Table 2 Treatments in the mesocosm experiment. Salinity is given as practical salinity unit (psu) and water level in relation to the soil surface (m). Water level below control level is denoted with minus and water level above control level is denoted with plus sign. C control, IW increased water level, DW decreased water level, DS decreased salinity, IS increased salinity.
