The Tuzlivsky Lagoons in the Odesa Region Have Dried Up: Consequences of Global Warming.

According to inkorr.com: In the Tuzlivsky Lagoons National Nature Park in the Odesa region, severe consequences of global warming are observed — water bodies are beginning to dry up. This was reported by Doctor of Biological Sciences Ivan Rusev, who works in the park.

As Rusev noted, the name of the reserve comes from the word 'tuz', which in Turkic means 'salt'. During the drop in the level of the Black Sea, the water receded far from the shore, which led to the drying up of the lagoons and the formation of salt.

'Some water bodies in the park, which depend on the inflow from the mainland, have dried up for the first time in many years due to the hot summer. We observe how all small rivers and streams that flow into the lagoons are drying up. The level of the large Tuzlivsky lagoons is decreasing due to evaporation,' explains the scientist.

Rusev also published photos of the reservoir and the Maloshagansky lagoon near the village of Vishneve, where 'salt instead of water' can be seen. According to him, climate change can significantly affect the world ocean, which is extremely unstable. Such phenomena are classified as transgression and regression.

It should be noted that the southern regions of Ukraine are subject to significant climate changes, which pose a serious challenge to the agricultural sector.

Danger to Agriculture: Global Warming and Ukrainian Vegetables

Candidate of Geographical Sciences Vera Balabukh from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine notes that global warming threatens the cultivation of traditional vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, and cucumbers due to changes in climatic conditions.

The analysis of Vera Balabukh's opinion highlights not only the consequences of global warming in the Tuzlivsky Lagoons National Nature Park but also the threats that may arise for Ukrainian agriculture due to climate-related changes.
