Intermittent saline intrusions are a common feature of many coastal lakes and wetlands. These ecosystems are often important sites of biodiversity, biological productivity, and ecosystem ser- vices such as the removal of sediment, nutrients, and contaminants from inflowing rivers. Predicted effects of global climate change, including sea level rise, are likely to intensify saline intrusions into such ecosystems. Analyses of taxonomic diversity and abundance of zooplankton at different salini- ties in Lake Waihola, South Island, New Zealand, are supported by results of laboratory studies of salinity tolerances of 3 crustacean taxa Gladioferens pectinatus, Boeckella hamata and Daphnia carinata obtained from the lake. The field and laboratory analyses show that severe perturbations of zooplankton community structure and abundance are caused by even minor saline intrusions into Lake Waihola that raise the salinity to >1.2 psu. Our analyses of Lake Waihola, and data from brack- ish ecosystems around the world, show that even relatively small increases in salinity levels can drive such systems to a state of depleted biodiversity and abundance, altering ecosystem functioning.
