Potential of wood from saline and dry lands for papermaking

Almost all water on earth is saline. 40% of global land surface consists of dry lands. 15% of this area is salt-affected. Several thousand salt-tolerant plant species are known. Their economic and ecological value has hardly been utilized. We have investigated whether these trees and plants have potential for pulping and paper- and board making.
