Whilst the range of economic uses of S. caseolaris make it an attractive choice for replanting
schemes (JAYATISSA et al., 2006) the present results and its distribution suggest that it is
not suitable for medium (or high) saline areas. S. caseolaris was the fastest growing species
studied (Fig. 2g), supporting the idea of a physiological trade-off between speed of growth
and salinity tolerance (HOGARTH, 2007).
