In situ degradation of kelp detritus: Implications for coastal carbon cycling
Abstract Marine macroalgae (i.e., seaweeds) are crucial components of coastal carbon cycles and may be important contributors to marine carbon sequestration. Understanding the fate of macroalgal‐derived carbon in marine systems requires an understanding of the degradation dynamics of macroalgae across environmental gradients. Therefore, we conducted an

Different national assessment concepts impede the harmonization of river quality classifications using macrophytes in Europe. This study describes a procedure to identify similarities between the national methods for ecological quality assessment of ...

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 ...

Field settlement trap designs for Cassiopea spp. polyp recruitment: A preliminary study
Abstract High densities of upside‐down jellyfish (Cassiopea spp.) have been documented in anthropogenically disturbed coastal ecosystems including Jobos Bay, Puerto Rico. However, understanding their field ecology remains limited because most studies are laboratory‐based, focusing on life history and symbiotic relationships.

Macrophyte data of contemporary surveys
Macrophyte (submerged and floating plants) occurrences data obtained from a site condition assessment of standing water features in the ULE system undertaken for the Northern Ireland Environmental Agency (NIEA) during the summers of 2006-2007 (Goldsmith

Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

A tipping point for tipping points
Tipping points (TPs) – often understood as abrupt changes to a system – have become a popular framework for ecology and environmental science across spatial and temporal scales. The underlying, quantitative foundation of TP theory is built on mathematical models from catastrophe and predator–prey theories.
