Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution and abundance of algae in saline lakes of Saskatchewan, Canada
TL;DR: Collections of algae, mainly planktonic, were made from 41 saline lakes in southern Saskatchewan and green algae were dominant when lake salinity exceeded 100 g l-1 although diatoms played important roles in most of these highly saline lakes except for Patience Lake.
Book ChapterDOI
Primary production in saline lakes
TL;DR: For more than fifty years man has been trying to measure primary production rates of waters varying from fresh to saline and from inland to marine as discussed by the authors, from indirect methods such as phytoplankton counts and measurement of chlorophyll concentrations to direct methods employing oxygen and carbon-14 light and dark bottle techniques and even diurnal oxygen changes.
Book ChapterDOI
Aquatic macrophytes in saline lakes of the Canadian prairies
TL;DR: Vascular macrophyte species richness decreases with increasing salinity, and species tolerant of high salinities are found over the entire saline spectrum and even extend into subsaline waters and thrive there.
Journal ArticleDOI
5. Primary production in saline lakes: A review
TL;DR: The results of various scientists who have worked on saline lakes and compare them using the parameters employed today will be presented, as well as variability in various related parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Saline Lakes of Saskatchewan II. Locale, Hydrography and other Physical Aspects
TL;DR: The geology and physiography, climate, soils and vegetation of the saline lakes region of southern Saskatchewan are briefly reviewed in this article, where the location and morphometry of 60 saline lakes are determined.
