Detritus-hosted methanogenesis sustains the methane paradox in an alpine lake

Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner

Accumulation of methane in oxic waters of lakes and the ocean has been widely reported. Despite the importance for the greenhouse gas budget, mechanistic controls of such "methane paradox" remain elusive. Here, we use a combination of CH4 concentration and ...

Coarse and Fine Particulate Organic Matter Transport by a Fourth-Order Mountain Stream to Lake Bourget (France)

Guillaume Gilbert René Cunillera

Transport of coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) derived from forest litterfall has been hardly studied in rivers, unlike fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) or dissolved organic matter (DOM). Yet, many rivers are dammed or run into lakes, and ther ...

Thermal Stress Interacts With Surgeonfish Feces to Increase Coral Susceptibility to Dysbiosis and Reduce Tissue Regeneration

Leïla Ezzat

Dysbiosis of coral microbiomes results from various biotic and environmental stressors, including interactions with important reef fishes which may act as vectors of opportunistic microbes via deposition of fecal material. Additionally, elevated sea surfac ...

Heterotrophic Foraminifera Capable of Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation

Anders Meibom, Emmanuelle Geslin, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre

Nitrogen availability often limits biological productivity in marine systems, where inorganic nitrogen, such as ammonium is assimilated into the food web by bacteria and photoautotrophic eukaryotes. Recently, ammonium assimilation was observed in kleptopla ...

Catchment land cover influences macroinvertebrate food-web structure and energy flow pathways in mountain streams

Tom Ian Battin

Understanding how different food resources sustain stream food webs is fundamental towards increasing our knowledge on trophic structure and energy flow pathways in fluvial ecosystems. 2. Food webs in small mountain streams are sustained by autochthonou ...

Exploring the Sources of Unexpected High Methane Concentrations and Fluxes From Alpine Headwater Streams

Amber Joy Ulseth, Sabine Flury McGinnis

The dynamics of methane generation and evasion from well-oxygenated, oligotrophic streams have been traditionally neglected. We estimated evasion of methane and assessed its sources and production pathways using a stable isotope approach in 16 oxygen-rich ...

Variation in Detrital Resource Stoichiometry Signals Differential Carbon to Nutrient Limitation for Stream Consumers Across Biomes

Janine Rüegg

Stoichiometric ratios of resources and consumers have been used to predict nutrient limitation across diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In forested headwater streams, coarse and fine benthic organic matter (CBOM, FBOM) are primary basal resources ...

Increasing temperature and decreasing specific leaf area amplify centipede predation impact on Collembola

Mathieu Raymond Santonja

Collembola is an abundant group of soil organisms playing a major role on litter decomposition process and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Habitat structure strongly influences Collembola assemblages as plant litter physical characteristics and quan ...

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 ...

Subordinate plant species impact on soil microbial communities and ecosystem functioning in grasslands: Findings from a removal experiment

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rossi, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Charlotte Vandenberghe, Claire Meugnier

Despite their low relative abundance, subordinate plant species may have larger impacts on ecosystem functioning than expected, but their role in plant communities remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to test how subordinate plant species i ...

Hypolimnetic Oxygen Depletion in Eutrophic Lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Beat Mueller

The oxygen-consuming processes in the hypolimnia of freshwater lakes leading to deep-water anoxia are still not well understood, thereby constraining suitable management concepts. This study presents data obtained from 11 eutrophic lakes and suggests a mod ...

Effect of dung deposition on small-scale patch structure and seasonal vegetation dynamics in mountain pastures

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Charlotte Vandenberghe

Cattle activity greatly influences plant species composition and biomass production of grassland ecosystems. Dung deposition by cattle together with grazing and trampling can be considered as one of the important factors driving vegetation dynamics in past ...

Linking chemical speciation to metal bioavailability : role of dissolved organic matter on cadmium and lead bioavailability by green microalgae

Cristina Lamelas

It is recognized that dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an utmost role in aquatic ecosystems by binding trace metals and influencing their speciation, bioavailability and detrimental effects. DOM is considered to protect the aquatic microorganisms from ...

Phosphate adsorption by mineral weathering particles in oligotrophic waters of high particle content

Alfred Johny Wüest, Beat Mueller

We investigated the interactions of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and dissolved nonreactive phosphorus (DNRP) with suspended and settled aquatic particles. The sorption to minerogenic particles from an alpine catchment collected in rivers, hydropower ...
