Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is among the fastest‐warming ocean regions, but the impacts of this warming on phytoplankton are unclear. Here, wintertime field observations were conducted across the EMS. These observations showed that small photosynthetic eukaryotes (<20 μm) dominated phytoplankton communities, collectively accounting for

Exploring the abyss through recent advances in microbial profiling technologies
The deep ocean is home to a diverse array of microbial communities crucial for biogeochemical cycling and functioning of the planet. However, marine diversity remains poorly understood due to extreme environmental conditions such as high pressures, wide ...

Tropical Sources Dominate the Ocean Carbonyl Sulfide Budget
Abstract Carbonyl sulfide (OCS) regulates stratospheric aerosol–climate interactions and helps to track terrestrial photosynthesis. Using OCS to infer drivers of stratospheric aerosol loading or biospheric productivity requires understanding its largest and most uncertain natural source—ocean emissions. Top‐down ocean OCS budget estimates inferred from

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...

New lichen records from the mountain forests of Southern Siberia
Based on the results of field works mainly in 2009–2017, new data on new and noteworthy lichen species from Southern Siberia are presented. The lichen specimens were collected predominantly by the first author in the mountain dark coniferous forests with

Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...
