Influence of saline intrusion on the wetland ecosystem revealed by isotopic and hydrochemical indicators in the Yellow River Delta, China

Yellow River Delta wetland is a nature reserve with important ecological function and service values. It is of great significance for regional ecological protection and species diversity maintenance to systematically evaluate the impact of saline intrusion on wetlands. Based on the sampling campaign...
