Roads are known for being corridors for not only migration of small animals, but also expansive, invasive and halophytic plants. At least sixteen wildly growing halophytes and many other salt-tolerant species were found along various types of roads in the Czech Republic. The most halophytes belonged to the families of Poaceae (23%) and Asteraceae (20%). Since many plants growing along roads are weeds, there is a real danger that these plants will invade nearby agricultural crops. Thus biological degradation of agricultural areas can be started.
