Mixing processes and their ecological implications: From vertical to lateral variability in stratified lakes
Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner
The physical environment of natural waters influences biogeochemical processes to generate specific ecological niches, promoting biophysical interactions. Bacteria and phytoplankton communities can form spatial structures, such as layers and patches. The p ...
EPFL2020Diel quenching of Southern Ocean phytoplankton fluorescence is related to iron limitation
Evaluation of photosynthetic competency in time and space is critical for better estimates and models of oceanic primary productivity. This is especially true for areas where the lack of iron (Fe) limits phytoplankton productivity, such as the Southern Oce ...
2020Thin layers of phytoplankton and harmful algae events in a coastal upwelling system
We combined time-series from a monitoring program and specific field observations in order to: 1) describe the characteristics of thin layers of phytoplankton (TLP) in the Galician Rías Baixas (NW Iberian Peninsula), 2) investigate the relationship between ...
2020Changing nutrient cycling in Lake Baikal, the world's oldest lake
Lake Baikal, lying in a rift zone in southeastern Siberia, is the world's oldest, deepest, and most voluminous lake that began to form over 30 million years ago. Cited as the "most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem" and designated a World Herit ...
NATL ACAD SCIENCES2020Patterns and Drivers of Extracellular Enzyme Activity in New Zealand Glacier-Fed Streams
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Vincent Henri De Staercke, Matteo Tolosano, Michail Styllas, Martina Andrea Schön
Glacier-fed streams (GFSs) exhibit near-freezing temperatures, variable flows, and often high turbidities. Currently, the rapid shrinkage of mountain glaciers is altering the delivery of meltwater, solutes, and particulate matter to GFSs, with unknown cons ...
2020The role of mixing in controlling resource availability and phytoplankton community composition
Bieito Fernandez Castro, Emilio Marañón
We investigate the role of mixing, through its effect on nutrient and light availability, as a driver of phytoplankton community composition in the context of Margalef’s mandala. Data on microstructure turbulence, irradiance, new nitrogen supply and phytop ...
2019Short-Term Thermal Acclimation Modifies the Metabolic Condition of the Coral Holobiont
Anders Meibom, Thomas Krüger, Emma Mary Gibbin, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin
The nutritional symbiosis between coral hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates is fundamental to the functioning of coral reefs. Rising seawater temperatures destabilize this relationship, resulting in drastic declines in world-wide coral cover. Thermal ...
2018Assimilation, translocation, and utilization of carbon between photosynthetic symbiotic dinoflagellates and their planktic foraminifera host
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin
Some species of planktic foraminifera inhabiting oligotrophic surface water environments are in an obligate symbiotic relationship with dinoflagellate microalgae, which can assimilate carbon (C) through photosynthesis. However, the mechanism and dynamics o ...
