Salinity and pH effects on floating and emergent macrophytes in a constructed wetland
(IWA Publishing, 2017-12)
Salvinia herzogii, Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes (floating species) were the dominant macrophytes in a constructed wetland (CW) over the first years of operation. Later, the emergent Typha domingensis displaced ...
Elongation growth in leaf blades of Chloris gayana under saline conditions
(Elsevier, 2003)
In Chloris gayana, salinity-associated yield decreases are due mainly to leaf area reductions. To understand the physiological basis for such reduction, the effects of salinity were studied on the spatial and temporal ...
Physiological causes for decreased productivity under high salinity in Boma, a tetraploid Chloris gayana cultivar
(CSIRO Publishing, 2001)
Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) is widely cultivated in the semi-arid tropics and favoured for salt tolerance; nevertheless, productivity decreases significantly under saline conditions, especially in tetraploid ...
Decreased reactive oxygen species concentration in the elongation zone contributes to the reduction in maize leaf growth under salinity
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2004-06)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the apoplast of cells in the growing zone of grass leaves are required for elongation growth. This work evaluates whether salinity‐induced reductions in leaf elongation are related to altered ...
Effect of salinity on locomotor performance and thermal extremes of metamorphic Andean Toads (Rhinella spinulosa) from Monte Desert, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-05)
Rhinella spinulosa is distributed from Peru to Argentina (from 1200 to 5000 m elevation), inhabiting arid mountain valleys of the Andes, characterized by salty soils. The variations in soil salinity, caused by high ...
Microbial mat contribution to the formation of an evaporitic environment in a temperate-latitude ecosystem
(Elsevier Science, 2019-08)
An evaporitic environment is characterized by having high salinity, climatic, and hydrological factors that promote a negative water balance; however, biological factors may also influence their development. Modern coastal ...
Bioerosion structures in high-salinity marine environments: Evidence from the Al–Khafji coastline, Saudi Arabia
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-05)
Salinity is one the major stress factors that controls the biotic activities in marine environments. In general, the mixture with fresh-water has been mention as a great stress factor, but the opposite, i.e. high-salinity ...
Effects of salinity on the reproductive cycle of female freshwater shrimp, palaemonetes argentinus
(Crustacean Society, 2010-03)
The South American shrimp Palaemonetes argentinus inhabits inland freshwater habitats such as lakes, rivers and streams, but also coastal brackish marshes and lagoons. Hence, this so-called "freshwater" shrimp is expected ...
Effect of salinity and food concentration on competition between Brachionus plicatilis Müller, 1786 and Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas, 1776 (Rotifera)
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-08)
Natural populations of planktonic rotifers are affected by salinity and food density, among other stressors. Moreover, competition among congeneric species limits the abundance of certain rotifers in ecosystems without ...
Plasticity in sunflower leaf and cell growth under high salinity
(Wiley, 2015-01)
A group of sunflower lines that exhibit a range of leaf Na+ concentrations under high salinity was used to explore whether the responses to the osmotic and ionic components of salinity can be distinguished in leaf expansion ...
