Multiple climatic drivers increase pace and consequences of ecosystem change in the Arctic Coastal Ocean

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
The impacts of climate change on Arctic marine systems are noticeable within the scientific “lifetime” of most researchers and the iconic image of a polar bear struggling to stay on top of a melting ice floe captures many of the dominant themes of Arctic

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass.

Knowing your limits: Patterns and drivers of nutrient limitation and nutrient–chlorophyll relationships in US lakes

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Although understanding nutrient limitation of primary productivity in lakes is among the oldest research priorities in limnology, there have been few broad‐scale studies of the characteristics of phosphorus (P)‐, nitrogen (N)‐, and co‐limited lakes and ...

Low‐molecular‐weight reduced sulfur substances: A major component of nonvolatile dissolved organic sulfur in the Pacific Ocean

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
The low‐molecular‐weight (LMW) reduced sulfur substances (RSS) composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) was examined along the GEOTRACES US‐GP15 section in the Pacific Ocean.

Grazer‐induced changes on mechanical properties of diatoms frustule: A new proof for a watery arms race

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
We investigated changes in physiology and mechanical properties of diatoms exposed to chemical cues released by copepods Pseudodiaptomus annandalei. Our results showed that the diatoms Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Cylindrotheca closterium, Thalassiosira ...

Dense vegetation hinders sediment transport toward saltmarsh interiors

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
To save saltmarshes and their valuable ecosystem services from sea level rise, it is crucial to understand their natural ability to gain elevation by sediment accretion. In that context, a widely accepted paradigm is that dense vegetation favors sediment

Arctic fishes reveal patterns in radiocarbon age across habitats and with recent climate change

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Climate change alters the sources and age of carbon in Arctic food webs by fostering the release of older carbon from degrading permafrost. Radiocarbon (14C) traces carbon sources and age, but data before rapid warming are rare and limit assessments over

Unexpected mismatches in population structure among marine mussel life‐history stages reveal the true scales of planktonic larval dispersal

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Studies investigating gene flow in sessile or sedentary marine species typically draw conclusions about larval dispersal by investigating genetic structure of adults.

Projecting expected growth period of bivalves in a coastal temperate sea

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
The impact of climate warming on coastal benthic fauna is already observed, but forecasting their long‐term fate remains challenging. This study uses δ18Oshell data of specimens of five bivalve species collected at six locations and results from ...

Phytoplankton as indicators of global warming?

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Terrestrial plants are sensitive indicators of global warming because their annual cycles of growth and senescence are changing as warming proceeds.
