Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an ozone‐depleting greenhouse gas that has a global warming potential nearly 300 times greater than carbon dioxide. Although the oceans contribute about 21% of atmospheric global N2O emissions, we know relatively little about N2O dynamics in nearshore systems. Here, we document the fourfold increase in the abundance of a

From Headwaters to the Sea: The Journey of Creating an Immersive Museum Exhibit
Abstract We describe the multi‐year journey of a group of researchers co‐creating a museum exhibit with the Biosphère an environmental museum of the City of Montréal. The collaboration resulted in an immersive experience where visitors can dive into an aquatic continuum and learn about function, ecology, chemistry, and the roles of the various aquatic ...

Production and fate of macroalgal carbon in the ocean: How much do macroalgal organics matter?
Abstract Global carbon sequestration by macroalgae is hypothesized to rival rates in other blue carbon ecosystems. However, quantifying macroalgal carbon sequestration is challenging as it is hypothesized to occur outside macroalgal ecosystems, with 73% of sequestration occurring when dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is exported to deep ocean waters.

Abstract Human activities have significantly increased carbon dioxide emissions, leading to global warming and ocean acidification, which threaten marine ecosystems, including coral reefs with high biodiversity. Coral reef maintenance relies on a balance between calcium carbonate formation and dissolution. Among the processes, sandy sediments, covering

Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

What are landscapes for? Diverging preferences and shared understandings of rural farming landscapes
Abstract Pressures to address the biodiversity loss and climate crises, and growing demands for the provision of a wide range of public goods are changing rural landscapes, challenging existing ecologies, economies and cultures. Conflicts between competing objectives complicate the development of acceptable conservation and land use strategies, often ...

Alignment of discontinuous fibers using the HiPerDiF 3G machine. ABSTRACT Aligned discontinuous fiber reinforced composites (ADFRC) offer promising applications due to their manufacturability and tailorable mechanical properties. In this study, the high performance discontinuous fiber (HiPerDiF) technology is used to produce ADFRC consisting of 3 and 6
