Coastal salt marshes typically feature salt-tolerant grasses, such as Spartina and Juncus, which thrive in the saline, waterlogged soil.

Salt marshes are unique coastal ecosystems that are home to various species of salt-tolerant plants. These grasses have adapted to survive in environments where the soil is rich in salt, and the tides periodically inundate the area. The presence of salt-tolerant grasses helps stabilize the marsh soil, prevent erosion, and provide essential habitat for various wildlife species. These ecosystems play a crucial role in water filtration, carbon sequestration, and protecting shorelines from storms.
