“Multidecadal climate change was shown to have increased water temperatures and algae levels in 56 per cent of studies, which is partly responsible for a general decrease in dissolved oxygen concentrations in river water. The review also found droughts and heatwaves led to increased salinity and higher concentrations of pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals.”

mstdn.scienceClimate Science News (@meteomara@mstdn.science)#Climate #News: Climate change is reducing global river water quality: A review of almost 1000 studies on the effects of climate change and extreme weather events on rivers around the world has found an overall negative effect on water quality in rivers globally. An international team of experts sourced from every continent, conducted between 2000-2022.

One way that #PlantScience can help #farmers struggling with the #salination of irrigated land is by building salinity #stress tolerance into important #crop #plants like #rice. Learn how Liu et al. are working towards this goal
