The rapid increase in saline wastewater discharge has severely affected the aquatic
environment. Furthermore, the presence of salinity in the wastewater severely limits the …

A great portion of Earth's freshwater and land resources are salt-affected and thus have
restricted use or may become unsuitable for most human activities. Some of the recent …

Background Freshwater salinization may result in significant changes of microbial
community composition and diversity, with implications for ecosystem processes and …

Freshwater salinisation is a growing problem, yet cross-regional assessments of freshwater
salinity status and the impact of agricultural and other sectoral uses are lacking. Here, we …

Globally, temperature and precipitation patterns are predicted to change markedly as a
result of climate change. Particularly, the regions with a cold or hot semi-arid climate and the …

Inland waters are one of the largest natural sources of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse
gas, but emissions models and estimates were developed for solute-poor ecosystems and …

When it comes to the investigation of key ecosystems in the world, we often omit salt from the
ecological recipe. In fact, despite occupying almost half of the volume of inland waters and …

In spite of being a worldwide phenomenon that can have important ecological, economic
and social consequences, freshwater salinization (ie the increase in ion concentrations in …

Salinization of freshwater resources is a growing water quality challenge, which may
negatively impact both sectoral water-use and food security, as well as biodiversity and …

Chemical pollution is one of the major threats to global freshwater biodiversity and will be
