    Description: Peatlands store and emit large amounts of greenhouse gases. With the climate changing due to global warming, measuring these emissions helps to get a better understanding of the role of peatlands in the global carbon cycle. Measurements at a bog site of the Siikaneva peatland show that the emissions vary along the different microtopographies shaped by their vegetation and ground water level. To upscale these measurements, a supervised classification of the study area was implemented in this study by testing a method that uses high-resolution multispectral aerial imagery, captured by a UAV (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle), and a Random Forest classifier. A cohesive orthomosaic of the study area was produced, training data were generated to adjust the Random Forest model, and the study area was classified. The results show that the applied methods were successful in generating a multispectral orthomosaic as well as a classified raster of the study area. A mean classification accuracy of 75.7 % was achieved, which can be considered as a good result. Misclassification rates of neighboring microtopographies with similar vegetation could be mitigated by utilizing a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor in further studies.

    Description: Comprehensive metadata are key to making data FAIR. It is therefore essential to collect metadata in an organized and standardized way. For standardized data acquisition, ie. on research vessels, tools are already available and constantly improved. In land-based permafrost expeditions, however, the data and metadata are as diverse as the science questions behind them. We present an overview of this diversity in (meta)data and (meta)data collection and propose strategies to writing good and comprehensive metadata. We encourage to think about metadata right from the start and work on them steadily during the whole process from field work preparation to data collection and from data analysis to final publication. Easy to adapt templates and only choosing the tools that fit the specific data set increases the participation of the whole team.

    Description: The cladoceran assemblages of the lacustrine deposits of the Krest-Yuryakh sequence (Marine Isotope Stage 5e, MIS5e; Last Interglacial, LIG) exposed at the southern coast of Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky Island and the Oyogos Yar mainland coast along the Dmitry Laptev Strait (Yakutia, Siberia, Russia) were investigated. Field studies on both sides of the Laptev Strait were conducted in 2002, 2007, and 2014. The vegetation of the study area is currently represented by Arctic tundra. The mean air temperature of the warmest month of the year (MTWA) is 3.5 °C for the studied sites on Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky Island and 6.9 °C for Oyogos Yar (https://www.worldclim.org; Fick and Hijmans, 2017). Age information of the Krest-Yuryakh lacustrine deposits is based on infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL) (Schirrmeister et al., submitted). Cladocera were studied in profile L7-11 on Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky Island and in profiles Oya-3-11, Oy7-01, Oy7-08, Oya 5-1 on Oyogos Yar.? The studied fossil cladocera remains of Krest-Yuryakh deposits are exceptionally well preserved. The overall cladocera record comprises 13 taxa. The most common species are Chydorus cf. sphaericus, Bosmina sp. and Daphnia pulex gr. The cladoceran assemblages are dominated by littoral shallow-water taxa, such as Chydorus cf. sphaericus, Alona guttata / Coronatella rectangula. However, profile L7-11 on Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky had very low concentrations of specimens of which Chydorus cf. sphaericus is the most common species. The cladoceran records on Oyogos Yar are more diverse and had much higher concentrations than those on Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky. Most of the cladoceran remains on Oyogos Yar belong to littoral phytophilous species, associated with macrophytes. In the cladoceran communities of Oyogos Yar, along with cold-water taxa, also more thermophilic taxa were found. In particular, the findings of remains of the species L. leidigi indicate much warmer conditions in the past than today. According to Flößner (2000), this species is absent nowadays in the arctic-subarctic zones, but present in the boreal zone. Thus, the modern distribution of L. leidigi is located considerably further south today. The northernmost known discovery of this species in Yakutia (northern Russia) is located in the basin of the Omoloy River (MTWA of +11.5 °C, Frolova & Nigmatullin, unpublished data).We conclude that the climatic conditions were more favorable for cladocerans on Oyogos Yar than on Bol’shoy Lyakhovsky in the Last Interglacial (LIG) sub-stage. The cladoceran assemblages of Oyogos Yar indicate lacustrine habitats with a well-developed vegetated littoral zone as well pelagic open-water zones in the paleo-lakes. Discoveries of cladoceran taxa significantly north of their modern ranges allow the reconstruction of warmer climatic conditions during LIG. Presumably, on Oyogos Yar, the mean temperature of the warmest month (MTWA) was at least ~4.5°C higher than today, which is supported by independent proxy-based - temperature reconstructions such as plant macro-fossils, pollen, and chironomids (Kienast et al., 2011) as well as by climate modeling simulations (Schirrmeister et al., submitted).

