However, there are now clear examples of single-cell C4 photosynthesis in a number of green algae, diatoms, and aquatic and land plants (Figure 8.12A). (...) Except in three terrestrial plants (see below), the distinctive Kranz anatomy increases the concentration of CO2 in bundle sheath cells to almost 10-fold higher than in the external atmosphere (Figure 8.12B and C). (...) Three plants that grow in Asia, Suaeda aralocaspica (formerly Borszczowia aralocaspica) and two Bienertia species, perform complete C4 photosynthesis within single chlorenchyma cells (see Figure 8.12A and C).

#2191 - Suaeda australis - Austral Seablite
Tumblr media
AKA Redweed.
After we'd moved to a much better hotel immeadiately adjacent to the airport, I walked across the freeway to investigate a few parks I saw on the map. They were dissapointing - large trees, certainly, but lawn underneath, and not even any gardens to investigate. I did find a few halophytes in low, damp, presumably salty area of reclaimed land next to the sports ovals and tennis courts, though. Not immeadiately adjacent to the estuary, but probably very close to the water table.
Suaeda australis is an Amaranth native to Australia, growing to about 90cm tall, wth succulent green or pinkish-red foliage.It grows in coastal, estuarine, and salt marsh areas in all Australian States, where it grows in irrigated areas it's a good indicator of salinity problems.

Suaeda salsa
Suaeda salsa
Suaeda translates from Arabic سويداء into Swaida, a city in Syria where the species Suaeda vermiculata (Source), while salsa means salted.
Family: Amaranthaceae (Amaranth Family)
Fun Fact: “The species is economically important because its fresh branches have high value as a vegetable, and its seed oil is edible and rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Because it can remove salts and heavy metals from saline soils, S. salsa can also be used in the restoration of salinized or contaminated saline land” (Source). However, “[The} Leaves - raw or cooked have a salty flavour. Seed - cooked whole or ground into a powder. A famine food, it is only used when all else fails” (Source).
Habitat: They are endemic to salt marshes, inland saline soils, and intertidal zones of Northern China.

Use of Salt-Tolerant Plants and Halophytes as Potential Crops in Saline Soils in China
Authored by Faisal M El Hag
Tumblr media
Introduction
As one of the major abiotic stresses, salinity severely inhibits plant growth and development, leads to crop yield loss and plant ecosystem deterioration worldwide [1,2]. Sodium chloride is considered to be the most component that causing salinization and is the widespread salt that existing in saline soils [3]. UP to now, almost 10% of the land area and 50% of the irrigated soils area was affected by salinity presence [1,4]. In addition, the degree of soil salinization is still intensified due to natural and human factors such as irrational irrigation. Simultaneously, the agricultural land has declined due to the industrialization, the urban development, and the habitat need with the rapid increase of population [5]. Therefore, developing strategies to make use of saline land will be crucial for addressing the problem of insufficient farmland and meeting the challenge of providing food security for the projected global population of 9.3 billion people by 2050. It is considered as a desirable and sustainable strategy to plant the salt-tolerant crop varieties and halophytes for the agricultural usage of saline soils.
In general, the growth and the reproduction of crops were severely inhibited when they grow in saline environments [6], even died in heavily saline soils. 99.13 million hectares of saline-alkali land are present in China, accounting for about 12% of the world’s saline-alkali land, and more than 20 million hectares of land are considered to be saline, among which 20% are distributed in cultivated lands [7]. Many works have been done in getting a better and more efficient way to use of the salinized land by biological methods in China. In the present paper, applied and potential plants that could grow on saline land and with economic and application value will be discussed, which will provide an insight understanding and application reference for improving and using the saline soils for agriculture.
Discussion
There are about 420 halophyte species and more than 1000 salt-tolerant plants in China. In the current, a wide range of applications could be implemented according to the salt-tolerant plants and halophytes. Up to now, more than 100 species of the salt-tolerant plants and halophytes have been applied for improving saline lands in China. They could be used as food, such as the salt-tolerant wheat (Dekang 961, Shanrong 3), quiona, and sorghum; vegetables, such as Suaeda salsa, Salicornia bigelovii, and Ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystalinum L.); forage, such as Atriplex triangularis, sweet sorghum, and wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.); fruits, such as winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba cv. Dongzao), and Nitraria tangutorum; medicine, such as Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, Apocynum venetum, and flower plant such as Limonium sinense. And bioenergy is considered as a renewable new energy.
