Saline lake charophytes and their geological significance
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1980Abstract Charophytes are found in some ephemeral saline lakes in Australia. Healthy green charophytes, bearing oogonia, are frequently observed at salinities ca. 1-2 times that of seawater. Field observations of salinity tolerance are confirmed by experiments which demonstrate photosynthetic 14 C-carbon dioxide fixation at these ...

Saline Lakes and Lake Districts
1997Qinghai—Tibet Plateau in southern Asia has an average elevation of over 4500 m and fully deserves its description as the roof of the world. Numerous bright and colourful lakes of various sizes are scattered over the vast plateau and constitute an important feature of the natural landscape of the region.

The salinization mechanism of Lake Kinneret
Journal of Hydrology, 1992The source of brine that has caused the salinization of Lake Kinneret is still disputed. Another controversial issue is whether the driving head of the brine is freshwater dependent, or whether it has a driving head of its own. This paper describes the various hypotheses regarding the origin of the brine and the salinization mechanism in the lake ...

The carbon balance of a saline lake (lake Grevelingen, The Netherlands)
Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 1984Abstract An annual gross carbon balance is presented for Lake Grevelingen, a shallow saline lake in the SW part of The Netherlands. Planktonic primary production is the main source of organic material, with an estimated contribution of at least 60%.

Comparative Geochemistry of Marine Saline Lakes
1995Saline lakes may be classified into two groups on the basis of the primary water source for the lake. These groups are the athalassic (nonmarine) and the marine saline lakes. Athalassic saline lakes receive freshwater input and become saline owing to the high evaporation rates of the arid or semiarid climatic regions in which these lacustrine systems ...

1987
Most of the chapters of this Symposium have dealt with terrestrial ecosystems. However, a limnologist studying a lake ecosystem has a substantial advantage over most of his terrestrially oriented colleagues: he knows the boundary of his system. Of course the situation is somewhat complicated by in- and outflows, so that not even lakes can be regarded ...

Saline lake ecosystems of Mexico
Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management, 1998Abstract This paper aims to draw attention to the need to better know and understand Mexican saline lakes. It does this by outlining their distribution, abundance and location and their physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The influence of climatic factors on saline lakes is discussed. To sharpen the focus of the general discussion, a few

Paleolimnological studies of saline lakes
Journal of Paleolimnology, 1993Salt water lakes are located in arid to semi-arid regions where evaporation rates exceed precipitation rates. As such, saline lakes are very sensitive to changes in their hydrological cycle. Research into the current limnology of saline lakes is expanding as population growth in these regions increases.