    Description: Using the climate model CLIMBER-X, we present an efficient method for assimilating the temporal evolution of surface temperatures for the last deglaciation covering the period 22000 to 6500 years before the present. The data assimilation methodology combines the data and the underlying dynamical principles governing the climate system to provide a state estimate of the system, which is better than that which could be obtained using just the data or the model alone. In applying an ensemble Kalman filter approach, we make use of the advances in the parallel data assimilation framework (PDAF), which provides parallel data assimilation functionality with a relatively small increase in computation time. We find that the data assimilation solution depends strongly on the background evolution of the decaying ice sheets rather than the assimilated temperatures. Two different ice sheet reconstructions result in a different deglacial meltwater history, affecting the large-scale ocean circulation and, consequently, the surface temperature. We find that the influence of data assimilation is more pronounced on regional scales than on the global mean. In particular, data assimilation has a stronger effect during millennial warming and cooling phases, such as the Bølling-Allerød and Younger Dryas, especially at high latitudes with heterogeneous temperature patterns. Our approach is a step toward a comprehensive paleo-reanalysis on multi-millennial time scales, including incorporating available paleoclimate data and accounting for their uncertainties in representing regional climates.

    Description: The freshwater ichthyofauna is largely threatened by the anthropogenic impacts in these ecosystems. The climatic changes caused by human actions and dams’ constructions concerningly affects the freshwater fishes, including its biotic interactions network. Thus, this work aimed at evaluating the Upper Paraná River floodplain’s (UPRF) ichthyofauna under the impacts caused by climate changes, years of extreme drought an extreme flood, and under the impacts caused by the construction of an upstream dam, the Sérgio Motta Hydroelectric Power Plant, Brazil. The sampled years were classified in extreme drought, neutral and extreme flood, according to the predominant characteristics of its hydrological regime, and in pré-damming years, before the upstream hydroelectric power plant construction and reservoir’s flooding, and post-damming years. The abiotic and hydrometric variables were concurrently sampled with the abundance of fish species, allowing to exclude the environmental variables’ effects over the species’ cooccurrence, using multivariate generalized linear models with latent variables. The force of the interspecific biotic interactions was obtained through cooccurrence values for each pair of species, visualized through negative, neutral, and positive values. Regarding the results involving the hydrological regime influence, it was observed differences between drought, neutral and flood years, with stronger cooccurrence values between the UPRF’s ichthyofauna in drought years (for positive and negative values). Regarding the results involving the construction of the UPRF’s upstream dam, it was observed differences comparing the pré-damming and post-damming years cooccurrence patters, with predominantly positive values in post-damming years, and predominantly neutral cooccurrences in pré-damming years. These work results indicate the increment of the cooccurrence values between a floodplain’s fish species due to extreme droughts and upstream dams’ constructions, once the cooccurrence values were more intense under these conditions. Stands out the importance of biotic interactions for the elaboration of management plans and freshwater species conservation in response to anthropogenic actions.
    Description: A ictiofauna de ambientes de água doce se encontra amplamente ameaçada por ações antrópicas. As mudanças climáticas e a construção de barragens afetam os peixes de água doce e suas redes de interações bióticas. Neste contexto, este estudo avaliou a ictiofauna da planície de inundação do alto rio Paraná (PIARP) sob os impactos de mudanças climáticas, épocas de secas e cheias extremas, e sob os impactos causados pela construção de uma barragem a montante, a Usina Hidrelétrica Sérgio Motta, Brasil. Os anos amostrados foram classificados em anos de seca extrema, neutros e de cheia extrema, de acordo com as condições predominantes de seu regime hidrológico, e em anos de pré-barramento, antes da construção e inundação do reservatório da usina hidrelétrica a montante, e pós-barramento. As variáveis abióticas e variáveis hidrométricas foram amostradas concomitantemente com a abundância das espécies de peixe, permitindo excluir o efeito das variáveis ambientais sobre a ocorrência das espécies, com o uso de modelos lineares generalizados multivariados de variáveis latentes. Obteve-se a força das interações bióticas interespecíficas pelos valores de coocorrência, positivos ou negativos, entre cada par de espécies. Com relação aos resultados envolvendo a influência dos regimes hidrológicos, foram encontradas diferenças nos valores médios de coocorrência entre anos de seca extrema, anos neutros e anos de cheia extrema, indicando que os valores de coocorrência são mais fortes entre a ictiofauna da PIARP (tanto interações positivas quanto negativas) em anos de seca. Para os efeitos da construção da barragem a montante da PIARP, observou-se diferenças entre os padrões de coocorrência de espécies antes e após a sua construção, indicando valores de coocorrência predominantemente positivos no período pós-barramento, e coocorrências predominantemente neutras no período pré-barramento. Os resultados indicam incremento nos padrões de coocorrência entre as espécies de peixes da planície de inundação frente secas extremas e construção de barragens a montante, uma vez que os valores de coocorrência foram mais intensos sob essas condições. Destaca-se a importância das interações bióticas em resposta às ações antrópicas para a elaboração de planos de manejo e para a conservação das espécies de peixes de água doce.

