Halophytes of Southwest Asia

Sabkha Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Tasks for Vegetation Science ((TAVS,volume 47))

Abstract

In general, saline and arid environments are poor in species. A total of 728 taxa of halophytes are recorded for SW Asia belonging to 68 families (compared to 117 plant families worldwide). The majority of halophytes belong to the families Chenopodiaceae, Poaceae, Leguminosae (Papiliondeae), Asteraceae and Cyperaceae. Chenopodiaceae has the largest number of species and genera of all families only exceeded by Poaceae which has more genera but fewer species. These numbers are in accordance with those found for halophytes of the world. From the data available, Turkey has the most halophytes (±600 taxa), followed by Pakistan (±361 taxa), Iran ± 350 taxa), Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Yemen (±120 taxa). Halophytes in SW Asia constitute about half the number of halophyte taxa (and families) recorded for the world.

Information on halophytes is collated from published sources, and names of accepted taxa (and synonyms) are compiled in the database BRAHMS. A preliminary checklist (of names only) produced from this database is provided in this chapter.
