This paper focuses on a preliminary study of the use of halophytes to manage the characteristics of soil. Halophytes, such as switchgrass and salt bush, are capable of altering the characteristics of the soil over time, possibly reducing conductivity and corrosivity. These types of plants have environmental benefits as well. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a noninvasive biomass that can be converted to biofuels after cutting. The root system of switchgrass can reach depths of six feet or more. It can also serve as a forage for wildlife. Plants such as salt bush (Atriplex canascens) are also forages as well as a food source for bees and other pollinators.