    Description: Tropical coastal benthic communities will change in species composition and relative dominance due to global (e.g., increasing water temperature) and local (e.g., increasing terrestrial influence due to land-based activity) stressors. This study aimed to gain insight into possible trajectories of coastal benthic assemblages in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, by studying coral reefs at varying distances from human activities and marine lakes with high turbidity in three temperature categories (〈31 °C, 31–32 °C, and 〉32 °C). The benthic community diversity and relative coverage of major benthic groups were quantified via replicate photo transects. The composition of benthic assemblages varied significantly among the reef and marine lake habitats. The marine lakes 〈31 °C contained hard coral, crustose coralline algae (CCA), and turf algae with coverages similar to those found in the coral reefs (17.4–18.8% hard coral, 3.5–26.3% CCA, and 15–15.5% turf algae, respectively), while the higher temperature marine lakes (31–32 °C and 〉32 °C) did not harbor hard coral or CCA. Benthic composition in the reefs was significantly influenced by geographic distance among sites but not by human activity or depth. Benthic composition in the marine lakes appeared to be structured by temperature, salinity, and degree of connection to the adjacent sea. Our results suggest that beyond a certain temperature (〉31 °C), benthic communities shift away from coral dominance, but new outcomes of assemblages can be highly distinct, with a possible varied dominance of macroalgae, benthic cyanobacterial mats, or filter feeders such as bivalves and tubeworms. This study illustrates the possible use of marine lake model systems to gain insight into shifts in the benthic community structure of tropical coastal ecosystems if hard corals are no longer dominant.

    Description: Dynamics of microbiomes through time are fundamental regarding survival and resilience of their hosts when facing environmental alterations. As for marine species with commercial applications, such as marine sponges, assessing the temporal change of prokaryotic communities allows us to better consider the adaptation of sponges to aquaculture designs. The present study aims to investigate the factors shaping the microbiome of the sponge Dactylospongia metachromia, in a context of aquaculture development in French Polynesia, Rangiroa, Tuamotu archipelago. A temporal approach targeting explants collected during farming trials revealed a relative high stability of the prokaryotic diversity, meanwhile a complementary biogeographical study confrmed a spatial specifcity amongst samples at diferent longitudinal scales. Results from this additional spatial analysis confrmed that diferences in prokaryotic communities might frst be explained by environmental changes (mainly temperature and salinity), while no signifcant efect of the host phylogeny was observed. The core community of D. metachromia is thus characterized by a high spatiotemporal constancy, which is a good prospect for the sustainable exploitation of this species towards drug development. Indeed, a microbiome stability across locations and throughout the farming process, as evidenced by our results, should go against a negative infuence of sponge translocation during in situ aquaculture.

    Description: With the aim of dating the early salt production at Puntone di Scarlino (Central Tuscany, Italy) and establishing the environmental history of this coastal site, a sediment core was studied, taken from the lagoon next to the archaeological site. Diachronic radiocarbon dating of terrestrial plant macro remains and Loripes orbiculatus (Poli, 1795) shells, a burrowing lucinid bivalve occurring throughout the sediment cored, revealed a Marine Reservoir Effect (MRE) that varied markedly over time. Between ca. 4000 and 2500 cal BP, the △R values ranged between −50 and + 500 14C years, thus rendering the Loripes shells truly unsuited for independent radiocarbon dating. Extensive geochemical and palaeoecological study of the core and its environment showed that none of the ubiquitous explanations for this highly variable MRE, such as ‘hard water’ or ‘upwelling old seawater’, can be valid. We attribute the phenomenon to the uptake by this lucinid mollusc of ‘old carbon’ from the sediment column into which it had burrowed, released by diagenetic microbial decomposition processes such as methanogenesis. The age of this inorganic carbon varied, being linked to the sedimentation rate: with decreasing sedimentation rate its impact will increase, whereas at high sedimentation rates its impact will likely be minimal. Our results raise serious doubts about the suitability for radiocarbon dating of benthic fauna from shallow coastal environments and point at these diagenetic processes as potentially important sources of ‘old carbon’.

    Description: Specimens of Nectria spp. and Nectriella rufofusca were obtained from the fungarium of Pier Andrea Saccardo, and investigated via a morphological and molecular approach based on MiSeq technology. ITS1 and ITS2 sequences were successfully obtained from 24 specimens identified as ‘Nectria’ sensu Saccardo (including 20 types) and from the type specimen of Nectriella rufofusca. For Nectria ambigua, N. radians and N. tjibodensis only the ITS1 sequence was recovered. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses new nomenclatural combinations for Nectria albofimbriata, N. ambigua, N. ambigua var. pallens, N. granuligera, N. peziza subsp. reyesiana, N. radians, N. squamuligera, N. tjibodensis and new synonymies for N. congesta, N. flageoletiana, N. phyllostachydis, N. sordescens and N. tjibodensis var. crebrior are proposed. Furthermore, the current classification is confirmed for Nectria coronata, N. cyanostoma, N. dolichospora, N. illudens, N. leucotricha, N. mantuana, N. raripila and Nectriella rufofusca. This is the first time that these more than 100-yr-old specimens are subjected to molecular analysis, thereby providing important new DNA sequence data authentic for these names.
