AB Seedlings of 13 pine species were sprayed with either NaCI spray or distilled water for 3 consecutive winters. Pinus thunbergii, P. ponderos., and Pinus nigr. were generally most tolerant, with the least foliar injury, best survival, and least growth reduction. Pinus strobus, P. banksiana, P. cembra, P. peuc., and P. densiflor. were most susceptible. Species intermediate in susceptibility were P. strobiformis, P. aristata, P. parviflora, P. resinos., and P. sylvestri.. Species with the lowest internal sodium and chloride levels after treatment generally were most tolerant to the salt spray.
