Groundwater Uptake and Salt Accumulation by Trees over Shallow Water Tables: When trees (in fact all plants) take up water from, or above a water table, groundwater flows towards the roots. With it, the groundwater carries salts, most of which are excluded from the root and so accumulate in the root zone. High root zone salinity limits transpiration and growth of plants.
