The table below shows salinity tests from coastal Louisiana following a salt water influx during hurricanes Katrina and Rita. If efforts are not made to reduce the salinity in these areas, what is the most likely long term effect? (4 points) Salinity Tests Data Table. Image shows list of vegetation types with typical salinity ranges and maximum salinity measured. Data for swamp vegetation indicates a salinity range from 0-0.5 with a maximum salinity measured of 8. Data for fresh marsh vegetation indicates a salinity range from 0-3 with a maximum salinity measured of 26. Data for intermediate marsh vegetation indicates a typical salinity range from 2-8 with a maximum salinity measured of 26. Data for brackish marsh vegetation indicates a typical salinity range from 4-10 with a maximum salinity measured of 34. Data for saline marsh vegetation indicates a typical salinity range from 8-29 with a maximum salinity measured of 30.

a
A growth in the population of salt-intolerant types of plants

b
A shift in species composition to less salt-tolerant plants

c
A shift in species composition to more salt-tolerant plants

d
An increase in the diversity of salt-intolerant plants
