Varying vulnerabilities: Seagrass species under threat from prolonged ocean warming
Abstract Understanding the response of various seagrass species to prolonged elevated water temperatures is crucial for effective management and seagrass species restoration amid increasing climate change‐induced ocean warming and marine heat waves. This is especially important in intertidal seagrass meadows, where heat can penetrate substrate depths ...

Abstract Blooms of filamentous green algae (FGA) form dense mats at the surface of shallow freshwaters and have multiple negative impacts on aquatic ecosystem functions, services, and aesthetics. Although nutrient enrichment in freshwaters is a primary driver of excessive FGA growth, much less is known about other abiotic factors controlling bloom ...

Climate change impacts to upwelling and shallow reef nutrient sources across an oceanic archipelago
Abstract Upwelling delivers key nutritional and energetic subsidies to coral reef communities that affect the growth, abundance, and ecology of organisms across trophic levels. However, the cross‐scale oceanographic and atmospheric drivers of localized upwelling on many reefs remain unresolved, limiting our ability to predict how climate change might ...

Abstract Both local and global climate phenomena shape the hydrologic regimes of watersheds. For aridland rivers in the southwestern United States, peak flows occur during two distinct periods: spring snowmelt and summer monsoons. Although discharge (Q) is a primary driver of variation in the production and consumption of instream organic matter, or ...

Abstract Tidal reeds provide essential coastal protection by shielding the shore from the effects of waves and currents, reducing soil erosion or even enabling sediment accretion. However, these environments face increasing threats from human activities and climate change.

Abstract Marine heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and intense due to global climate change, potentially impacting plankton communities. In the present study, the effects of a simulated short‐term warming event on the structure and functioning of coastal plankton communities were investigated during a mesocosm experiment conducted with ...

Abstract Many ecosystems receive resource subsidies that affect productivity and food webs. Ecosystem subsidies vary in quantity, quality, and timing, and effects are often mediated by environmental factors, including temperature. Deposition of periodical cicada carcasses into ponds represents a large, high‐quality, infrequent subsidy.

Seasonal variation in bay‐marsh sediment exchange through a back‐barrier salt marsh tidal creek
Abstract Salt marsh resilience to sea‐level rise largely depends on the balance of sediment exchanges with surrounding bays. In this study, we investigate mechanisms that determine residual sediment fluxes using continuous measurements of bay‐marsh sediment exchange conducted in a tidal creek spanning 13 months (753 tidal cycles) in an intertidal marsh

Abstract Aerosol dust deposited on the nutrient‐deprived surface ocean can boost phytoplankton growth and oceanic carbon uptake. Low mineral solubility restricts the biological utilization of dust‐nutrients, thereby benefiting phytoplankton that actively dissolve dust.
