This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi Continue reading...

Human Impacts on Salt Marshlands

Salt Marshes
Although less regarded by the public as an important ecosystem, salt marshes are among the most fertile and abundant coastal habitats on earth. According to Bromberg Gedan, Silliman, and Bertness from Brown University and University of Florida, Gainesville (2009), salt marshes provide more ecosystem services (anthropogenic benefits from nature) to coastal populations than other ecosystems. These intertidal habitats are composed of salt-tolerant grasses, herbs, and low shrubs, in great depths, and serve many functional dynamics. Salt marshes are located in a range of climates, from arctic and subtropical regions, and are always found along global coastlines. The Continue reading...
