Travel Time and Source Variation Explain the Molecular Transformation of Dissolved Organic Matter in an Alpine Stream Network

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Amber Joy Ulseth

Streams and rivers are important components of the carbon cycle as they transport and transform dissolved organic matter (DOM). Using high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, we studied the spatial distribution of DOM at ...

Species-species interactions modulate copper toxicity under different visible light conditions

Valérie Gagnaux

Combination of biotic and abiotic factors influences the effects of naturally occurring or anthropogenic chemicals on photosynthetic microorganisms in the aquatic environment. Nonetheless, the combined effects of physical stressors and species-species inte ...

Chlorinated ethene plume evolution after source thermal remediation: Determination of degradation rates and mechanisms

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray, Jérémy Zimmermann

The extent, mechanism(s), and rate of chlorinated ethene degradation in a large tetrachloroethene (PCE) plume were investigated in an extensive sampling campaign. Multiple lines of evidence for this degradation were explored, including compound-specific is ...

The sun is no fun without rain: Physical environments affect how we feel about yellow across 55 countries

Amer Chamseddine, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Ramiro Tau, Meng Zhang, Nevena Dimitrova, Niloufar Pouyan

Across cultures, people associate colours with emotions. Here, we test the hypothesis that one driver of this cross-modal correspondence is the physical environment we live in. We focus on a prime example - the association of yellow with joy, - which conce ...

A modeling approach integrating microbial activity, mass transfer, and geochemical processes to interpret biological assays: An example for PCE degradation in a multi-phase batch setup

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray

The rate at which organic contaminants can be degraded in aquatic environments is not only dependent upon specific degrading bacteria, but also upon the composition of the microbial community, mass transfer of the contaminant, and abiotic processes that oc ...

Separating sources of density-dependent and density-independent establishment limitation in invading species

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Successful colonization by invasive species depends on both the ability to disperse seeds to a site and an ability to establish once seeds have arrived. While seed and establishment limitation are known to jointly influence colonization, decomposing establ ...

Geomorphic controls on elevational gradients of species richness

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Francesco Carrara, Florian Altermatt

Elevational gradients of biodiversity have been widely investigated, and yet a clear interpretation of the biotic and abiotic factors that determine how species richness varies with elevation is still elusive. In mountainous landscapes, habitats at differe ...

Peatland vascular plant functional types affect methane dynamics by altering microbial community structure

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Peatlands are natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), an important greenhouse gas. It is established that peatland methane dynamics are controlled by both biotic and abiotic conditions, yet the interactive effect of these drivers is less studied and ...

Mechanism of uranium reduction and immobilization in Desulfovibrio vulgaris biofilms

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo

The prevalent formation of noncrystalline U(IV) species in the subsurface and their enhanced susceptibility to reoxidation and remobilization, as compared to crystalline uraninite, raise concerns about the long-term sustainability of the bioremediation of ...

Plant functional diversity drives niche-size-structure of dominant microbial consumers along a poor to extremely rich fen gradient

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Mariusz Lamentowicz

Plant community composition is recognized more and more for playing an important role in ecosystem processes, such as C cycling. In particular, plant functional type (PFT) composition seems to have a key regulatory role, yet the underlying mechanisms in ...
