This study focused on the survival of target species under saltwater-intruded conditions and the potential for these plants to survive and alter cation concentrations (e.g. calcium [Ca], magnesium [Mg], potassium [K], and sodium [Na]) in soil.

Chapter 1: Urban production systems is part of the online publication "From Surviving to Thriving: Strategies for Urban Farm Success. In agricultural contexts, the word production is used as shorthand to refer to all the activities involved in physically growing, raising, or making the products (vegetables, flowers, meat, eggs, hot sauce, an agritourism experience, etc.) that will eventually be sold.
