Introduction to Salt Pans

We studied the abundance of microplastics from commercial table salts and table salts from salt pans at Marakkanam and Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India.

It is intensively characterized by salt mineralization and salt pans.

Moreover, the occurrence of some species of cyanobacteria, diatoms and green algae is restricted only to the high salinity level salt pans and hypersaline environments.

salina, isolated from the salt pans of Goa.

Potential restoration of all salt pans (320 ha) to estuarine habitat was estimated to result in a gain of 67 850 Mg C.

A total of 344 halophilic bacteria were isolated from fish fermentation broths, solar salt crystals, seawater, and muds from ponds of salt pans in Vietnam and subjected to aroma evaluation using fish broth containing 29 ~ 30% (w/v) NaCl.

The groundwater is found to be impacted mainly due to arid climate as based on SO42−/Cl− ratio, it depicts the similarity with seawater/salt pans.

Palynomarine Index (PMI) reveals the highest freshwater/tidal inundation along Ramannapalem due to the presence of numerous riverine channels while the remaining part of the wetland has restricted tidal inundation leading to the conversion of mangrove forests to salt pans and paddy fields.

The low-lying landforms such as estuaries, backwater creeks, mudflats, swamps, and salt pans are highly susceptible to physical damages due to sea-level rise.

0%, and these wetlands were mainly transformed into aquacultural ponds, salt pans, oil wells and dry land.

Oxygen and carbon isotopic signature of calcite in the sediments extracted from the boreholes, along with major elements and Br concentration, allowed us to recognize the sources of salinity (mainly, local interaction with Roman salt pans and agricultural practices) and the processes of gas–water–rock interaction occurring in the area.

Further, images were classified into 8 classes that include the Aravali hills, barren land, saline soil, salt crust, salt pans, wetland, settlement, and vegetation.

Aftermath of the cyclone is extreme causing land cover changes like defoliation, water logging, destruction of cultivable lands, plantations shrub vegetation, dissolving salt pans etc.

Life in salt pans with varying chemical compositions require special adaptation strategies at both the physiological and molecular level.

It also explores salinity change as an environmental perturbation in terms of various saline ecosystems worldwide, from ice melt/formation in polar regions through to man-made salt pans and desalination plants.

There is also a need to identify the major mesoscale influences on the distributions of types of saltmarsh, obligate saltmarsh plants and salt pans, and evaluate possible responses to macroclimatic changes.

In two birds, foraging mainly took place in mangrove-bordered lagoons, salt pans, creeks, rivers and a complex of abandoned rice fields.

The first report of ants (Formicidae: Hymenoptera) in salt marshes and salt pans in central parts of Iran.

Quaternary borates are present in salars (Andes) and playa-lakes and salt pans (USA and Tibet).

Saline environments across oceans, salt lakes, salt pans, and salterns are home to a myriad variety of microbes, plants, and higher animals.

, salt flats, salt pans) relative to graminoid and mangrove plants.

Brines from salt pans of the Andean plateau hold large lithium reserves on Earth.

Salt pans are unique enclosed ecosystem that is characteristically exposed to a wide range of environmental stress and perturbations manifest mainly through salinity changes.

The authors decided to analyze the emblematic case of Italy, a region where supplies from salt pans or port landings are equally widespread sales channels compared to salts from underground mines.

Herein, 25 types of sea salt samples were collected from salt pans located in the Tuticorin coastal region.

In the central part of the plateau, the Lithium Triangle defines a zone having lithium -rich salt pans.

The coastal area is characterized by the presence of rocky seacliffs, a series of gulfs and shallow bays, beaches, dunes, marshes, mudflats, and salt pans.

5 times increase in LAI over the past three decades, the EQ levels around R1-R3 declined significantly and have deviated greatly from their optimal reference status by 2015, which stemmed mainly from intertidal landscape artificialization, such as establishing salt pans, industrial areas and ports after reclaiming wetlands.
