Huijia Song et al. discussed the phenotypic plasticity variations in #PhragmitesAustralis under different #Plant–plantInteractions influenced by #salinity. Salinity significantly reduced the biomass, height, density and diameter of P. australis, the functional types of neighboring plants also significantly affected these growth parameters according to the measure.

@yappari
The Gulf of Maine was special in that the cold-salty Labrador Current dominated there. Now, due to climate change, the Labrador Current gets fresher and weaker from Arctic meltwater. And the warm salty Gulf Stream takes over in the Gulf of Maine, letting it warm three times faster than the global oceans. Says so here in a new, beautiful reporting on how this affects coastal and sea life in the GOM: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/gulf-of-maine-climate-change-photographer
If indeed the GOM deep #ocean temperature and #salinity have decreased in the past 6 months, (not mentioned in the NatGeo article but in the article quoted in #1) it would mean that the contribution by the Gulf Stream flowing in from the South got weaker and the Labrador Current was able to resume its dominion temporarily.

US Aims to Improve #Ocean Observations with $ Millions for New Robotic Floats https://www.marinetechnologynews.com/news/improve-ocean-observations-million-635932
"$2.7 million from #Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be used to replenish and expand an important array of robotic #ArgoFloats that measure ocean and #climate data. The #Argo array is made up of a fleet of robotic instruments that measure #temperature and #salinity in the global ocean, drifting freely with #OceanCurrents... helping #NOAA understand the ocean and its role in climate"
