the soil is higher than that of the cell sap within the root hairs.3. Watering plants with salt water (or even slightly saline water) causes changes in the pH of the soil; changes in soil pH can "lock up" certain minerals in the soil rendering them insoluble and inaccessible to the plant. In this respect even small amounts of salt water can result in plant nutrient deficiencies (stunting, discolouration etc.) sometimes exhibited in plants growing in saline soils.Certain plants such as halophytes can metabolise and expel excess salt.
yes
it kills the cells
practical any type of levels of salt would make a difference. e.g. the higher the level of salt may have a bigger effect on plants and the lower the level of salt may have a smaller effect on the plants. but it really depends on the type of plant... i will research the plants and get back to u :)
The effect that salt has on plants is that it doesn't stimulate the growth cycle. Controlled (pure water) on the other hand makes plants grow faster than watering it with salt water.
the effect saltwater has on most plants is that a bellend will grow out of the plants.
Plants need food to grow as human do. Plants need salts to grow, and plants use salts for their food.
Yes. In very small amounts.Sodium chloride is salt, applied at about 1 part to 1,000 salt to soil it can have a slight fertilising effect, but used at 1lb to a gallon of water it is a weedkiller.

Salt can be toxic to most life when in high dosages. Salt will "burn" small seeds and seedlings, inhibit growth and harm your plants. Salt is caustic in high amounts.
Salt will have an adverse affect on most plants.
it is because that the salt in the water is very deadly to the plants and so it can not be used to any effect exept for Kelp etc.
Salt is good for some plants and bad for other plants.
