Major restructuring of marine plankton assemblages under global warming
Nature Communications, 2021 Warming will affect marine plankton biomass, but also its diversity and community composition in poorly understood ways. Here, the authors model the spatial distribution of 860 marine plankton species from 10 functional groups and identify the future ...

Technical Note: Disturbance of soil structure can lead to release of entrapped methane in glacier forefield soils [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Investigations of sources and sinks of atmospheric CH4 are needed to understand the global CH4 cycle and climate-change mitigation options. Glaciated environments might play a critical role due to potential feedbacks with global glacial meltdown.

Seasonal dynamics of carbon and nutrients from two contrasting tropical floodplain systems in the Zambezi River basin [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Floodplains are important biogeochemical reactors during fluvial transport of carbon and nutrient species towards the oceans. In the tropics and subtropics, pronounced rainfall seasonality results in highly dynamic floodplain biogeochemistry. The massive

Air Pollution Hotspot Detection and Source Feature Analysis using Cross-domain Urban Data [PDF]
ACM SIGSPATIAL 2021, 2022 Air pollution is a major global environmental health threat, in particular for people who live or work near pollution sources. Areas adjacent to pollution sources often have high ambient pollution concentrations, and those areas are commonly referred to as air pollution hotspots.

Long-term trends in ocean plankton production and particle export between 1960–2006 [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 We analyse long-term trends in marine primary and particle export production and their link to marine phytoplankton community composition for the period 1960–2006 using a hindcast simulation of the Biogeochemical Elemental Cycling Model coupled to the ...

Factors controlling coccolithophore biogeography in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 The biogeography of Southern Ocean phytoplankton controls the local biogeochemistry and the export of macronutrients to lower latitudes and depth. Of particular relevance is the competitive interaction between coccolithophores and diatoms, with the ...

Spatiotemporal variability and drivers of pCO2 and air–sea CO2 fluxes in the California Current System: an eddy-resolving modeling study [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 We quantify the CO2 source/sink nature of the California Current System (CalCS) and determine the drivers and processes behind the mean and spatiotemporal variability of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the surface ocean.

Light pollution and the concentration of anthropogenic photons in the terrestrial atmosphere [PDF]
Atmospheric Pollution Research, 2022, 13(9):101541, 2022 Light pollution can be rigorously described in terms of the volume concentration of anthropogenic photons (light quanta) in the terrestrial atmosphere. This formulation, consistent with the basic physics of the emission, scattering and absorption of light, allows one to express light pollution levels in terms of particle volume concentrations, in a ...
