    Description: Many shallow coastal systems experience diel fluctuations in dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH that can intensify throughout the summer season and expose estuarine organisms to repeated episodes of coastal hypoxia and acidification. In temperate regions, larval release of the economically important blue crab Callinectes sapidus occurs in the summer, and while the earliest stage (zoea I) larvae are susceptible to persistent low DO and low pH conditions, their sensitivity to diel fluctuations is unknown. Here, a series of short-term (〈=96 h) experiments were conducted to investigate the survival of C. sapidus zoea I larvae exposed to a range of diel cycling hypoxic and acidified conditions and durations. Two experiments comparing a diel cycling DO/pH treatment (fluctuating from 30% air saturation to 103% averaging 66%/and from pH 7.26 to 7.80 averaging 7.53) to a static low DO/pH treatment (43%/7.35), a static moderate DO/pH treatment (68%/7.59), and a static control treatment (106%/7.94) indicated that survival in the diel cycling treatment was significantly lower than the moderate treatment (p 〈 0.05) by 75 and 48% over 96 and 48 h, respectively, despite comparable mean experimental DO/pH values. Three other experiments aimed at identifying the effective minimum duration of low DO/low pH to significantly depress larval survival under diel cycling conditions revealed that 8 h of low DO/low pH (28%/7.43) over a 24-h diel cycle consistently decreased survival (p 〈 0.05) relative to control conditions by at least 55% regardless of experimental duration (72-, 48-, and 24-h experiments). An increase in DO beyond saturation to supersaturation (160%) and pH beyond normocapnic to highly basified (8.34) conditions during the day phase of the diel cycle did not improve survival of larvae exposed to nocturnal hypoxia and acidification. Collectively, these experiments demonstrate that diel cycling does not provide newly hatched C. sapidus larvae a temporal refuge capable of ameliorating low DO/pH stress, but rather is more lethal than chronic exposure to comparable average DO/pH conditions. Given that larvae exposed to a single nocturnal episode of moderate hypoxia and acidification experience significantly reduced survival, such occurrences may depress larval recruitment.

    Description: Coastal zones can be focal points of acidification where the influx of atmospheric CO2 can be compounded by additional sources of acidity that may collectively impair calcifying organisms. While the photosynthetic action of macrophytes may buffer against coastal ocean acidification, such activity has not been well-studied, particularly among aquacultured seaweeds. Here, we report on field and laboratory experiments performed with North Atlantic populations of juvenile hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica), and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) grown with and without increased CO2 and with and without North Atlantic kelp (Saccharina latissima) over a range of aquaculture densities (0.3 – 2 g/L). In all laboratory experiments, exposure to elevated pCO2 (〉1,800 µatm) resulted in significantly reduced shell- and/or tissue-based growth rates of bivalves relative to control conditions. This impairment was fully mitigated when bivalves were exposed to the same acidification source but also co-cultured with kelp. Saturation states of aragonite were transformed from undersaturated to saturated in the acidification treatments with kelp present, while the acidification treatments remained undersaturated. In a field experiment, oysters grown near aquacultured kelp were exposed to higher pH waters and experienced significantly faster shell and tissue based growth rates compared to individuals grown at sites away from kelp. Collectively, these results suggest that photosynthesis by S. latissima grown at densities associated with aquaculture increased pH and decreased pCO2, fostering a carbonate chemistry regime that maximized the growth of juvenile bivalves. As S. latissima has been shown to benefit from increased CO2, growing bivalves and kelp together under current or future acidification scenarios may be a synergistically beneficial integrated, multi-trophic aquaculture approach.

