0 the fact of containing salt of the amount of salt contained in something: --
1 a measure of the amount of salt dissolved in water, esp. sea water --
Extreme salinity levels feature biota dependent upon "abnormal" conditions, which may represent forms of life that could possibly inhabit extraterrestrial planets.
The up-estuary, tidally averaged salinity increases with increasing tidal range and decreasing run-off.
The infection process of mullets with these cercariae is discussed in relation to salinity conditions prevailing in a brackish water stream.
For conservation programmes involving reseeding, we have identified germination protocols that will ensure very high levels of germination even at full salinity.
Over the years different instruments have been developed for sampling the most important environmental variables (salinity, density and temperature) but each has its own limitations.
The movement away from intensive cereal monoculture systems could lead to a reduced incidence of water-induced degradation problems, such as salinity build up.
Since the emergence pattern of marine trematodes has rarely been studied, the role of salinity is poorly elucidated.
Effects of drought and salinity on heterotrophic nitrogen fixing bacteria and on infection of legumes by rhizobia.
