ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Bacterioplankton community composition in a boreal forest lake [PDF]
The composition of the dominating populations within a bacterioplankton community was investigated in a mesotrophic, boreal forest lake. Composite samples were collected monthly throughout the lake for two years. The community composition was determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified ...

In many natural environments, microorganisms decompose microscale resource patches made of complex organic matter. The growth and collapse of populations on these resource patches unfold within spatial ranges of a few hundred micrometers or less, making such microscale ecosystems hotspots of heterotrophic metabolism. Despite the potential importance of

Episodic blooms of voracious gelatinous zooplankton, such as the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, affect pools of inorganic nutrients and dissolved organic carbon by intensive grazing activities and mucus release.

Abstract Despite the importance of coastal areas for the transfer of selenium (Se) from rivers to the open ocean and its bioavailability to food webs, dissolved Se concentrations and speciation in these ecosystems remain poorly understood. We conducted a 3‐yr study with monthly water column sampling at five stations spanning from the North Sea to the ...

Redox-specialized bacterioplankton metacommunity in a temperate estuary. [PDF]
This study explored the spatiotemporal dynamics of the bacterioplankton community composition in the Gulf of Finland (easternmost sub-basin of the Baltic Sea) based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequences acquired from community samples via ...

Primary productivity coupled to oxic methane production in coastal waters of southern China
Abstract Oxic methane (CH4) production (OMP) occurs in diverse oxygenated surface waters worldwide. However, phytoplankton‐driven OMP in natural marine environments remains poorly documented. During a research cruise in the highly productive southern East China Sea, we measured OMP by incubating phytoplankton‐rich surface waters and found that CH4 ...

Diving deep into the origins of refractory dissolved amino acids in the ocean
Abstract Amino acids are key constituents of marine peptides and proteins and are generally considered biologically labile or semi‐labile, yet their widespread occurrence throughout the ocean suggests bioresistance over extended timescales. To investigate this paradox, we conducted two parallel shipboard incubation experiments to track microbial ...
