Anthropogenic freshwater salinization affects thousands of lakes worldwide, and yet little is known about how salt loading may shift timing lake stratification spring mixing in dimictic lakes. Here, we investigate the impact on Lakes Mendota Monona, Wisconsin, by deploying under-ice buoys to record salinity gradients, using an analytical approach quantify thresholds that prevent mixing, running...

The same three fatty acids were detected in flax, cotton and castor bean seeds: myristic, plamitic and oleic. In addition, linoleic was found in flax and lauric and stearic in castor bean. The seeds were germinated over a period of 12 days and showed variable changes in the major fatty acids. In the three seeds, salinization with 0.5% and 1.0% NaCl led to decreases or increases in the contents ...

Abiotic stress limits crop productivity [1], and plays a major role in determining the distri‐ bution of plant species across different types of environments. Abiotic stress and its effects on plants in both natural and agricultural settings is a topic that is receiving increasing at‐ tention because of the potential impacts of climate change on rainfall patterns and tempera‐ ture extremes, sal...

The Recife Metropolitan Region (PE, Brazil) appears as a typical "hot spot" illustrating the problems of southern countries such as urbanization or rapid industrial and touristic development. All these factors induce high pressures on water resources both on quantity and quality in the context of global social and environmental changes. This paper focuses on the groundwater geochemistry in a co...

Carbon sequestration strategies highlight tree plantations without considering their full environmental consequences. We combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation. Plantations decreased stream flow by 227 millimeters per y...

Especially over the last 100 years, our unbridled exploitation of the world’s natural resources has severely damaged its vegetation and has also resulted in worrying accumulations of in‐ dustrial wastes and greenhouse gases. Together, these have upset natural ecosystem balances and have created many environment and climatic problems, including rising temperatures, in‐ creasing desertification, ...

A number of indicators and signals that lend themselves to monitoring by remote-sensing satellites provide a warning of land degradation. These include loss of vegetative cover, wind and water erosion, soil salinization, deterioration of the soil structure, drier soil, increased reflectance, higher land surface temperatures, and changes in land cover type. But because soil and vegetation change...

Salinization of land poses a serious threat and harms all industries, including the environment, agriculture, economy, so on. In this regard, topic is very relevant today. The object research agriculture Republic Uzbekistan. aim study impact saline soils on in current state reclamation systems, processes soil salinization quality irrigation water, as well features manifestation secondary irriga...

The real-time monitoring and driving force research of soil salinization in semi-arid grassland are great significance for regional local ecological environment protection, management, sustainable development. We selected a typical “mine-town-agriculture-pastureland-industry” interlaced ecologically fragile area as the study area. Based on method SI (Salinization Index)-Brightness feature space...
