Abstract Understanding how aquatic species respond to extremes of DO and temperature is crucial for determining they will be affected by climate change, which predicted increasingly expose them levels beyond their optima. In this study we used novel animal-borne DO, depth sensors determine the effect on vertical habitat use Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in aquaculture cages. Salmon showed a preference temperatures around 16.5 17.5 °C, however, selection preferred was trumped active avoidance...
Abstract The effect of storing soils at −20° on their subsequent ability to mineralise nitrogen incubation differs according the soil, because significantly more mineral‐N (ammonium‐and nitrate‐N) and nitrate‐N was produced by three four tested. These increases, apparently induced freezing thawing, may have been partly related moisture carbon contents soils. Samples stored for different periods up 6–9 months differed little in rates mineralisation. Experiments with added ammonium‐N...
Abstract Aim Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the patch‐scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally according to environmental stressors mitigates, species richness identity potential colonists. Using manipulative experiment, we assessed spatial variation in patch‐scale effects on intertidal biodiversity. Location 27 sites within 14 estuaries/bays distributed globally. Time period 2015–2017. Major taxa...
Habitat complexity is widely considered an important determinant of biodiversity, and enhancing can play a key role in restoring degraded habitats. However, the effects habitat on ecosystem functioning - as opposed to biodiversity community structure are relatively poorly understood for artificial habitats, which dominate many coastlines. With Greening Grey Infrastructure (GGI) approaches, or eco-engineering, increasingly being applied around globe, it understand that modifying has both...
Abstract. Measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (DON), and phosphorus (DOP) concentrations are used to characterize the matter (DOM) pool important components biogeochemical cycling in coastal ocean. Here, we present first edition a global database (CoastDOM v1; available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.964012, Lønborg et al., 2023) compiling previously published unpublished measurements DOC, DON, DOP waters. These data complemented by hydrographic such as temperature...
