Not true, It rained down thus it was a fresh water flood, 40 day flood, its a perfect situation for replication of trees because a seed is not needed when pieces of roots is an easy way to duplicate parent plants.
Have you ever tried to mix salt water with fresh water? Ever noticed how the top tastes just as salty as the bottom after you mixed it? It's called a homogeneous mixture. And no, it's not a 40 day flood. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. It took another year for the water to recede to a safe level.

It says it took a year before it was safe to travel on the earth, not that the water had not yet receded to a safe level.
Ok, so it took another year for the water to recede enough for things to walk on earth again.
That the waters decreased continually for them 10 months means that it didn't start becoming salty till after the freshwaters mixed with the oceans waters.
And how long do you think it took for the salt water to mix in with the fresh water? Because whatever your answer is, the animal would have to spend the rest of the time not drinking any water to stay alive.

Re: Trees can replicate without germination
Well, I don't think anyone knows for sure on such a scale. How about a guestimate? Would you say that it would take over 10 months for complete mixture? Or perhaps only a few months or a few weeks?

Why not take a wide variety of plant seeds and some plant cuttings and swirl them around in salty water for several months and then throw them onto some ground that has been under salty water for a few months and see what grows.
Now, remember that not all plants produce seeds. Also, currently most plant species around the world are very sensitive to environmental changes. A typical houseplant like the spider plant dies if you let the temperature drop down to 60 or so for a few days.
Anyway, moving away from plants, currently there are many species of animal that require daily basking in sunlight to live. A classic example is the iguana, which requires a daily dose of 5-7 hours or so of sunlight to digest its food. Rain for 40 days and 40 nights would have meant no sunlight at all for this poor creature. How did the iguana and similar creatures survive the flood?

Re: Trees can replicate without germination
Side, it's already been established that plants aren't living things. Now, if you want to go through this route, ask if kankaroos are living things, since someone here claimed that they survived the flood and drifted to australia on floating matts of vegetations when the bible clearly said
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground
