Future phytoplankton diversity in a changing climate

Nature Communications, 2021
Phytoplankton form the base of the marine ecosystem but current ocean models used for climate change projections are too simple to assess potential changes in plankton community structure.

Calibrating p‐values in ecology: a practical framework for integrating prior plausibility into statistical inference

Oikos, EarlyView.
Misinterpretation of p‐values, coupled with insufficient consideration of the prior plausibility of ecological hypotheses, leads to overconfident and often unreliable inference in ecological research. To address this issue, we present a methodological framework for p‐value calibration that reinterprets conventional p‐values through minimum Bayes ...

Spatial distribution of rare and common phytoplankton taxa is controlled by geospatial and physicochemical variables

Ecosphere
Phytoplankton are commonly used as an ecological tool in assessing water quality and indicating ecosystem health. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of geospatial and physicochemical variables on variation in phytoplankton community ...

Temperature orchestrates phytoplankton community and environment in mountain stream for enhancing resource use efficiency

Frontiers in Marine Science
Warming is a key factor influencing the function of the structure and function of phytoplankton communities. However, the impacts of temperature on phytoplankton resource use efficiency (RUE) in mountain rivers remain poorly understood.

Identification of environmental factors affecting the abundance and distribution of phytoplanktons in Shamil Dam Lake [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2019
Microscopic suspended algae, or phytoplankton, are the prime source of organic matter supporting food webs in freshwater ecosystems. Studying the distribution of their population and understanding the interactions between environmental factors and the ...

Temperature and species richness effects in phytoplankton communities [PDF]

Oecologia, 2012
Phytoplankton play an important role as primary producers and thus can affect higher trophic levels. Phytoplankton growth and diversity may, besides other factors, be controlled by seasonal temperature changes and increasing water temperatures. In this study, we investigated the combined effects of temperature and diversity on phytoplankton growth.

The Employment of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Disinfection Poses a Threat to Aquatic Ecosystems Because of Its Toxicity to Nontarget Organisms

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, particularly in advanced oxidation processes that aid in the degradation of compounds and microbial disinfection. Despite concerns about potential environmental contamination, its impact on freshwater ecosystems remains inadequately studied.

A turbulent diatom vs dinoflagellate phytoplankton biomass model [PDF]

, 2013
Phytoplankton blooms play an important role in global primary productivity and the dynamics of blooms are of interest to modellers. Diatom dominated phytoplankton blooms followed by dinoflagellate blooms are common in the Southern Benguela, and are often

Cyanogenic Compounds, Physicochemical Parameters and Metals in Water From Cassava Processing Areas: A Study in the Brazilian Amazon, Using Multivariate Analysis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the water quality of artesian wells and effluents generated in cassava processing in a rural area of Bragança, Pará, with emphasis on physicochemical parameters, multielement composition, and cyanogenic compounds. The well water presented specific nonconformities, highlighting pH values below the recommended level and high
