Deciphering the biosynthetic landscape of biofilms in glacier-fed streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Tyler Joe Kohler, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Aileen Ute Geers

Glacier-fed streams are permanently cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and physically unstable environments, yet microbial life thrives in benthic biofilm communities. Within biofilms, microorganisms rely on secondary metabolites for communication and competition. ...

Investigation of microbial community dynamics in soil during variable hydrological forcing

Simiao Wang

Climate change is expected to alter the temporal distribution of precipitation events, leading to prolonged drought periods and an increased frequency of extreme precipitation events. Changes in precipitation pattern will directly affect soil moisture dyna ...

Measurements of aerosol microphysical and chemical properties in the central Arctic atmosphere during MOSAiC

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner

The Arctic environment is transforming rapidly due to climate change. Aerosols’ abundance and physicochemical characteristics play a crucial, yet uncertain, role in these changes due to their influence on the surface energy budget through direct interactio ...

Smart cities and sustainable development goals (SDGs): A systematic literature review of co-benefits and trade-offs

Simon Elias Bibri

Despite the wealth of research on smart cities, there is a lack of studies examining interlinkages between smart cities and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In other words, there is limited research on how implementing smart city solutions can lead to ...

Integrating environmental variability to broaden the research on coral responses to future ocean conditions

Cristina Martin Olmos, Nils Rädecker

Our understanding of the response of reef-building corals to changes in their physical environment is largely based on laboratory experiments, analysis of long-term field data, and model projections. Experimental data provide unique insights into how organ ...

Subordinate plant species moderate drought effects on earthworm communities in grasslands

Alexandre Buttler, Claire Guenat, Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Loss of plant diversity resulting from forecasted drought events is likely to alter soil functioning and affect earthworm communities. Plant-soil interactions are expected to play an important role in mediating climate change effects on soil decomposers. I ...

The vulnerability of Swiss Alpine tourism to climate change. An analysis of its causes, its magnitude, and its spatial heterogeneity

Cecilia Matasci

In this work, we analyze the vulnerability of tourism to climate change in 53 Swiss alpine regions. We analyzed in particular the impacts generated by changes in climate suitability for tourism activities, snowpack reduction, glaciers melting, permafrost m ...
