A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

A simplified two‐station approach for modeling metabolism in dam tailwaters subject to diel flow variation

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Tailwaters are ubiquitous and highly managed ecosystems whose food webs often rely disproportionately on autochthonous energy. In situ continuous dissolved oxygen data are increasingly being used to estimate gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration in rivers, but this approach is complicated in tailwaters, where upriver ...

From the sea to DNA barcode: Optimized preservation method for gelatinous zooplankton integrative taxonomy

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Effects of preservatives and poisons on the elemental and isotopic composition of freshwater particulate organic matter

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Sediment traps, often used in tandem with preservatives or poisons, are widely used for the collection of particulate organic matter (POM), providing insight into the source to sink mechanisms that shape major biogeochemical cycles and sedimentary carbon sequestration.
