Raw Data from morpho-physiological measurements taken from Th. distichum salinity stress trial and the EC values of salt and sea water collected at locations across the Western Cape provinces coastline.

Th. distichum has an inherent ability to withstand a highly saline environment. Through the measurement of important morpho-physiological parameters a better understanding of the extent of this salt tolerance was gained, as well as an indicator of the salt tolerance mechanism at play.
