“…Cl − uptake by plants in the ponds’ vegetated buffers could also contribute to Cl − inputs being higher than outputs (Guesdon, de Santiago‐Martín, & Galvez‐Cloutier, 2016; Morteau, Triffault‐Bouchet, Galvez, & Martel, 2015; Rozema, Gordon, & Zheng, 2014). However, as plants draw in very small quantities of Cl − and consistent plant uptake of Cl − tends to rely on plant harvest, which did not occur in DH or OAK, the impact of plant uptake of Cl − on the overall mass balance is negligible.…”

Chloride (Cl −) in urban waterways largely originates from runoff containing deicing salts. Cl − is retained in watersheds after deicing ends, resulting in deleterious effects on aquatic biota. Stormwater management ponds (SWMPs), designed to mitigate 'flashy' urban runoff response, are known to impact pollutant transport. However, there is little information on what role SWMPs play in the timing and magnitude of Cl − transport over different timescales. This study quantifies the mass of Cl − retained in two SWMPs over varying timescales. Both ponds are in an urbanizing watershed in south-central Ontario; one drains a commercial area, the other, a residential area. High frequency measurements of water level and specific conductivity, from which flow and Cl − concentration were derived, were taken with sensors at pond inlets and outlets. For one SWMP, data were also collected upstream and downstream of the confluence of the pond outflow and the receiving creek to quantify the in-stream response to Cl −laden pond outflows. The findings suggest that SWMPs likely play a role in watershedscale Cl − retention; one SWMP consistently retained Cl − while the other had variable retention and release of Cl −. In the receiving creek, Cl − concentrations downstream of the pond exceeded the acute toxicity threshold for aquatic organisms twice as often as concentrations upstream of the pond, and Cl − pulses corresponded to Cl − release events from the pond. The results of this study suggest that SWMPs concentrate spatially distributed salt inputs and modify the timing and magnitude of their release to receiving streams. Stream reaches that receive water inputs from SWMPs may be more vulnerable to Cl − toxicity than reaches that do not receive flow via SWMPs. The results of this study will help parameterize the role of SWMPs in watershed-scale Cl − transport models and geospatial models of salt vulnerable areas.

“…Under salt stress, seeds did not germinate even at a lower concentration of NaCl (50 mM NaCl). Based on literature (Guesdon et al 2016 ), this concentration is considered as mild saline solution. The sensitivity of this species during the germination on the presence of NaCl in the medium, previous studies have also shown (Friell et al 2013 ; Zhang et al 2013 ; Borawska-Jarmułowicz et al 2017 ).…”

“…We found that salinity had small effect in the initial period of NaCl application on number of shoots, as well as fresh and dry mass of plants during tillering phase (Table 2 ). The reduction of aboveground mass of plants was found only after 21 days of salinity, although according to literature (Czarna 2013 ; Guesdon et al 2016 ) concentrations of NaCl used in the study are considered as hypersaline solutions. The winter season in Poland begins on October 15 of a given year and continues until April 14 of the following year.…”

Salts used in road de-icing during winter season inhibit the growth and development of lawn grass species. The mechanism of plant tolerance/sensitivity to such treatments is still not clear. Moreover, there is a lack of fast and non-invasive tool to detect the effect of these salts on plants growth. This study was designed to understand the tolerance mechanism of Kentucky bluegrass plants on salinity, based on some biometric and physiological parameters. In this experiment, we simulated the urban conditions where salts are used intensively for roads de-icing. Germination capacity was evaluated at five salt solutions of NaCl (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM), and physiological parameters were measured during the tillering phase at salinity levels of 0, 150 and 300 mM of NaCl. Seeds of Kentucky bluegrass did not germinate under salinity. During tillering phase, salinity affected length, area and dry mass of roots as well as the relative water content of plants, negatively. Moreover, it influenced the maximum chlorophyll fluorescence yield, quantum yield of photosystem II and electron transport rate at early period of stress. This allows us to recommend these parameters for early detection of soil salinity effects on Kentucky bluegrass plants. It seems to be that the tolerance of this plant towards salinity is based on retaining water content in leaves that allow more efficient functioning of photosynthetic apparatus.

By combining their high potential of Cl − accumulation and relatively high biomass, some halophytes can be used in phytoremediation to treat soils and e uents (Fountoulakis et al, 2017;Gorai et al, 2010;Guesdon et al, 2016;Jesus et al, 2015Jesus et al, , 2017McSorley et al, 2016b;Morteau et al, 2009;Calheiros et al, 2009Calheiros et al, , 2008Rozema et al, 2014). However, little is known about how the age of a plant affects its aclimation to harmful saline media and its capacity to take up and store ions, and speci cally chloride.…”

Anthropogenic activities can be the source of saline solid wastes that need to be treated to reduce their salt load to meet the purposes of reuse, valorization or storage. In this context, chloride remediation can be achieved using high-salt accumulating plants. However, there is very limited information on the comparative potential of different species in the same environment, and only scarce data concerning their efficiency as a function of growth stage. In order to rationalize these selection criteria, three macrophytes i.e. common reed (Phragmites australis), sea rush (Juncus maritimus) and cattail (Typha latifolia) were cultivated at two growth stages (6-months old and 1-year old) for 65 days in Cl- spiked substrates (from 0 up to 24 ‰ NaCl). The plants’ survival and potential capacity for removal of Cl- from substrates and accumulation in shoots were investigated. For the three studied species, mature and juvenile plants display a high tolerance to salinity. However, mature specimens with higher shoot biomass and Cl- contents are capable of greater chloride removal than juvenile plants. The sole exception is P. australis which displays just the same phytoremediation potential for both mature and juvenile specimens. Moreover, P. australis has the lowest potential when compared with other species, being 1.5 and 3 times lower than for J. maritimus and T. latifolia. When considering the plant growth and the shoot biomass production, chloride removal rates from the substrate point that mature J. maritimus should preferentially be used to design an operational chloride remediation system. The results highlight the relevance of considering the growth stage of plants used for Cl- removal.