With the rapid economy expansion, the demand for energy is sustaining insatiable. Bioenergy such as ethanol is selected as a new alternative energy source to meet the global requirement. In addition, to avoid the completion of food and farmland for people in China, the bioenergy is allowed to produce only in marginal soils such as saline soils by culturing the energy crops with higher salt-tolerant ability such as sweet sorghum, hybrid pennisetum, Manihot esculenta, and sugar beet [8,9,10]. Sweet sorghum with high salt tolerance, photosynthesis, high biomass and sugar content in the stem is widely planted in saline soil to be a suitable crop to produce the food, the animal feed, good liquor-making raw materials and bioethanol [11,12].
Halophytes could grow under extreme salt conditions with highly salt-tolerant ability, evenly at sea salt level [13]. As the precious plant resources with high applicable value, halophytes have been obtained more and more attentions by scientists [14]. For instance, to remediate the saline soils by culturing halophytes, preventing salt back to the soil surface, and removing salt from the soils that reducing salt content [5]. In addition, halophytes also have many economic values, for example, some of them could be used as vegetables, fodder and fruit [15,16]. Even some of the halophytic vegetables such as Suaeda salsa could be irrigated using seawater or grown in the intertidal zone [17]. It could be providing gourmet vegetables using seawater and meet the shortage of freshwater resources in the world [18]. Furthermore, halophytes have other usage, Suaeda salsa could be used to produce oil due to the abounded content of unsaturated fatty acid in their seeds [19,20]. Halophytes could provide abounded salt-tolerant genes for studying the salt tolerance mechanism and obtain the genetically modified salt-tolerant crops. Perhaps, the problem of “less land for more population” in the developing countries could be solved by planting salt-tolerant plants and halophyte on the saline soils and provide economic benefit and could meet the problem of the restricted agricultural land resources [21,22].
Conclusion
With the increasing of the saline areas and the degrading of the arable soils in the world, we face the problem of how to balance the reducing of farmland and the increasing of the requirement of food and energy. The growth, development and reproduction of all crops are severely inhibited by saline soils. While some of the salt-tolerant plants can grow in the saline conditions, which could utilize the saline soils by culturing salt-tolerant plants and provide us food, vegetables, fruits, animal forage, flowers and bioenergy. This will solve the contradiction between the increase in population and the decrease in cultivated land area, and at the same time, provide a better method to develop and utilize of saline land. Therefore, screening more salt-tolerant plant and halophytes with high potential value in agriculture is an urgent task

Principal Chinese Herb Types
Tumblr media
Anyone who has walked into a Chinese herbal shop and experienced the aromas, and the impressive number of herbs available, can tell you the depth of knowledge and the tradition of medicinal herbs is unparalleled in Western culture. Gaining popularity In modern times Chinese herbal medicine has been an increasingly interesting area of study for contemporary scientific investigators. The surge in popularity in Holistic approaches to health and lifestyle has put Chinese herbal practice into the middle of our new look at what it means to get and stay healthy. The literally thousands of years of experience, organization, and observation of the positive effects of herbs, herb essential oils, and other herbal combinations offers an intriguing alternative to today’s health-conscious individual. Holistic health It should always be remembered that Chinese medicinal herbology does not exist in a vacuum. That is, there are no herbs that by themselves, will make you thinner or cure any digestive problem, or miraculously increase your basic energy level. Chinese herbs and their use are but one part of a philosophy of life that includes diet, lifestyle, and spiritual well being. The use of herbal preparations and remedies must always be considered as part of this larger picture of a balanced life. One of the basic understandings that Chinese herbal practitioners have discovered is that herbs should be approached not only as occasionally utilized medicines or cures but also as part of a regular well thought out diet. Herbs are thought of as highly concentrated foods, essential to life and a sense of well-being. Many Chinese herbs are used in cooking and are important ingredients in recipes. Popular herbs One of the most well known Chinese herbs now days is Gin Seng – known as an energy enhancer. Ginseng has enjoyed a surge in popularity. You should know, however, that herbalists do not consider Ginseng useful for all people. Again it depends on the whole picture of the person’s lifestyle. Other popular herbs are Ginger preparations, Lotus seed, Fox-nut, Cardomon, and Jujuba – there are entirely too many herbal remedies to list here. A thorough study and good information will help you understand all the potential uses of herbs in your diet and lifestyle. Chinese herbal medicine and supplements are based on the Yin-Yang principle, that is, a world of opposites that must be brought into balance. That’s the word to remember: “balance.” Using Chinese herbs offers you a new way to help center your health on an ancient proven tradition that provides for the health of the complete person.

