Changes in Alaska’s rivers: they began to resemble vinegar

Some rivers have even become incredibly acidic, with pH levels comparable to vinegar. This affects the vegetation and wildlife of the rivers, posing a threat to biodiversity in the area.

Experts say the changes are a stark warning of the need to better monitor the impact of climate change on Alaska’s natural water resources. It is important to take measures to improve the condition of river ecosystems in order to preserve their biodiversity and purity for future generations.
