Brownification reduces oxygen gross primary production and community respiration and changes the phytoplankton community composition: An in situ mesocosm experiment with high-frequency sensor measurements in a North Atlantic bay

Tanguy Soulie et al.

Summary: In recent decades, the increase in terrestrial inputs has led to water color darkening known as brownification. An in situ mesocosm experiment was conducted to simulate brownification and investigate its effects on plankton community composition and functioning. The results suggest that brownification can significantly alter the composition of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities and the overall oxygen metabolism of plankton communities in coastal areas.

The effects of eutrophication and browning on prey availability and body growth of the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

Olivia Bell et al.

Summary: Coastal areas with high productivity and diversity are vulnerable to environmental pressures such as browning and eutrophication. This study found that nutrient enrichment positively influenced the body growth of three-spined stickleback, while browning had a marginal negative effect. Interestingly, nutrient enrichment counteracted the negative effects of browning when combined.

Seasonal patterns in nutrient bioavailability in boreal headwater streams

Mayra P. D. Rulli et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of increased loading of dissolved organic matter on nutrient bioavailability in boreal freshwaters. The study found that the relative bioavailability of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus associated with terrestrial DOM is low in these waters. The study also highlights the seasonal variation in bioavailable organic nutrient pools and their links with temperature and hydrology.

Rewriting results sections in the language of evidence

Stefanie Muff et al.

Summary: Despite criticism, the black-or-white null-hypothesis significance testing with an arbitrary P-value cutoff remains the standard way to report scientific findings. However, a lack of knowledge about suitable alternatives hampers progress. This study suggests using a language of evidence as a simpler and more intuitive alternative, which allows for a more nuanced approach in communicating scientific findings.

An ecological and methodological assessment of benthic gross primary production in northern lakes

I. C. Puts et al.

Summary: Benthic gross primary production (GPP) is important in northern lakes, but measurements and units of benthic GPP are rarely standardized. This study found that benthic GPP rates were influenced by light and temperature, while the whole lake averages were related to the size of the littoral area. The study also compared in situ measurements with modeled values and found differences.

Indirect versus direct effects of freshwater browning on larval fish foraging

Dina M. Leech et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that browning of water does not directly affect the ability of larval fish to capture prey, but it can indirectly impact larval fish foraging, growth, and survival by reducing phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance.

Summary: The study compared the impacts of two leonardite products and a reverse osmosis concentrate on water properties and microbial communities, showing that leonardite products had significant effects on microbial communities, while being detrimental to zooplankton.

DNA metabarcoding reveals trophic niche diversity of micro and mesozooplankton species

Andreas Novotny et al.

Summary: Alternative pathways of energy transfer are essential for guaranteeing functionality and productivity in marine food webs. The complexity of zooplankton interactions, particularly the diversity of trophic niches, is crucial for stabilizing food web efficiency. Small, rarely studied zooplankton species like rotifers and ciliates play significant roles in the Baltic Sea pelagic primary production pathways.

The Baltic Health Index (BHI): Assessing the social-ecological status of the Baltic Sea

Thorsten Blenckner et al.

Summary: The Baltic Health Index (BHI) is introduced as a transparent, collaborative, and repeatable assessment tool for evaluating the health of the Baltic Sea, incorporating a human dimension along with ecological aspects. The overall health of the Baltic Sea is suboptimal, indicating a need for substantial effort to reach management objectives and goals. The BHI outcomes can be used to identify management priorities and illustrate the interconnectedness between different goals.
