Saline environments are habitats characterised by highly saline soils in which salinity factors are considered as drivers of plant community structure. As consequence of these stressful conditions, halophytes are distributed in a well-marked zonation within Mediterranean saltmarshes along the salinity gradient. In this framework, the aim of this study is to assess the effect of salinity on seed germination of four coexisting halophyte species, obtaining results that explain local assemblage processes in the semi-arid Mediterranean. Seeds were collected in Agua Amarga Saltmarsh in Alicante and were germinated during 30 days under controlled conditions at different salinity treatments (0%, 1%, 2%, 4% y 6%). After this experiment, non-germinated seeds were transferred to dishes with distilled water. Final germination percentage (FGP) and mean time-to-germinate (MTG) were calculated for both experiments. Overall, the results showed the germination and its rate of speed decreases when the salinity increases. Besides, after exposing the seeds to distilled water after the saline stress, successful germination was achieved, observing latency or dormancy seed in stressful conditions. These findings provide further information to existing studies on the germination responses of halophytes to salinity stress. Hence, these results are a useful data that expand the current knowledge on the ecological patterns of halophytes and help to understand the local assembly rules.
