Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

Contribution of ultrafine particles to alkalinity in a limestone‐treated waterbody
Abstract While it is well recognized that suspended particles can bias titration‐based total alkalinity (TA), whether addition of minerals for alkalinity enhancement introduces systematic TA artifacts remains poorly quantified. To address this gap, we quantified the contribution of ultrafine particles (< 0.2 μm) to TA titration introduced by limestone (

Method‐dependent differences in zooplankton abundance and size metrics: Microscopy vs. ZooScan
Abstract Image‐based approaches such as ZooScan are increasingly used for high‐throughput zooplankton monitoring. However, quantitative evaluations of methodological differences relative to conventional microscopy remain limited. In this study, zooplankton abundance and size‐based metrics obtained from microscopy and ZooScan image analysis were ...

Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.
