Coastal wetlands provide invaluable ecosystem services but are threatened by climate change effects. Soil salinisation and drought are the abiotic factors with the greatest impact on plants. In this study, three common grass species from the Spanish Mediterranean coast, Imperata cylindrica, Phragmites australis, and Saccharum ravennae, were exposed to high salinity and water stress treatments. Then, the concentrations of stress biomarkers, such as photosynthetic pigments, ions, osmolytes, oxidative stress markers, antioxidant metabolites, and antioxidant enzyme activities, were determined. Saccharum ravennae showed the highest sensitivity to salt stress, whereas I. cylindrica was the most tolerant by activating mechanisms such as ion transport blockade and osmolyte accumulation.
