Effects of Freshwater Salinization and Associated Base Cations on Bacterial Ecology and Water Quality
Anthropogenic freshwater salinization, which is caused by numerous human activities including agriculture, urbanization, and deicing, impacts an estimated 37% of the contiguous drainage area in the United States. High salt concentrations in brackish and marine environments (~1,500 – 60,000 µS cm-1) …

Persistence of Bacteroides ovatus under simulated sunlight irradiation
… the presence of exogenous photosensitizers and salinity up to 39.5 parts per thousand at 27oC. UVB was found to be important for B.ovatus decay, averaging a four log10 of decay over 6 h of exposure without the presence of extracellular photosensitizers. The addition of NaNO2, an exogenous …

Unveiling Causal Links, Temporal Patterns, and System-Level Dynamics of Freshwater Salinization Using Transit Time Distribution Theory
Inland freshwater salinity is rising worldwide and threatens the quality of our water resources, a phenomenon called the freshwater salinization syndrome (FSS). Simultaneously, the practice of indirect potable reuse (IPR) that augments critical water supplies with treated wastewater to enhance …

The effects of salinity on the cutaneous microbiome and pathogen infection on the Pacific Tree frog (Pseudacris regilla) in Monterey Bay, California, USA
… declines worldwide. Changes in precipitation and salinity have altered watershed systems and microbial communities, reducing habitat availability and physiological performances for amphibian survival. The salt refuge hypothesis, however, is a proposed explanation that higher saline environments …

Salinity tolerance and osmoregulation in several subtropical decapods
This study investigated salinity tolerances and osmoregulatory strategies of several subtropical brachyuran mangrove crabs and an anomuran prawn, with particular reference to Uca vocans, Uca urvillei, Uca chlorophthalmus, Uca annulipes, Dotilla fenestrata, Macrophthalmus depressus, Macrophthalmus …

Upstream Population Gradient Drives Freshwater Salinization in the Occoquan Watershed
Increased salinization of inland freshwater resources is present on a global scale, but is pro- gressing rapidly in the densely populated Mid-Atlantic United States. This phenomenon threatens aquatic health, ecosystem services and functionality, and can alter the percep- tion of potable drinking …
