Attending the IAVS 2022 in person or remotely? Please feel welcome listening to my talk about the role of salinity and salt composition of salt-affected vegetation in the Pannonian basin! It will take place in the Monday morning special session on Challenges on the knowledge of halophytic vegetation.
