Microbial colonization and function of biofilms developing on plastics and bioplastics in a pristine mountain stream ecosystem

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Streams naturally receive allochthonous particulate organic materials, but human activity may contribute additional plastic litter inputs, which can affect ecosystem functioning. Our objective was to assess the effect of plastic and bioplastic inputs on microbial biomass and function in a pristine mountain stream.

Inundation of different river bank heights influences organic matter concentrations and zooplankton abundance

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulation and water extraction change flow regimes in lowland rivers, affecting ecosystem functions and wetting patterns of riverbanks. River connectivity to lateral environments is crucial for organic matter cycling and the life cycles of diapausing microinvertebrates. While extreme hydraulic periods (floods and cease‐flow) are well‐studied,

The essential role of large research vessels in marine ecosystem observations and ocean sustainability

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Our understanding of marine ecosystems and ability to manage them sustainably has come from multidisciplinary observations made repeatedly over long periods of time. These long‐term ecosystem observations depend on the capabilities of large research vessels, which play an essential role in the collection of global ocean observations.
