Classification system: score
Abbreviations:
| Category name | Abbreviation | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | not salt supporting |
| 1 | 1 | salt supporting, but mostly on soils poor in salt (0 - 0.1% Cl-) |
| 2 | 2 | oligohaline (I), often on soils with very low chloride content (0.05 - 0.3% Cl-) |
| 3 | 3 | beta-mesohaline (II), mainly indicating low chloride content (0.3 - 0.5% Cl-) |
| 4 | 4 | alpha/beta-mesohaline (II/III), low to moderate chloride content (0.5 - 0.7% Cl-) |
| 5 | 5 | alpha-mesohaline (III), mostly on soils with moderate chloride content (0.7 - 0.9% Cl-) |
| 6 | 6 | alpha-meso/polyhaline (III/IV), (0.9 - 1.2% Cl-) |
| 7 | 7 | polyhaline (IV), on soils with high chloride content (1.2 - 1.6% Cl-) |
| 8 | 8 | euhaline (IV/V and V), on soils with very high chloride content (1.6 - 2.3% Cl-) |
| 9 | 9 | euhaline to hyperhaline (V - VI), on soils with high and during drought periods extreme salt content (> 2.3% Cl-) |
