Rapid and drastic anthropogenic impacts are affecting global biogeochemical processes driving biodiversity loss across Earth's ecosystems. In aquatic ecosystems, species distributions shifting, abundances of many have declined dramatically, threatened with extinction. addition to diversity, the ecosystem functions, services on which humans depend also being heavily impacted. Addressing these challenges not only requires direct action mitigate environmental but innovative approaches identify,...
We used mesocosm experiments to study the bacterioplankton community in a highly dynamic coastal ecosystem during four contrasting periods of seasonal cycle: winter mixing, spring phytoplankton bloom, summer stratification and autumn upwelling. A correlation approach was order measure degree coupling between dynamics major bacterial groups, heterotrophic carbon cycling environmental factors. catalysed reporter deposition-fluorescence situ hybridization follow changes relative abundance most...
Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged useful tools to document the biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio-temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with for genetic marine hard-bottom benthic communities. Here, we present data our first campaign comprising 56 ARMS units deployed in 2018-2019 and retrieved...
Continuing the international efforts of ARMS Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON), we present data from second sampling campaign, coming 56 Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) deployed in 2020 and 2021 along European coasts under Omics (EMO BON). The set includes information on locations conditions, sample archiving, quality reports collected samples. Data metadata are openly accessible can be downloaded associated GitHub repository. Sequence accessed via Nucleotide...
The European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON) is an initiative of the Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) to establish a persistent genomic observatory amongst designated coastal marine sites, sharing same protocols for sampling and data curation. Environmental samples are collected from water column and, at some soft sediments hard substrates (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures - ARMS), together with set mandatory discretionary metadata (including Essential Ocean...

Terrestrial input to marine and freshwater ecosystems colors the water yellow-brown, causing a phenomenon called “brownification”. The effect of brownification on pelagic microbial food web was studied in oligotrophic eastern Mediterranean June 2021 by adding HuminFeed 15-day mesocosm experiment with 2 treatments: Control (C, no addition) (HF, single dose HuminFeed, mg L -1 ); 3 replicates per treatment. caused shading, leading decrease abundance photo-autotrophic organisms (cyanobacteria...
We studied the importance of dissolved primary production in a coastal, productive ecosystem relation to phytoplankton biomass, community structure and productivity. The photosynthetic organic carbon (DOCp) particulate was determined mesocosm experiments during four contrasting oceanographic periods Ría de Vigo (NW Iberian Peninsula). also size-fractionated chlorophyll concentration production, taxonomic composition bacterial production.

A mesocosms approach was used to assess the seasonal variability and effect of oil spills on structure dynamics marine microbial plankton communities in a coastal upwelling system. To this aim, four experiments were conducted during main characteristic periods cycle Ría de Vigo (NW Spain): spring phytoplankton bloom, summer stratification, autumn winter mixing. In each these experiments, enclosed control oiled bags monitored key variables rates measured 9 days. Temporal changes community...

With the aim of creating a real-time monitoring network for both oceanographic and meteorological data, station conceptual design was developed. A common framework software electronics adapted to different environmental conditions using two buoy approaches: one intended oceanic waters, be moored up 30-40 m depth, where waves are critical factor, continental waters (rivers, lakes inner part estuaries), currents factor. When structures such as bridges present in area, can installed on these...
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) allows for active removal of atmospheric CO2, therefore is considered as one the most promising Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies. OAE could be obtained by discharging alkaline material in wake ships, however very little known on potential negative effects marine communities. We report here first study focusing response entire pelagic microbial food web to addition calcium hydroxide real oligotrophic conditions. In a mesocosm experiment performed at...
Current efforts to reduce CO2emissions are being insufficient decrease its atmospheric concentration and avoid exceeding the warming threshold in Paris agreement. Although reducing emissions remains essential, additional tools limit global actively searched. These include methods of CO2 by capturing it from air (the so-called Negative Emissions Technologies, NET). Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a potentially viable NET that consists on addition alkaline substances, including slaked...
Our commitments to limit future global warming below 2°C of the pre-industrial level are clashing with demonstrably insufficient present-day efforts reduce CO2 emissions. The development and implementation Negative Emission Technologies (NETs), enabling a massive fast Removal (CDR), represent most promising strategy support an effective mitigation ongoing climate change within next decade. Marine CDR (m-CDR) encompasses those technologies exploiting ocean storage potential, there is...
The Ría de Vigo is a dynamic and productive upwelling ecosystem. We measured 14 C incorporation (TO CP) gross primary production (GPP), community respiration (DCR), net (NCP) size-fractioned chlorophyll (chl ) fortnightly from May 2012 to 2013 in the euphotic layer of Ría. Our aim was improve depiction plankton metabolism test general hypothesis that structure determines degree heterotrophy planktonic ecosystems. Higher after episodes during spring bloom, when dominated by microphytoplankton...
