brackish

Examples of brackish in the following topics:

• Mangroves

  • The saline conditions tolerated by various mangrove species range from brackish water, through pure seawater (3 to 4 %), to water concentrated by evaporation to over twice the salinity of ocean seawater (up to 9 %).
  • Mangroves are shrubs or small trees that grow in coastal saline or brackish water.

• Estuaries: Where the Ocean Meets Fresh Water

  • Mixing results in a diluted (brackish) saltwater.

• Streptophytes and Reproduction of Green Algae

  • The remaining green algae, which are more distantly related to plants, belong to a group called Chlorophyta that includes more than 7000 different species that live in fresh or brackish water, in seawater, or in snow patches.

• Estuaries & Marshes

  • Mixing results in a diluted (brackish) saltwater.
  • A salt marsh or saltmarsh, also known as a coastal salt marsh or a tidal marsh, is a coastal ecosystem in the upper coastal intertidal zone between land and open salt water or brackish water that is regularly flooded by the tides.

• Early Eukaryotes
