Algal Blooms in Lakes Increase After Wildfire Smoke Events in the Contiguous United States

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Temporary pulses of surface chlorophyll‐a are identified following wildfire smoke events in lakes and reservoirs across the United States. ABSTRACT Area burned by wildfire has increased in the contiguous United States and in many places globally in recent years, impacting communities and ecosystems nearby and even far downwind of fires. We examined the

Surface ozone depletion episodes in the Arctic and Antarctic from historical ozonesonde records [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2002
Episodes of ozone depletion in the lowermost Arctic atmosphere (0--2 km) at polar sunrise have been intensively studied at Alert, Canada, and are thought to result from catalytic reactions involving bromine.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

Model-based assessment of estuary ecosystem health using the latent health factor index, with application to the richibucto estuary. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The ability to quantitatively assess ecological health is of great interest to those tasked with monitoring and conserving ecosystems. For decades, biomonitoring research and policies have relied on multimetric health indices of various forms.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Biogeography of algae and invertebrates from wave-exposed rocky intertidal habitats along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (Canada): Latitudinal and interannual patterns and possible underlying drivers

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Biogeographic studies aim to understand species distributions and are becoming increasingly relevant to establish baselines to monitor ecological change.
