Plants here have evolved to use the summer fog to get enough water during the dry summer season. These plants that make up these ecosystems have to be tolerant of high salt levels in the air and soil. Coyote Brush, a member of the Coastal Scrub community, accumulates salt from the air in its foliage and roots, increasing the salt content of the soil when it dies.
