Salinisation of freshwater has been identified as a serious environmental issue in Australia and around the world. Protective concentrations (trigger values) for salinity can be used to manage salinity impacts, though require locally relevant salinity tolerance information. 72-h acute salinity tolerance values were determined for 102 macroinvertebrates collected from 11 locations in four biolog...

Present study was carried out to assess the effects of soil salinity/sodicity on mineral nutrient status Urochondra setulosa, Leptochloa fusca and Sporobolus marginatus at ICAR- Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana during 2016–19. Treatments (pH ~ 9.5, pH 10, ECe 30 dS/m, 40 dS/m 50 dS/m) were created in microplots (2.5 m × 1.5 0.5 m) using saline/sodic water. Na+ Cl– conte...

The work examines the vital activity of mollusks. About 160 species terrestrial mollusks have been identified in Uzbekistan. It has established that 12 live on plains steppe serozem soils at heights. Psychromezobionts hydromorphic soil among turf and under stones. Typical dark are home to over 20 On brown, brown-mountain-forest, light-brown meadow-steppe soils, 4 endemic live. Brackish-water we...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, which are native to estuaries globally, are agents of seafood-borne or wound infections, both potentially fatal. Like all vibrios autochthonous to coastal regions, their abundance varies with changes in environmental parameters. Sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height (SSH), and chlorophyll have been shown to be predictors of zooplankton ...

Observations from 35 tropical moorings are used to characterize the diurnal cycle in salinity at 1 m depth. The amplitude of diurnal salinity anomalies is up to 0.01 psu and more typically 0.005 psu. Diurnal variations in precipitation and vertical entrainment appear to be the dominant drivers of diurnal salinity variability, with evaporation also contributing. Areas where these processes are s...

Purpose The main aim of this study is to investigate the impact climate change and water salinity on farmer’s income risk with future outlook mitigation. Salinity are a threat agricultural productivity worldwide. However, combined effects impacts farmers' not well understood, particularly in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach response-yield function general maximum entropy method...

BACKGROUND Sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus) are an imperiled fauna exposed to a variety of environmental condition such as salinity and studies are urgently needed to assess their effects to guide aquaculture efforts. The effects of acute salinity stress on coelomic fluid osmotic pressure, ion concentrations, the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase in respiratory trees and the histological variatio...

Invasive species are commonly thought to have broad tolerances that enable them to colonize new habitats, but this assumption has rarely been tested. In particular, the relative importance of acclimation (plasticity) and adaptation for invasion success are poorly understood. This study examined effects of short-term and developmental acclimation on adult salinity tolerance in the copepod Euryte...

[1] Salinity profiles collected by the International Argo Project (International Argo Project data are available at http://argo.jcommops.org) since 2000 provide us an unprecedented opportunity to study impacts of salinity data on the quality of ocean analysis, which has been hampered by a lack of salinity observations historically. The operational Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS) d...
