Saltcedar Lesson Plan. Once saltcedar takes over an area, it keeps other plants out by oozing salt from its leaves. Soon, birds, animals, and even insects are driven away to look for food elsewhere. How does this plant affect habitats and ecosystems? Students will examine the impacts of saltcedar and participate in a webbing activity to understand ecosystem dynamics when saltcedar invades the landscape.
