Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Finding Plankton: A Marine Science Scavenger Hunt for Local Communities

Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract At a time of increasing political polarization and rapidly accelerating climate change, it is important to build public knowledge and empathy toward nature to foster behavioral changes; however, addressing a knowledge deficit can be insufficient to affect these changes.

Comparing non‐staining methods with Mutvei's solution to visualize growth increments in short‐lived intertidal marine gastropod shells

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...

Seabed classification in the Gulf of Alaska from acoustic surveys using deep learning

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐resolution mapping of seafloor habitats has wide applications for fisheries, conservation efforts, offshore infrastructure planning, mineral extraction, and scientific modeling. This study leverages existing widespread single‐beam acoustic data and machine learning to create habitat maps for the Gulf of Alaska at a spatial resolution of ...

Demonstration, validation, and application of hyperspectral microscopy for the collection of cyanobacterial spectral signatures

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...

A lightweight clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video system for monitoring fish in turbid coastal wetlands

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video systems (CLOC‐BRUV) are an effective option for assessing fish assemblages in turbid water, but current designs are limited by their large size and high operational costs. We developed a lightweight CLOC‐BRUV unit and evaluated its performance through proof‐of‐concept trials and field

Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...

Red, green, blue color indices as proxy for Symbiodiniaceae cell density and chlorophyll content during coral bleaching

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the symbiosis between the coral host and endosymbiotic microalgae, is the main cause of widespread coral reef degradation. Current visual assessment methods for coral health, including color reference cards, are constrained by subjective human color perception and limited resolution.

Applicability of the steady‐state oxygen stable isotope method for estimating metabolism in low‐productivity Arctic lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolism is a key property of lake ecosystem functioning, but logistical challenges make it difficult to estimate across remote regions. The steady‐state dissolved oxygen (DO) stable isotope method (18O method) estimates metabolism from discrete water samples and thus enables large‐scale surveys.
