This paper presents new data on the salt tolerance and avoidance mechanisms among various groups of halophytes in India. The halophytic flora in general has positive effect of high saline environments on wgrowth and physiology. The coastal area of the Kachchh district in Gujarat include about 350 km along the Gulf of Kachchh. This study presents data on the element accumulation mechanisms in soil and halophytic flora (succulent and non-succulent). The halophytes were divided into two groups namely succulent with thick and fleshy leaves and stems and non-succulent with thin leaves and stem. The succulent halophytes included species such as Salicornia brachiata, Suaeda fruticosa and Suaeda nudiflora. The non-succulent halophytes include Aeluropus lagopoides and Urochondra setulosa. Plant parts namely leaves or (Phylloclade), stems and roots were analyzed monsoon season. The results of soil and plants mineral ion content differed widely across the intertidal zones in the same habitat. Likewise, the intra species have varied in all nutrient levels and salt concentration. The accumulation of element concentration was high during the monsoon season in the succulent Salicornia brachiata, especially in leaves that showed Na+ reaching high up to 7.6 meq.g− 1, whereas Cl− was noted to be 4.34 meq.g− 1. In the non-succulent halophytes, the accumulation of mineral ion concentration was lower when compared to succulent plants.
