Persistence 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, ...

LeXPLORE: A floating laboratory on Lake Geneva offering unique lake research opportunities

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Sébastien Lavanchy

Environmental sciences depend heavily on observational data. Successful studies of ecological processes in lakes require in-situ data that cover the relevant temporal scales from milliseconds to entire seasons. Temporal and spatial coverage requirements re ...

Cooling the surface of freshwater bodies, whose temperatures are above the temperature of maximum density, can generate differential cooling between shallow and deep regions. When surface cooling occurs over a long enough period, the thermally induced cros ...

This study presents a novel concept for estimating net ecosystem production (NEP), the export of organic carbon (OC) from the productive surface layer to the deep‐water (hypolimnion) of eleven seasonally stratified lakes, varying in depth and trophic state ...

Increasing carbon-to-phosphorus ratio (C:P) from seston as a prime indicator for the initiation of lake reoligotrophication.

Alfred Johny Wüest

Decline in total phosphorus (TP) during lake reoligotrophication does not apparently immediately influence carbon assimilation or deep-water oxygen levels. Traditional monitoring and interpretation do not typically consider the amount of organic carbon exp ...

PRODUCTION NETTE DE L’ÉCOSYSTÈME DANS LES LACS – DÉTERMINATION GRÂCE AUX DONNÉES DE MONITORING Les algues et les cyanobactéries se développent dans la couche de surface productive des lacs par l’absorption de CO2, de lumière et de nutriments. Malgré sa réu ...

Diese Arbeitsanleitung bietet einen Leitfaden zur Analyse der Sauerstoffzehrung und der Netto-Ökosystemproduktion in Seen. Diese beiden Grössen bilden wichtige Grundlagen zur Bestimmung der See-Gesundheit und ermöglichen, deren zeitliche Entwicklung zu untersuchen. Aufbauend auf den beiden in Aqua & Gas erschienenen Artikeln «Sauerstoffzehrung in Seen» (Kiefer et al., 2020) und «Netto-Ökosystemproduktion in Seen» (Kiefer et al., 2021) werden die angewandten Methoden hier schrittweise im Detail vorgestellt und erklärt.

Planktothrix rubescens is a harmful planktonic cyanobacterium, forming concentrated metalimnetic populations in deep oligo- and mesotrophic lakes, even after successful restoration. In Lake Zurich (Switzerland), P. rubescens emerged as a keystone species w ...

Horizontal transport under wind-induced resonance in stratified waterbodies

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Serban George Constantinescu, Kyoung Sik Chang

Periodic winds acting on a stratified waterbody can amplify normal modes of motion and enhance the basin-scale circulation via resonance. Here, we use idealized largeeddy simulations to investigate the flow features and quantify the horizontal transport in ...