    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: 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: Trunk disease fungal pathogens reduce olive production globally by causing cankers, dieback, and other decline-related symptoms on olive trees. Very few fungi have been reported in association with olive dieback and decline in South Africa. Many of the fungal species reported from symptomatic olive trees in other countries have broad host ranges and are known to occur on other woody host plants in the Western Cape province, the main olive production region of South Africa. This survey investigated the diversity of fungi and symptoms associated with olive dieback and decline in South Africa. Isolations were made from internal wood symptoms of 145 European and 42 wild olive trees sampled in 10 and 9 districts, respectively. A total of 99 taxa were identified among 440 fungal isolates using combinations of morphological and molecular techniques. A new species of Pseudophaeomoniella, P. globosa, had the highest incidence, being recovered from 42.8 % of European and 54.8 % of wild olive samples. This species was recovered from 9 of the 10 districts where European olive trees were sampled and from all districts where wild olive trees were sampled. Members of the Phaeomoniellales (mainly P. globosa) were the most prevalent fungi in five of the seven symptom types considered, the only exceptions being twig dieback, where members of the Botryosphaeriaceae were more common, and soft/white rot where only Basidiomycota were recovered. Several of the species identified are known as pathogens of olives or other woody crops either in South Africa or elsewhere in the world, including species of Neofusicoccum, Phaeoacremonium, and Pleurostoma richardsiae. However, 81 of the 99 taxa identified have not previously been recorded on olive trees and have unknown interactions with this host. These taxa include one new genus and several putative new species, of which four are formally described as Celerioriella umnquma sp. nov., Pseudophaeomoniella globosa sp. nov., Vredendaliella oleae gen. & sp. nov., and Xenocylindrosporium margaritarum sp. nov.

    Description: Neutral, volatile polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) were determined in high-volume air samples collected onboard the German research vessel Polarstern during cruise ANT-XXIII/1 between Bremerhaven, Germany (53° N) and Capetown, Republic of South Africa (33° S) in fall 2005. An optimized and validated analytical protocol was used for the determination of several fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) as well as N-alkylated fluorooctane sulfonamides and sulfonamidoethanols (FOSAs/FOSEs). Quantitative analyses were done by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This study provides the first concentration data of airborne PFAS from the Southern Hemisphere. Results indicate a strongly decreasing concentration gradient from the European continent toward less industrialized regions. The study confirms that airborne PFAS are mainly restricted to the Northern Hemisphere with a maximum concentration of 190 pg/m**3 (8:2 FTOH) in the first sample collected in the channel between the European mainland and the UK. However, south of the equator, trace amounts of several FTOHs and FOSAs with a maximum of 14 pg/m**3 (8:2 FTOH) could still be detected. Furthermore, a selection of ionic PFAS including perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) were determined in the particulate phase of high-volume air samples by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Levels of ionic PFAS were almost 2 orders of magnitude lower than those of neutral PFAS, with maximum concentrations in the first sample of 2.5 pg/m**3 (PFOS) and 2.0 pg/m**3 (PFOA).

    Description: Stable isotope records, and sedimentological and organic-geochemical investigations of marine sediments from the east Greenland Sea at 70°N provide important information about glacial-interglacial variations of paleoenvironments through the last 225 kyr. The oxygen isotope records established on the planktonic foraminifer N. pachyderma sin. show some excursions from the global climate pattern, probably due to local/regional overprint by meltwater supply. The cold, low-saline East Greenland Current and fluctuations in sea-ice covering were a crucial element controlling the carbonate production in the subsurface/surface water column in the east Greenland Sea over the last 225 kyr. The beginning of Termination Ia is AMS 14C dated at about 15.8 kyr B.P. and interpreted as a Greenland Ice Sheet meltwater signal. The stage 2/3 boundary is dated at about 25 kyr B.P. The timing of the onset of the last deglacial meltwater event is about 800 years earlier than that of the Barents Shelf Ice Sheet meltwater signal recorded in the Fram Strait. Several major pulses of increased supply of coarse-grained terrigenous material by glacio-marine processes occurred during the last 225 kyr. The supply of coarse-grained ice-rafted debris at the East Greenland continental slope reached maximum values during the last glacial maximum (stage 2/Weichselian, 15-19 kyr B.P.). The drastic climatic change and the gradual retreat of continental ice masses/glaciers during the last deglaciation (Termination I) are clearly documented in the marine sedimentary sequences from shelf and upper slope environments. This process resulted in distinctly decreased supply and deposition of ice-rafted debris in the open shelf-upper slope environments. During Termination I, the sea-ice cover also decreased, causing an increase in surface-water productivity, indicated by increased organic carbon and biogenic opal deposition.

