===Salt tolerance===  

The low, medium and high categories indicate the tolerance of plant species to [[salt]] exposure and/or uptake. Plant species with low salt tolerance should not be used in any LID practice receiving runoff from salted roads and parking lots. Species with medium salt tolerance can be utilized in LID practices that will be receiving road runoff but should not be in the line of salt spray or be receiving the bulk of the runoff. Species with high salt tolerance should be planted in LID practices that receive road or parking lot runoff that routinely contains road salt.  Few plants are truly halophytic or “salt-loving”.  In most cases, elevated salt levels are temporary and precipitation quickly dilutes and removes salt from the soil profile. The plant lists above under the [[plant lists#Plants selection|Plant Selection]] section includes recommended species for LID practices likely to receive road or parking lot runoff.
