Abstract
Terrestrial plants are often found in extreme environmental conditions, such as
water deficiency, unbalanced temperature, high salinity, and soil pollution. The
study of plants under stress conditions can help to find a solution in the context of
biodiversity conservation. Tamarix genus contains more than 85 species among
them Tamarix articulata (aphylla, orientalis) and Tamarix gallica found under
natural stresses. The two species represent a great ubiquity in the Algerian area
whether under drought, soils salinity, calcareous soils, and polluted soils. They
represent typical thermo-xerophytes plants. In order to studies the comportment
of Tamarix articulata and Tamarix gallica in the stressed Algerian area we want
to define in this chapter the biological strategies adapted by these two species
under stresses areas morphologically, biochemically, and physiologically. Ions,
heavy metals, and pollutants can be taken up by Tamarix species; this selective
