Due to associated flooding and high rainfall, the resulting change in salinity disrupts coral osmosis, which can result in coral death.

Not exact matches

Farmland is vanishing in part because the salinity in the soil is rising as a result of climate change and other human - made phenomena.

While the new formula, which accounts for both temperature and salinity, can be used to forecast tropical cyclone intensity in real time, it can also be applied to the results of climate modeling to provide scientists with a framework to evaluate changes in future tropical cyclone activity.

Our model result also showed that the maximum Revelle factors (Δ [CO2] / [CO2]-RRB- / (Δ [DIC] / [DIC]-RRB- among varied pH values (6 — 9) and DIC concentrations (0.5 — 3.5 mmol kg − 1) were between pH 8.3 and 8.5 in fresh water and were between 7.3 and 7.5 in waters with a salinity of 35, reflecting the changing efficiency of dissolving CO2 gas into the DIC solution and the varying stability of this desired DIC solution.

The study, published in the journal Global Change Biology, examined the impacts of rising ocean temperatures, changes in salinity and currents resulting from a warming climate.

Every year thousands of people die of easily preventable water - related diseases, and as a result of climate change and unplanned shrimp farming the area experiences frequent natural disasters, erratic rainfall and a steady increase in the salinity of the water table.

For example, the resulting changes in ocean salinity and pH can inhibit calcification in shell - bearing organisms that are either habitat - forming (e.g., coral reefs, oyster reefs) or the foundation of food webs (e.g., plankton)(The Copenhagen Diagnosis 2009).

States that an analysis of observed and modeled oceanic salinity changes shows that significant changes of salinity, which are predicted in the World's oceans as a result of human influence, are beginning to emerge
