Abstract

Sodium is essential for animals but not for most plants. Terrestrial sodium comes largely from marine aerosols, so inland ecosystems should have greater potential for sodium limitation than coastal ecosystems. We report a significant decrease of sodium in fruits of four Neotropical Ficus species with distance from presumed marine source.

Information on specimens of four Ficus species including herbarium, locality, collector and specimen number, year of collection, distance of collection locality to the nearest effective marine sodium source, nearest effective marine sodium source, georeferenced locality (lat. and long.), and concentration of twelve minerals (Na, Al, Bo, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K, S, Zn) found in each Ficus fruit specimen.
