Research in biosalinity includes studies of the biochemical and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants, breeding and selection for salt tolerance ( halotolerance ), discovery of periods in a crop plant's life cycle when it may be less sensitive to salt, use of saline irrigation water to increase desirable traits ( such as sugar concentration in a fruit ) or to control the ripening process, study of the interaction between salinity and soil properties, and development of naturally salt-tolerant plant species ( halophytes ) into useful agricultural crops.

He took the same course soon afterwards with four other papers, two of which ( On the quantity of acids, bases and salts in different varieties of salts and On a new and easy method of analysing sugar ) contain his discovery, regarded by him as second in importance only to the atomic theory, that certain anhydrates, when dissolved in water, cause no increase in its volume, his inference being that the salt enters into the pores of the water.

The serendipitous discovery of a spring during the subterranean retreat's excavations enabled it to be filled with the relaxing sound of trickling water, which would quietly echo around the chambers.
