Abstract
Road salt from winter de-icing pollutes negatively impacts aquatic ecosystems and biota. We measured Gammarus survival and leaf herbivory on green and yellow watercress (Nasturtium officinale) leaves at different salinity levels. Survival decreased significantly at 4 ppt salinity, and yellow leaves experienced more herbivory than green leaves across all conditions.
