Cascading effects of freshwater salinization on plankton communities in the Sierra Nevada

Emma R. Moffett et al.

Summary: Road salt runoff causes salinization of freshwaters, with significant impacts on aquatic species. The experiment revealed that salt addition increased zooplankton biomass and reduced phytoplankton biomass. Zooplankton showed a salt-limited response at low ionic concentrations, and salinity primarily affected phytoplankton biomass through top-down regulation by grazers.

Lake salinization drives consistent losses of zooplankton abundance and diversity across coordinated mesocosm experiments

Marie-Pier Hebert et al.

Summary: This study conducted a large-scale mesocosm experiment across multiple sites in North America and Europe to investigate the response of lake zooplankton communities to varying chloride concentrations. The findings suggest that crustaceans are more sensitive to elevated chloride levels than rotifers, and that there is a consistent decrease in abundance and taxon richness with increasing salinity across different taxonomic groups. However, functional diversity shows a weaker loss compared to taxonomic diversity.

Current water quality guidelines across North America and Europe do not protect lakes from salinization

William D. Hintz et al.

Summary: Human-induced salinization poses a major threat to freshwater ecosystems. Current water quality guidelines are insufficient to protect lake food webs. New guidelines are urgently needed to safeguard lake ecosystems.

Dietary lipid quality mediates salt tolerance of a freshwater keystone herbivore

Jana Isanta-Navarro et al.

Summary: The susceptibility of freshwater zooplankton to salinization depends on the dietary lipid supply, with sterols and PUFAs having opposite effects on salt tolerance. Assessment of the impact of salinization on freshwater ecosystem functioning should consider differences in phytoplankton community composition related to trophic state.
