What are the benefits of Juncus kraussii?

Juncus kraussii, commonly known as saltmarsh rush, offers significant environmental and practical benefits, particularly in coastal and estuarine landscapes. One of its key advantages is its exceptional tolerance to saline and waterlogged soils, making it ideal for planting in saltmarshes, dunes, and estuarine margins. Its dense, fibrous root system is highly effective for erosion control, helping to stabilise soil and reduce sediment runoff. Juncus kraussii also plays an important role in improving water quality by filtering nutrients and trapping pollutants from stormwater. As a native species in New Zealand and Australia, it supports biodiversity, offering habitat and food sources for invertebrates, birds, and other wildlife. Additionally, it is used in cultural and traditional weaving by Māori and Indigenous Australian communities due to the strength and flexibility of its stems. Its adaptability, durability, and ecological value make it a vital plant in both restoration projects and sustainable landscaping.
