Impacts of Saharan dust on downward irradiance and photosynthetically available radiation in the water column

open access: yesAdvances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2012
A semi-empirical approach was used to quantify the modification of the underwater light field in amplitude (magnitude effect) and spectral distribution (spectral effect) by different atmospheric conditions altering the incident light.

Fungal parasites infecting N2-fixing cyanobacteria reshape carbon and N2 fixation and trophic transfer

open access: yesNature Communications
Fungal parasites are associated with bloom-forming algae, yet their impact on N2 fixation and the fate of newly fixed nitrogen during cyanobacterial blooms is poorly understood.

Status and future of seed conservation of threatened plants in the post‐2020 era

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ambitious targets have been set to backup seeds of threatened plants by the global strategy for plant conservation (GSPC), but it is unclear in how far these targets have been met and how seed collection should be organized to meet future challenges. Here, we provide an overview of the status of 44 countries in achieving seed conservation targets.

Transcriptomic resources and functional validation of RNAi in the cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus revealed RNA interference (RNAi) targets; double‐stranded RNA microinjection reduced transcript levels and increased mortality, with αCOP and Rop showing strongest lethal effects, indicating promising RNAi‐based pest control candidates.

Environmental Impacts of the Bioeconomy: A Systematic Review of Variables, Methods, Sectors and Policy Relevance

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy has become a component of sustainability strategies addressing climate change, resource scarcity and economic transformation. Despite a growing body of literature, evidence on the environmental impacts of the bioeconomy remains fragmented, heterogeneous and distributed across sectors and regions. This paper provides a systematic

Dense bottom gravity currents and their impact on pelagic methanotrophy at oxic/anoxic transition zones

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
We show that inflows of oxygenated waters into sulfidic layers have a strong impact on biogeochemical transformation at oxic/anoxic transition zones. Taking the pelagic methane dynamics in the Gotland Basin as an example, we performed our studies when ...
