气候变化正导致全球栖息地盐度以前所未有的速度变化。虽然许多关于气候变化的研究都集中在温度的快速变化上，但对环境盐度变化的影响的关注要少得多。因此，关于生物和种群对盐度变化威胁的生理、进化和迁移反应的预测性研究相对缺乏。考虑到盐度是确定水生生境生物地理边界的最重要因素之一，这一遗漏代表了一个重大疏忽。从这个角度来看，我们简要地探讨了生物和种群对当代时间尺度上发生的盐度快速变化的反应。然后，我们讨论了可能赋予某些分类群恢复力的因素，使它们能够在快速的盐度变化中生存。接下来，我们将考虑预测地理分布如何随着盐度变化而变化的方法。最后，我们确定了在未来做出更好预测所需的额外数据。未来的气候变化研究应考虑到多种快速变化的环境因素，特别是栖息地盐度。
Climate change is causing habitat salinity to transform at unprecedented rates across the globe. While much of the research on climate change has focused on rapid shifts in temperature, far less attention has focused on the effects of changes in environmental salinity. Consequently, predictive studies on the physiological, evolutionary, and migratory responses of organisms and populations to the threats of salinity change are relatively lacking. This omission represents a major oversight, given that salinity is among the most important factors that define biogeographic boundaries in aquatic habitats. In this perspective, we briefly touch on responses of organisms and populations to rapid changes in salinity occurring on contemporary time scales. We then discuss factors that might confer resilience to certain taxa, enabling them to survive rapid salinity shifts. Next, we consider approaches for predicting how geographic distributions will shift in response to salinity change. Finally, we identify additional data that are needed to make better predictions in the future. Future studies on climate change should account for the multiple environmental factors that are rapidly changing, especially habitat salinity.
