The net community production (NCP) of plankton communities affects their role as sources or sinks of atmospheric CO2. Most estimates of NCP have been made by enclosing communities in bottles, generally glass borosilicate, ...

In this study we report the response of net community production (NCP) of plankton communities in the Arctic surface waters exposure to natural ultraviolet radiation (UVR) conditions. A possible bias in previous measurements ...

This study explores in plankton samples the abundance, distribution, size, types (fibres and fragments), colours of the microplastics (MPs) and its relation with the characteristics of the plankton (size and morphology) ...

Global warming affects the hydrological cycle by increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events and dry spells. These changes potentially affect the quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) ...

Although they contribute a significant proportion of peatlands diversity, peat bog pools are poorly surveyed and understood. In this review, the Rancho Hambre peat bog is taken as a study case to investigate the role of ...

Microbial eukaryotes hold a key role in aquatic ecosystem functioning. Yet, their diversity in freshwater lakes, particularly in high-mountain lakes, is relatively unknown compared with the marine environment. Low nutrient ...

With global climate change altering marine ecosystems, research on plankton ecology is likely to navigate uncharted seas. Yet, a staggering wealth of new plankton observations, integrated with recent advances in marine ...
