Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]
Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.

Sodicity stress differently influences physiological traits and anti-oxidant enzymes in pear and peach cultivars [PDF]
Background The growth and physiological responses to sodicity stress of pear and peach are poorly understood. Insights into how sodicity stress alters tree physiology remain vital to developing salt tolerant scion and rootstock cultivars.

Measurement of streaming potential coupling coefficient in sandstones saturated with natural and artificial brines at high selenity [PDF]
We report experimental measurements of the streaming potential coupling coefficient in sandstones saturated with NaCl-dominated artificial and natural brines up to 5.5 M (321.4 g L−1 of NaCl; electrical conductivity of 23 S m−1).

Ocean temperature and salinity components of the Madden-Julian oscillation observed by Argo floats [PDF]
New diagnostics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) cycle in ocean temperature and, for the first time, salinity are presented. The MJO composites are based on 4 years of gridded Argo float data from 2003 to 2006, and extend from the surface to 1,400 ...
