Salt tolerance of southern baldcypress

Abstract

Cypress-tupelo swamps provide numerous benefits, ranging from wildlife habitat (in south Louisiana, bald eagle nests were found in cypress-tupelo forests 93 % of the time) to forest products (baldcypress lumber is valuable for its rot resistance). These forests also help protect many natural and developed areas by absorbing wind and water energy from hurricanes. After a hurricane, tree survival in cypress-tupelo swamps is much higher than for other hardwood forests in coastal areas.
