This study reviews the chemical properties of inland soda-saline lakes of the EARV …

The extreme environmental conditions of the diverse saline inland waters (soda lakes and
pans, hypersaline lakes and ponds) of the Carpathian Basin are an advantage for …

Uchalli Lake is an internationally significant Ramsar site that needs protection for supporting
migratory birds. The current study aimed to assess wetland health by examining water and …

Abstract Badain Jaran Desert (BJD), characterized by extremely arid climate and tallest sand

Soda lakes are saline and alkaline ecosystems that are considered to have existed since the
first geological records of the world. These lakes support the growth of ecologically and …

We have developed a new concept on the formation of diverse geochemical types of salt
lakes, in particular for those in the Transbaikal region. This concept explains the nature of …

The rare earth elements are increasingly used in high-tech enabling technologies and have
become emerging (micro) contaminants. Their environmental impact is poorly known and …

Understanding the spatial scales at which organisms can adapt to strong natural and human-
induced environmental gradients is important. Salinization is a key threat to biodiversity …

Soda-saline lakes are a special type of alkaline lake in which the chloride concentration is
greater than the carbonate/bicarbonate concentration. Due to the high pH and a usually …

While water transfer from rivers to alkaline lakes has been proposed to solve lake water
level drawdown and ecological degradation problems, its effectiveness for achieving …
