•Laurustinus had higher capacity to recover from salinity than euonymus.•Gas exchange recovery in WW laurustinus plants was related to their water status.•At the end of the assay, laurustinus biomass was less damaged than that of euonymus. The scarcity of water has frequently led to saline water bei...