    Description: High-resolution stable oxygen and carbon isotope analyses and detailed sedimentological and geochemical investigations were performed in order to i) reconstruct the paleoclimate and paleoceanography of the Greenland Sea associated with late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles, and ii) to link the terrestrial and deep-sea climatic records. The reconstruction of the paleoenvironmental history of the East Greenland margin and the correlation between the terrestrial and deep sea records are major objectives of the ESF-PONAM-Programme (European Science Foundation - Polar North Atlantic Margins). For this study 16 gravity and 2 box cores were recovered along the East Greenland continental margin between 69°N and 72°N on three W-E transects running from the shelf to the deep sea. The glaciomarine sediments recovered from the heavily ice-covered East Greenland continental margin reflect changes associated with the glacial/interglacial climatic cycles of the last 240 ka. The glaciomarine sediments are characterised by a dominance of terrestrially derived components and a lower content of biogenic components. Glaciomarine sedimentation processes, terrigenous sediment input, and biogenic productivity in the study area are strongly influenced by fluctuations in the extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet, extent of the sea-ice cover, rate of iceberg drifting, meltwater input, and changes in the East Greenland Current (EGC). The relatively low carbonate content (〈10 %) and the dominant occurrence of N. pachyderma sin. (〉95 %) throughout the sediment sequences indicate a low biological productivity in the surface water resulting from the extensive sea-ice cover and the strong influence of cold and low-saline polar waters of the EGC. An increase in the surface-water productivity, on the other hand, occurred during certain periods within interglacial and glacial stages. This indicates that the sea ice along the Western margin of the Greenland Sea was at least seasonally reduced during these time intetvals. Based on the accumulation rates of the coarse terrigenous matter (〉63 µm) and amounts of IRD, the advance and retreat of East Greenland glaciers over the past 200 ka can be correlated with those postulated from the terrestrial records. At least five repeated advances and retreats of glaciers beyond the coastline are proposed between the late Early to Middle Weichselian (65-61, 59-51, 48-42, 35-31, and 28-25 ka). Maximum fluxes of IRD recorded along the continental margin between 21 and 16 ka, reflect the maximum extent of East Greenland glaciers probably reaching the shelf break at that time. The stable oxygen isotope records measured on the planktonic foraminifer N. pachyderma sin. reveal some excursions from the global climate record due to a local andlor regional overprint through meltwater supply andlor cold water masses of the EGC. Distinct meltwater events are documented during Terminations II and l and at the beginning of Stage 3 resulting from the collapse of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The early period of all glacial stages (i.e. 716, 514, and 312) was subjected to an abrupt and rapid build-up of a sea-ice cover. Hence, a distinct decrease in the carbonate content, the low number of planktonic foraminifers, and light d13C values reflect the strong reduction in the C02 exchange between the atmosphere and ocean, and the surface-water productivity, resulting from a meltwater cap andlor an extensive sea-ice cover. The onset of Termination l is characterised by a distinct shift towards light d180 values, a dramatic decrease in the IRD-flux, and a marked increase in organic matter, indicating the rapid retreat of East Greenland glaciers and a reduced sea-ice cover. According to distinct shifts toward light d180 and heavy d13C values of N. pachyderma sin. and O. umbonatus, the present-day circulation Patterns of surface- and deep-water masses were probably established between 7.4 and 6.1 ka. This is very similar to the timing estimated from studies On microfossil assemblages of the Greenland Sea. In particular, the distinct IRD peaks correlate with the fluctuations of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last two glacial-interglacial cycles. Most of the major IRD peaks correspond to periods of cooling of air temperatures over Greenland. During the interval between 225 and 60 ka, the IRD peaks are in phase (at the 23-kyr orbital processional cycle) with maximum Summer Insolation at 70°N This suggests that the Greenland Ice Sheet may have experienced a predominantly 23-kyr cycle of growth and decay, and therefore, collapsed and discharged large volumes of icebergs to the Greenland Sea when Summer insolation reached its maxima. During the last glacial period, there is a strong correlation between major pulses in the supply of IRD, and the Bond Cycles and the Heinrich Events recorded in the GRIP ice core and North Atlantic deep-sea sediments. Furthermore, the higher frequency of IRD events on millennial scales matches the cooling phase of the abrupt Dansgaard-Oeschger Cycles recorded in the GRIP ice core. Consequently, the apparent evidence of millennial scale IRD events in the North Atlantic and the GIN Sea suggests coherent fluctuations of the large northern hemisphere ice sheets (i.e. the Fennoscandian/Barents Sea and Laurentide/Greenland ice sheets) during the last glacial period.
