Bridging Food Webs, Ecosystem Metabolism, and Biogeochemistry Using Ecological Stoichiometry Theory

Although aquatic ecologists and biogeochemists are well aware of the crucial importance of ecosystem functions, i.e., how biota drive biogeochemical processes and vice-versa, linking these fields in conceptual models is still uncommon. Attempts to explain ...

CLIMATE-INDUCED CHANGES IN SPRING SNOWMELT IMPACT ECOSYSTEM METABOLISM AND CARBON FLUXES IN AN ALPINE STREAM NETWORK

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Amber Joy Ulseth

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 ...

Macroinvertebrate community traits and nitrate removal in stream sediments

Tom Ian Battin

In-stream nitrate removal capacity may be used as a proxy for the ecosystem service of water quality regulation. It is well known that this natural function is driven by abiotic and biotic factors in running water environments. With regard to biotic dri ...

Spatial distribution and biological effects of trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) and organic micropollutants (PCBs, PAHs) in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis along the Algerian west coast

Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

Native mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis are used as bioindicator organisms to assess the concentration levels and toxic effects of persistent chemicals, polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals using biomarker ...

Nitrification increases nitrogen export from a tropical river network

Janine Rüegg

Scaling aquatic ecosystem processes like nutrient removal is critical for assessing the importance of streams and rivers to watershed nutrient export. We used pulse NH4+ enrichment experiments and measured net NH4+ uptake in 7 streams throughout a mountain ...

Reproductive and trans-generational effect of ocean acidification and warming on the coral Stylophora pistillata in the Gulf of Aqaba

Malika Menoud

Global warming is threatening 75 % of the world’s coral reefs. The reproduction of corals is a driver for the development of the whole reef ecosystem. Then, it is essential to better understand the transgenerational mechanisms in the response of parents an ...

Gravel bar inundation frequency: an important parameter for understanding riparian corridor dynamics

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner

Riparian zones are some of the most valuable and at the same time endangered ecosystems in the world. Their progressive degradation caused by anthropogenic pressure calls for the adoption of effective, resilient restoration strategies. However, a full unde ...

Photoacclimatory and photoprotective responses to cold versus heat stress in high latitude reef corals

Thomas Krüger

Corals at the world's southernmost coral reef of Lord Howe Island (LHI) experience large temperature and light fluctuations and need to deal with periods of cold temperature (< 18 °C), but few studies have investigated how corals are able to cope with thes ...

Physical and economic consequences of sea-level rise: A coupled GIS and CGE analysis under uncertainties

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Santosh Ram Joshi

This paper develops a modelling framework that links GEMINI-E3, a multi-regional, multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model with a cost-benefit analysis approach at local level using geographical information system tools to assess the physical an ...

Dormant or not dormant? Benthic foraminiferal metabolism under anoxia

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Hypoxic events particularly affect benthic ecosystems on continental shelves and in coastal areas where renewal of bottom waters slow. Foraminifera living in such environments are among the most tolerant to hypoxia in the meiofauna. Some foraminifera speci ...
