Growing Salty

Ngangla Ringco sits atop the Tibetan Plateau, breaking up the barren landscape with eye-catching teal and blue. This saline lake sits at an altitude of 4,700 meters, fed by rainfall, Himalayan runoff, and melting glaciers and permafrost. The lake, like many inland bodies of salt water, has no outflow. Instead, water evaporates from the lake, leaving behind any salts that were dissolved in it. Over time, those left-behind salts build up and make the lake ever saltier.

"Seagrasses evolved from their #freshwater ancestors only 3x. To do this required specialized ecological tolerance to high #salinity, lower light, a wide range of temperature tolerances, #underwater carbon capture, different #pathogen defense, structural flexibility and underwater #pollination"
