looking for information on salt damage to plants

[David W. Kramer]

>> Hi Folks,

>	I teach an introductory environmental science class at Middlebury
>College.  This spring, we will be doing a study of the effects of deicers
>(including rock salt, and the newer product, "Ice Ban" that the campus is
>using) on plants.  I am searching for information and photos/diagrams that
>relate to the physiological effects of salt on plants, visible signs of salt
>damage to plants, etc.  Do any of you folks have information, photos, or
>ideas of where to look?  Thanks.
