Abstract

Abstract
Global climate change is considered the largest threat to the natural environment. To understand Earth's fundamental climate changes. We must look back for millions of years, without humans, climate altered between glacial and interglacial periods, and thus sea levels rise. Some places are already more vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as the coastal areas, as the rising sea level will increase the risk of flooding and erosion around the coasts affecting the distribution of species, and the dynamics of communities. Quick disperser species such as halophytes appear to be capable of long-distance jumps in the wake of climate change. Accordingly, halophytic plant dispersal to keep up with climate change captured our attention. A vegetation survey was done to assess the ecological situation and the movement of extreme halophytic plant species between spatial locations along the study area. Fifty-four sites were selected to represent the variations in vegetation structure along the salinity gradient. As, the measurement of plant dispersal is vital for understanding plant distribution between different spatial locations, providing an effective model of plant dispersal, and predicting future plant distribution and assemblages.
