Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an ozone‐depleting greenhouse gas that has a global warming potential nearly 300 times greater than carbon dioxide. Although the oceans contribute about 21% of atmospheric global N2O emissions, we know relatively little about N2O dynamics in nearshore systems. Here, we document the fourfold increase in the abundance of a

Abstract Biological invasion and climate change threaten freshwater ecosystems, potentially amplifying their impacts through interaction. However, empirical evidence on how future climate scenarios influence the invasion process and their interactive effects on native species remains limited.

Long‐term changes to plankton communities in artificially heated lakes
Abstract Increased surface‐water temperatures and nutrient enrichment are predicted to alter planktonic communities, impacting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. While short‐term mesocosm studies have reported temperature‐ and nutrient‐driven effects, long‐term observations from natural systems remain limited.

Effects of oligotrophication on fish growth: Insights from a mesocosm experiment
Abstract Human activities can frequently affect aquatic ecosystems in irreversible ways, with flow regulation and water quality being major concerns. Dams can promote the retention of sediments and nutrients, increase water transparency, and reduce primary productivity, all of which characterize the oligotrophication process.

Boat wakes enhance oyster reef mortality in a short‐fetch estuary
Abstract Oyster reefs are vital to estuarine ecosystems, providing key services such as water filtration and shoreline stabilization. However, they are increasingly threatened by human activities, particularly boat wakes. This study investigates the relative impacts of boat wakes and wind waves on reef mortality in the Guana‐Tolomato‐Matanzas estuary ...
