Riassunto: Southern ash (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl.) response to increasing levels of salinity (to 200 mM NaCl) was evaluated for seed germination and first-year seedling physiology. Germination was significantly reduced over 50 mM NaCl, due to osmotic effects. During June to end July ash seedlings showed a sharp reduction in growth, photosynthetic efficiency and potential, and differences in isotope discrimination ratios with salinity levels above 100 mM NaCl. Mortality was observed above 150 mM NaCl, suggesting a moderate to high salt tolerance for this species
