You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Salt pruning''' is the process by which [[Saline water|saline]] mists generated by [[seawater]] are driven ashore by winds and thus over time alter the shape of trees or shrubs. The process degrades foliage and branches on the windward side of the plant that faces the body of saline water, more than it does the foliage on the landward side. The resultant growth form is asymmetrical, appearing "swept back" away from the ocean.

==Examples==
There are numerous examples worldwide of this phenomenon, though it usually appears on coasts near saline water. In the eastern [[United States]] on [[Long Island|Long Island,]] occurrences of salt-pruned ''[[Quercus stellata]]'' are observable in Flax Marsh.<ref>Mineral Science Institute (2005) [http://www.eserc.stonybrook.edu:8080/FlaxPondDigitalLibrary/FlaxPond/index.html]  ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080510133757/http://www.eserc.stonybrook.edu:8080/FlaxPondDigitalLibrary/FlaxPond/index.html|date=May 10, 2008))</ref> In [[San Diego County]], [[California]], a colony of ''[[Pinus torreyana]]'' has been salt-pruned by spray from the [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref>C. Michael Hogan (2008) [http://www.globaltwitcher.com/artspec_info.asp?thingid=62498 "Torrey Pine: ''Pinus torreyana.''"] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711102007/http://www.globaltwitcher.com/artspec_info.asp?thingid=62498 |date=2011-07-11 )) Globaltwitcher, ed. Nicklas Stromberg</ref>

The logo of the [[Torrey Pines Golf Course]] in [[La Jolla, California]], features a salt-pruned Torrey pine.

In the case of [[Fire Island]]'s Sunken Forest, the saline mists prevent new oak shoots from growing above the impacted area.<ref>((Cite web |title=The Sunken Forest Tour: Salt Spray Dynamics (U.S. National Park Service) |url=https://www.nps.gov/places/the-sunken-forest-tour-salt-spray-dynamics.htm |access-date=2024-02-22 |website=www.nps.gov |language=en))</ref> These oaks grow "pruned" by the wind with bundles of bushes and stems at the top to keep it top-heavy. They also grow much shorter than regular oaks due to the salt keeping them below or around the height of the hill. 

== History ==
The first known record of salt pruning was in 1805, though it was called a "storm of salt" by British botanist [[Richard Anthony Salisbury]]. <ref>((Cite journal |last=Salisbury |first=Richard Anthony |date=March 1807 |title=XI. An Account of a Storm of Salt, which fell in January, 1803. |url=https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1096-3642.1807.tb00313.x |journal=Transactions of the Linnean Society of London |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=286–290 |doi=10.1111/j.1096-3642.1807.tb00313.x |issn=1945-9432 |via=Oxford Academic))</ref> Much later, [[Bertram Whittier Wells]] discovered a similar effect at [[Cape Fear (headland)|Cape Fear]], though he described the oak tree's bent form to be the "Salt Spray Climax."<ref>((Cite journal |last=Wells |first=B. W. |date=1939 |title=A New Forest Climax: The Salt Spray Climax of Smith Island, N. C |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2480807 |journal=Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club |volume=66 |issue=9 |pages=629–634 |doi=10.2307/2480807 |issn=0040-9618))</ref>

Later research done in Cape Fear by Stephen G. Boyce between the years 1951-52 found the oaks were not experiencing necrosis due to the abrasion from the salt content and pressure, but instead had grown accustomed to it. The plant life in the Cape Cod area showed similar salt pruning. While the leaves did not experience necrosis, they did appear to curl in on themselves.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Boyce |first=Stephen G. |date=1954 |title=The Salt Spray Community |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1943510 |journal=Ecological Monographs |volume=24 |issue=1 |pages=29–67 |doi=10.2307/1943510 |issn=0012-9615))</ref>
