We present a new potentiometric sensor principle and a calibration protocol for in situ profiling of dissolved CO2 with high temporal and spatial resolution in fresh water lakes. The sensor system is based on the measurement of EMF between two solid-contac ...
Changes in the polar regions have large influences on the global climate, on ecosystems and on societies worldwide. More than 2000 scientists and decision makers are convening in Davos this week to discuss the latest research from the Arctic, from the Anta ...
Although stream ecosystems are recognized as an important component of the global carbon cycle, the impact of climate-induced hydrological changes on carbon fluxes in stream networks remain unclear. We will discuss the effects of changes in snowmelt hydrol ...
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, ...
The effectiveness of environmental protection measures is based on the early identification and diagnosis of anthropogenic pressures. Similarly, restoration actions require precise monitoring of changes in the ecological quality of ecosystems, in order to ...
Freshwater fungi are a diverse group of organisms and fulfill important functions in the food web dynamics of surface water ecosystems. Ascomycetic and basidiomycetic hyphomycetes play key roles in leaf litter breakdown in rivers and creeks, while parasiti ...
Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a high-mortality pathology affecting freshwater salmonid populations in Europe and North America. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex life-cycle exploiting freshwater bryozoan ...
Petroleum reservoir is an ecosystem having extreme environmental conditions of temperature, pressure and salinity. They possess highly anoxic conditions. Major microbial communities present in this environment include fermentative bacteria, sulphate reduci ...
The movement of water, matter, organisms, and energy can be altered substantially at ecohydrological interfaces, the dynamic transition zones that often develop within ecotones or boundaries between adjacent ecosystems. Interdisciplinary research over the ...
Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have long attracted the interest of empiricists and theoreticians. Empirical evi ...
