The response of coastal lagoon plankton communities to warming was studied during two in situ mesocosm experiments in spring and fall of 2018 in the Mediterranean. Phytoplankton biomass, gross primary production (GPP), community respiration (R), phytoplankton growth (µ)...

Diazotrophs are often limited by iron (Fe) availability in the oligotrophic ocean. The Western Tropical South Pacific (WTSP) ocean has been suggested as an intense N2 fixation area due to Fe fertilizations through shallow hydrothermal activity. Yet, the Fe demand of dia...

Along the European coasts, changes in the timing of the storm surge season are analyzed. Using 10 long-term tide gauges located in western Europe, a consistent spatio-temporal shift emerged in the storm surge season between 1950 and 2000. Temporal shifts are positive (l...

Understanding ocean excess heat uptake is crucial for assessing climate warming, yet uncertainties remain about its history and redistribution. Here, we reconstruct ocean heat content change along the 25°N Atlantic hydrographic section and assess its spatiotemporal orig...

Highlights: • Predators regulate mosquitoes differentially in cattle dung-polluted waters. • Anisops sardea had higher interaction strength compared to Lovenula falcifera. • Interaction strength of heterospecifics was highest in highly polluted habitats. • Non-trophic i...

Highlights: • Invasive terrestrial invertebrates cost the global economy US$ 712.44 billion up to 2020. • These costs are rising and were mostly due to invasive insects (88%). • The highest costs were reported from North America (73% of the global costs). • These costs ...

This paper presents results from an experimental study of the mechanical behaviour of flax fibre reinforced acrylic composites after immersion in seawater. First, in-plane design data are presented. Then, seawater diffusion kinetics are shown, the influence of seawater ...

Highlights: • A chiral HPLC method was validated to determine usnic acid (UA) enantiomer ratios. • Molecular dynamics simulation revealed chiral chromatographic mechanisms. • MS imaging was used for spatial distribution of UA in lichen cross sections. • Fluorescence mic...

Some of the highest microplastic concentrations in marine environments have been reported from the Fram Strait in the Arctic. This region supports a diverse ecosystem dependent on high concentrations of zooplankton at the base of the food web. Zooplankton samples were c...

The goal of this study was to determine whether a bio-based self-reinforced polylactic acid (SRPLA) is suitable for use in structures deployed in the marine environment. The material was produced from co-mingled fibres with different melting points. Two key criteria, du...
