Primary and Net Ecosystem Production in a Large Lake Diagnosed From High-Resolution Oxygen Measurements

Alfred Johny Wüest, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Bieito Fernandez Castro, Hannah Elisa Chmiel, Shubham Krishna, Pascal Perolo

The rates of gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (R), and net ecosystem production (NEP) provide quantitative information about the cycling of carbon and energy in aquatic ecosystems. In lakes, metabolic rates are often diagnosed from die ...

Regimes of primary production and their drivers in Alpine streams

Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth, Marta Boix Canadell, Mélanie Clémençon

Primary production is a fundamental ecosystem process that influences nutrient and carbon cycling, and trophic structure in streams. The magnitude and timing of gross primary production (GPP) are typically controlled by hydrology, light, nutrient availa ...

More from Less? Environmental Rebound Effects of City Size

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems and their metabolism adequately. It has been proposed that bigger and denser cities are more resource-efficient than smaller ones because they tend to demand less infra ...

The Metabolic Regimes at the Scale of an Entire Stream Network Unveiled Through Sensor Data and Machine Learning

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pier Luigi Segatto

Streams and rivers form dense networks that drain the terrestrial landscape and are relevant for biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and transport and transformation of carbon. Yet, resolving in both space and time gross primary production (GPP), ...

Nutrients influence seasonal metabolic patterns and total productivity of Arctic streams

Luis Gómez Gener

The seasonality of gross primary production (GPP) in streams is driven by multiple physical and chemical factors, yet incident light is often thought to be most important. In Arctic tundra streams, however, light is available in saturating amounts througho ...

Analysis of Resource Productivity and Decoupling in Nepal and Bangladesh

Developing Asian countries such as Nepal and Bangladesh have been doing well in recent years in terms of achieving improved economic growth and environmental performance. This study makes an inventory of historical data on energy and material use/intensiti ...

Experimental evidence reveals impact of drought periods on dissolved organic matter quality and ecosystem metabolism in subalpine streams

Tom Ian Battin

Subalpine streams are predicted to experience lower summer discharge following climate change and water extractions. In this study, we aimed to understand how drought periods impact dissolved organic matter (DOM) processing and ecosystem metabolism of suba ...

Quantifying the Benefits of Labor Mobility in a Currency Union

Unemployment differentials are bigger in Europe than in the United States. Migration responds to unemployment differentials, though the response is smaller in Europe. Mundell (1961) argued that factor mobility is a precondition for a successful currency un ...

Continental-scale decrease in net primary productivity in streams due to climate warming

Janine Rüegg

Streams play a key role in the global carbon cycle. The balance between carbon intake through photosynthesis and carbon release via respiration influences carbon emissions from streams and depends on temperature. However, the lack of a comprehensive analys ...

Climate-Induced Changes in Spring Snowmelt Impact Ecosystem Metabolism and Carbon Fluxes in an Alpine Stream Network

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Amber Joy Ulseth

Although stream ecosystems are recognized as an important component of the global carbon cycle, the impacts of climate-induced hydrological extremes on carbon fluxes in stream networks remain unclear. Using continuous measurements of ecosystem metabolism, ...
