New research led by LSU alumna Joanna Griffiths of Portland, Oregon, and her faculty adviser, LSU Department of Biological Sciences Associate Professor Morgan Kelly, sheds light on why some oysters are more resistant to freshwater than others. Their results, which were released this week, significantly affect this commercially valuable marine species.

Freshwater habitats such as rivers and wetlands have high biodiversity, but this is being endangered by climate change, increasing the likelihood of floods and drought due to shifting rainfall patterns.
Professor Chris Spray, the lead author of the Freshwater chapter at the University of Dundee, said: Protecting these endangered habitats would necessitate a wholescape catchment solution that integrates ecological, cultural, and socioeconomic processes. Planting trees along riverbanks, for example, will preserve habitats by providing shelter and building thermal refuges, as well as slowing the flow of water to help mitigate flood risk.

Grazing grasslands by a diverse range of animals on the same landscape, such as sheep, cattle, horses, goats, and alpacas, will improve grassland sward diversity and greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions can also be reduced by switching from constant grazing to rotational or hybrid

As winter storms threaten to make driving risky, residents often use salt to melt snow and ice on roads, intersections, and sidewalks. Since thousands of people die or are hospitalized every year due to weather-related collisions, road salt is an effective safety tool.

Kaushal s latest work is the first to look at the complex and interconnected symptoms of Freshwater Salinization Syndrome and how they affect human health. Suppose a concerted management and control approach to human sources of salt is not implemented. In that case, the world s freshwater reserves could face significant challenges at local, regional, and global levels, according to this research.
