Abstract Due to global rises in temperature, recent studies predict marine species shifting toward higher latitudes. We investigated the impact of interacting abiotic drivers on distribution potential temperate kelp Laminaria hyperborea . The ecosystem engineering is widespread along European coasts but has not yet been observed High Arctic, although it can survive several months low temperatures and darkness. To investigate its ability extend northward future, we conducted a long‐term...
For the present study, we collected Ulvophyceae species Trentepohlia aurea from limestone rock near Berchtesgaden, Germany, and closely related taxa T. umbrina Tilia cordata tree bark jolithus concrete wall both in Rostock, Germany. Freshly sampled material stained with Auramine O, DIOC6, FM 1-43 showed an intact physiological status. Cell walls were depicted calcofluor white Carbotrace. When subjected to three repeated controlled cycles of desiccation over silica gel (~ 10% relative...
Terrestrial diatoms are widespread in a large variety of habitats and regularly recorded biocrusts. Although have long been known to live terrestrial habitats, only few studies focused on their diversity ecophysiology. Here we present study the ecophysiological performance five diatom cultures from biocrusts, which were collected sand dunes German coast Baltic Sea. The sampling sites selected along gradient human impacts dunes. richness species, roughly estimated permanent slides, was around...
The Arctic is seasonally exposed to long periods of low temperatures and complete darkness. Consequently, perennial primary producers have apply strategies maximize energy efficiency. Global warming occurring in the faster than rest globe. highest amplitude temperature rise occurs during Polar Night. To determine stress resistance ecosystem-engineering kelp Laminaria digitata against winter warming, non-meristematic discs adult sporophytes from Porsangerfjorden (Finnmark, Norway) were kept...