💥LOÀI THỰC VẬT GIÚP MÁY BAY CẤT CÁNH?💥
Hiện nay, máy bay sử dụng nguồn nguyên liệu chính đến từ dầu mỏ vì thế gây ra các tác động lớn đến môi trường đã đề cập trong các bài viết trước thuộc chuỗi nội dung “ĐÃ TÌM RA NGUỒN NHIÊN LIỆU BỀN HƠN CẢ DẦU MỎ”. Nguồn năng lượng cho ngành hàng không không chỉ có từ vi sinh vật mà còn đến từ thực vật - một nguồn năng lượng rất xanh đồng thời vô cùng phù hợp với mục tiêu khai thác tốt nguồn nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững. 
🌵Loài thực vật chịu mặn
Thực tế có hơn 70% diện tích trái đất được bao phủ bởi nước, nhưng phần lớn không thích hợp để sử dụng do độ mặn cao. Theo một ước tính gần đây, đất bị nhiễm mặn đã tăng từ 45 lên 62 triệu ha trong hai thập kỷ qua, chiếm khoảng 20% ​​diện tích đất được tưới trên toàn cầu. Rõ ràng, chúng ta có thể tận dụng khoảng không gian khổng lồ chưa sử dụng này để trồng các loại nguyên liệu nhiên liệu sinh học bền vững, vừa tận dụng tài nguyên đất vả phát triển năng lượng bền vững từ thực vật.
Dựa trên các thí nghiệm của mình ở Israel, nhà sinh thái học Hugo Boyko đã chỉ ra rằng một số loài thực vật có thể được tưới bằng nước có độ mặn cao. Loại thực vật độc đáo có thể sinh trưởng, sinh sản và phát triển tốt trong môi trường sống có nồng độ muối rất cao, nơi hầu hết các loài thực vật khác không sống được, được biết đến rộng rãi với tên gọi HALOPHYTES. Khả năng chịu mặn của halophytes khác nhau ở các loài và ở các giai đoạn phát triển khác nhau. Halophytes phân bố rộng rãi ở các vùng ven biển, đất đầm lầy, đầm lầy ngập mặn, cửa sông và bán sa mạc mặn. Một số loài halophytes thậm chí có thể phát triển tốt ở nồng độ muối cao hơn nồng độ muối trong nước biển.
Mặc dù, halophytes chiếm ít hơn 2% số lượng thực vật trên cạn, chúng có thể được sử dụng cho một số mục đích thương mại như rau, giá trị y học, làm cảnh, bảo vệ môi trường. Do tiềm năng không giới hạn của chúng, một số loài halophytes đã được sàng lọc để sản xuất quy mô lớn ở các khu vực khác nhau trên thế giới và để tạo ra các loại cây trồng mới cho các vùng đất mặn. Điểm đặc biệt được biết đến ở những loài này là HẠT DẦU, chúng chứa đựng trong vô số hạt trên thân là dầu, loại dầu này có năng lượng cực kì cao và có thể giúp máy bay cất cánh mà không cần dung đến năng lượng từ dầu mỏ.
