The Metabolic Regimes at the Scale of an Entire Stream Network Unveiled Through Sensor Data and Machine Learning
Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pier Luigi Segatto
Streams and rivers form dense networks that drain the terrestrial landscape and are relevant for biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and transport and transformation of carbon. Yet, resolving in both space and time gross primary production (GPP), ...
202121 000 birds in 4.5 h: efficient large‐scale seabird detection with machine learning
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger
We address the task of automatically detecting and counting seabirds in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our study area, the coast of West Africa, harbours significant breeding colonies of terns and gul ...
2021Industry Commons: an ecosystem approach to horizontal enablers for sustainable cross-domain industrial innovation (a positioning paper)
This paper introduces the background, concept and definition of the Industry Commons. It initiates a discussion on the positioning of the Industry Commons Ecosystem (ICE) with respect to current research directions in advanced manufacturing and production ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2021Digital Twin-Enabled Decision Support Services in Industrial Ecosystems
The goal of this paper is to further elaborate a new concept for value creation by decision support services in industrial service ecosystems using digital twins and to apply it to an extended case study. The aim of the original model was to design and int ...
MDPI2021Assessing the responses of Sphagnum micro-eukaryotes to climate changes using high throughput sequencing
Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara
Current projections suggest that climate warming will be accompanied by more frequent and severe drought events. Peatlands store ca. one third of the world's soil organic carbon. Warming and drought may cause peatlands to become carbon sources through stim ...
PEERJ INC2020Global radiation in a rare biosphere soil diatom
Soil micro-organisms drive the global carbon and nutrient cycles that underlie essential ecosystem functions. Yet, we are only beginning to grasp the drivers of terrestrial microbial diversity and biogeography, which presents a substantial barrier to under ...
2020Thinking like a consumer: Linking aquatic basal metabolism and consumer dynamics
Tom Ian Battin, Marta Boix Canadell, Janine Rüegg
The increasing availability of high‐frequency freshwater ecosystem metabolism data provides an opportunity to identify links between metabolic regimes, as gross primary production and ecosystem respiration patterns, and consumer energetics with the potenti ...
2020Alternative Scenarios for the Development of Oil Palm in the Tropics: Carbon and Nutrients Dynamics
Expansion of agriculture in forested areas poses significant threats and pressure to ecosystems and potentially the global climate. More specifically, expansion of oil palm (OP) plantations has been found to exert great impact on key ecosystem functions li ...
EPFL2020Viral Transfer and Inactivation through Zooplankton Trophic Interactions
Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive
Waterborne viruses are responsible for numerous diseases and are abundant in aquatic systems. Understanding the fate of viruses in natural systems has important implications for human health. This research quantifies the uptake of bacteriophage T4 and the ...
2020Heterotrophic Foraminifera Capable of Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin
Nitrogen availability often limits biological productivity in marine systems, where inorganic nitrogen, such as ammonium is assimilated into the food web by bacteria and photoautotrophic eukaryotes. Recently, ammonium assimilation was observed in kleptopla ...
