Salix (Willow)
Salix, commonly known as willow, is a diverse genus of woody plants comprising over 400 species, ranging from small shrubs to large trees. Willows are highly adaptable and renowned for their exceptional tolerance to waterlogged conditions, making them essential in wetlands, riverbanks, and boggy areas. With their extensive root systems, willows excel at absorbing excess water, preventing waterlogging, and stabilizing soil, thereby mitigating erosion. Moreover, they possess significant capabilities, in the absorption and accumulation of pollutants from water and soil.
