salinitydependent
Salinity-dependent, sometimes written salinitydependent, is an adjective used in science to denote a property or process that varies with the salinity of the surrounding medium. It signals that the magnitude or behavior of the phenomenon changes as the salt concentration changes, rather than remaining constant.
In ecology and marine science, salinity-dependent responses influence species distributions, osmoregulatory strategies, and community composition, especially
In chemistry and environmental engineering, salinity-dependent processes include changes in solubility and speciation of ions, activity
Measurement and modeling commonly use practical salinity measured in practical salinity units (PSU). Salinity is determined
Applications include management of coastal ecosystems, aquaculture, desalination and wastewater treatment, and studies of pollutant transport
