2018, Chemical GeologyCitation Excerpt :The salinity of wetland ponds is an important control on habitat suitability for aquatic biota and ranges widely (total dissolved solids [TDS] from < 0.5 g L− 1 to > 50 g L− 1) due to complex hydrological controls related to landscape position and climate (Stewart and Kantrud, 1972; Euliss et al., 2004; Hayashi et al., 2016). The primary source of salinity to prairie wetlands is sulfate (SO42 −) generated from silt- and clay-rich glacial till by the oxidation of abundant pyrite and organic sulfur contained in marine shale fragments that were incorporated from bedrock during glaciation (Van Stempvoort et al., 1994). Acidity generated from sulfur oxidation subsequently dissolves carbonate minerals in the till, which further react by ion exchange with clays to evolve salinity along groundwater flowpaths from dilute Ca-HCO3 waters (representative of precipitation and runoff) in recharge areas to more saline, gypsum-saturated Mg-Na-SO4 waters in discharge areas (Hendry et al., 1986; Keller et al., 1991; Goldhaber et al., 2014).
