• Occurrence of Amphibians in Saline Habitats: A Review and Evolutionary Perspective (2015, neutral): “…(Gornitz 1995; Nicholls et al. 1999; Purcell et al. 2008; Rios-López 2008), road deicing salt application (Environment Canada 2001; Thunqvist 2004; Kaushal et al. 2005; Cañedo-Argülles et al. 2013), and secondary salinization (Williams 2001; Christy and Dickman 2002; Chinathamby et al. 2006;…”
• Global Water Pollution and Human Health (2010, neutral): “Increasing salt loads entering surface water via road salt and excessive irrigation pose another long-term problem (13).”
• State of the world's freshwater ecosystems: physical, chemical, and biological changes. (2011, neutral): “Chloride concentrations often surpass chronic and acute toxicity levels (108); thus, they represent a major stressor of resident biota.”
• Salinisation of rivers: an urgent ecological issue. (2013, neutral): “Kaushal et al. (2005) predicted that baseline chloride concentrations in many rural streams in the USAwould exceed 250 mg L 1 (z417 mg NaCl L 1), thereby becoming toxic to sensitive freshwater organisms and not potable for human consumption.”
• Road Salt Stress Induces Novel Food Web Structure and Interactions (2011, neutral): “Unique zooplankton Chloride treatment assemblages have been recorded among differing aniondominated lakes in Alberta, Canada and data suggests that copepods are intolerant or limited in their ability to adapt to high concentrations of chloride ions (Derry et al. 2003).”
• Linking Flow Regime and Water Quality in Rivers: a Challenge to Adaptive Catchment Management (2008, neutral): “A study made in the northeastern USA showed that chloride concentration in rivers and streams increased at a rate that threatens the availability of freshwater (Kaushal et al. 2005).”
• Exploring the effects of salinization on trophic diversity in freshwater ecosystems: a quantitative review (2018, neutral): “…also has important applied implications, because differential vulnerability in the face of increasing anthropogenic salinization may result in significant changes to freshwater ecosystems humans depend on (Hart et al., 1991; Nielsen et al., 2003; Kaushal et al., 2005; Kefford et al., 2016).”
• Effects of major ions on natural benthic communities: an experimental assessment of the US Environmental Protection Agency aquatic life benchmark for conductivity (2016, neutral): “Salinization of streams and rivers is considered one of the most important threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater ecosystems (Kaushal et al. 2005) and is recognized as a stressor of global concern (Cañedo-Argüelles et al.”
