Ball et al. identified that the concentration of K+ in leaves of Avicennia marina decreased under high salinity conditions in a culture solution. With this K+ decrease in the leaf, the photosynthetic capacity declined. This effect suggests the concentration of K+ in leaves and the soil water salinit...