🌵Halophytes cho dầu
Dầu hạt thực vật là một nguồn tài nguyên rất tốt để sản xuất dầu diesel sinh học. Trên thực tế, một số loài thực vật như cải dầu, mù tạt, đậu tương, v.v. đã được khám phá rằng chúng có chứa dầu có thể chế biến thành nhiên liệu bền vững. Nhiều loài halophyte như Suaeda aralocaspica (loài thực vật có hoa thuộc họ Dền), Salicornia bigelovii (măng tây biển), Crithmum maritimum (thì là biển), Ricinus communis (thầu dầu), Descurainaia Sophia (loài thực vật có hoa trong họ Cải), Kosteletzkya pentacarpos (loài thực vật có hoa trong họ Cẩm
quỳ),…. có thể lưu giữ nồng độ dầu cao, chiếm > 20% tổng trọng lượng hạt khô. Sản lượng dầu khác nhau ở các loài khác nhau. Ricinus communis tích lũy nồng độ dầu hạt đặc biệt cao lên đến 40% tổng trọng lượng khô của hạt. Măng tây biển tạo ra khoảng 2 tấn hạt mỗi ha và có thể lưu trữ dầu lên đến 30% tổng trọng lượng khô. Halophytes lâu năm, Kosteletzkya pentacarpos, cũng đang được điều tra để sản xuất diesel sinh học từ hạt và etanol xenlulo từ sinh. Hạt của nó chứa khoảng 20% ​​dầu và khả năng nhiễm bệnh của cây rất thấp. Kosteletzkya virginica là một loài halophyte lâu năm với năng suất lên đến 1500kg mỗi ha. Dầu chiếm khoảng 22% tổng trọng lượng khô của hạt.
🔥🔥Bạn biết gì về măng tây biển?
Tại các trang trại ở Bahia Kino và Tastiota, Mexico, Global Seawater đang trồng cây măng tây biển, cây halophytes ưa mặn, phát triển mạnh ở đất nghèo dinh dưỡng.
Măng tây biển theo truyền thống được xem như một nguồn thực phẩm. Tuy nhiên, "với sự gia tăng giá năng lượng toàn cầu, nó trở nên hấp dẫn hơn nhiều về mặt kinh tế khi bắt đầu được xem như một nguồn nguyên liệu cho dầu diesel sinh học và các sản phẩm năng lượng khác", Jason McCoy, thư ký giám đốc điều hành Global Seawater, Inc cho biết.
McCoy cho biết khoảng 30% tính trên trọng lượng của măng tây biển là dầu và 70% sinh khối hạt có dầu còn lại có thể được sử dụng làm thức ăn cho vật nuôi, McCoy cho biết thêm rằng dầu măng tây có chất lượng tương tự như dầu cây rum. McCoy cho biết, công ty đã sử dụng dầu này làm nguyên liệu để sản xuất diesel sinh học đáp ứng tiêu chuẩn, được công nhận gần như dầu diesel sinh học BQ-9000, đồng thời cho biết thêm rằng mỗi ha măng tây biển có thể sản xuất được từ 225 đến 250 gallon diesel sinh học (1 gallon xấp xỉ 3,8 lít).
Hiện nay đã có nhiều hãng máy bay vẫn thường xuyên sử dụng nguồn năng lượng sau khi chế biến từ măng tây biển như nguồn nhiên liệu bền vững để vận hành máy bay và cho kết quả rất an toàn. Tuy nhiên giá thành của nguồn nguyên nhiên liệu này rất đắt vì chúng chưa được trồng với quy mô lớn cũng như chưa mở rộng chế biến. Global Seawater đang huy động vốn để tạo ra một trang trại được thương mại hóa rộng 5.000 ha ở bang Sonora, Mexico.

The Red Beach is a wonder bred by nature. The cleaning of the sea and the accumulation of the beach are the prerequisites for the existence of the Panjin Red Beach; the penetration of alkali and the infiltration of salt are the conditions for the red beach to be red like a morning glow. Red Beach National Scenic Corridor Red Beach National Scenic Corridor In the "Melon and Vegetable Generation" years of the 1960s, Red Beach also became a life-saving beach. The fishermen village women by the beach once harvested the seeds, leaves and stems of Suaeda salsa, mixed them with corn flour and steamed them into red steamed buns, saving almost an entire generation. Panjin Red Beach is alive, always catching up with the waves. The tidal flats extend inward at a rate of 50 meters per year, and Red Beach will step into the sea step by step with its footprints. Following the Red Beach, we also follow the vitality and hope. At the northern end of the trestle bridge is the ancestral temple. She stands quietly on top of the blue waves, watching the Bohai Bay, watching the thousands of fishermen and people, and has also found spiritual sustenance for the local fishermen. The new winter tourism model of the Red Beach National Scenic Corridor was officially launched on December 1, and the three major sections and seven series of tourism projects in winter also officially met with you.
