Excess labile carbon promotes diazotroph abundance in heat-stressed octocorals
Nitrogen limitation is the foundation of stable coral-algal symbioses. Diazotrophs, prokaryotes capable of fixing N-2 into ammonia, support the productivity of corals in oligotrophic waters, but could contribute to the destabilization of holobiont function ...
ROYAL SOC2023An evaluation of new particle formation events in Helsinki during a Baltic Sea cyanobacterial summer bloom
Several studies have investigated new particle formation (NPF) events from various sites ranging from pristine locations, including forest sites, to urban areas. However, there is still a dearth of studies investigating NPF processes and subsequent aerosol ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022The microbiome of cryospheric ecosystems
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis
The cryosphere includes those parts of Earth where water or soil is frozen, such as snow, ice, glaciers and permafrost soils. Here, the authors present a global inventory of cryospheric microbial communities and their genetic repertoires. The melting of th ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Convective regimes induced by surface cooling and topography in stratified waterbodies
Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Tomy Doda, Cintia Luz Ramon Casanas
Gravitational convection plays a significant role in the ventilation, heat and mass distribution of aquatic systems. This study investigates thermally driven convection resulting from heat loss at the air-water interface during cooling periods in freshwate ...
Madrid2022Do Antidune Trains Undergo Morphological Changes When These Bedforms Migrate Upstream?
Upstream migrating antidunes develop in streams under supercritical flow conditions. These bedforms are often organised in trains (i.e. sequences of well-developed antidunes). In shallow flows over coarse sediments, the dynamics of a single antidune can be ...
IAHR International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research2022Decadal shoreline erosion and recovery of beaches in modified and natural estuaries
Sandy beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) are common landforms on the coasts of many major cities. They exist under a wide range of settings and their morphology is controlled by their distance from the estuary/bay entrance, exposure to different types of ...
ELSEVIER2021Integrating Inland and Coastal Water Quality Data for Actionable Knowledge
Damien Bouffard, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Theo Baracchini
Water quality measures for inland and coastal waters are available as discrete samples from professional and volunteer water quality monitoring programs and higher-frequency, near-continuous data from automated in situ sensors. Water quality parameters als ...
MDPI2021Persistence of bioconvection-induced mixed layers in a stratified lake
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner
In situ observations of biophysical interactions in natural waters typically focus on physical mechanisms influencing biological activity. Yet, biological activity can also drive physical processes in aquatic environments. A community of photoautotrophic, ...
2021Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone
Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis
Viruses interfere with their host's metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients. Here, we focus on coastal marine ecosystems and we sequence the viral metag ...
