Modeling of Stream Metabolism from Reach-scale to the Scale of Entire River Networks

Streams are key components of the global carbon (C) cycle. The river network conceptualization moved from the pipelineâ idea, in which C is solely transported, to the active ecosystemâ concept, in which both terrestrial derived and autochthonous C ...

On the fractal structure of soil moisture fields

Andrea Rinaldo

We study the spatial structure of soil moisture fields within savanna ecosystems, whose persistence is vital because it is the driver of the entire ecological structure and function. These include changes in the physical and biogeochemical conditions of th ...

Towards simple tools to assess functional effects of contaminants on natural microbial and invertebrate sediment communities

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Maria del Carmen Casado Martinez, Sophie Campiche

Surface sediments can accumulate contaminants that affect microorganisms and invertebrates and disturb benthic ecological functions. However, effects of contaminants on ecological functions supported by sediment communities are understudied. Here, we teste ...

Early-Career Coordinated Distributed Experiments: Empowerment Through Collaboration

Luis Gómez Gener

Coordinated distributed experiments (CDEs) enable the study of large-scale ecological patterns in geographically dispersed areas, while simultaneously providing broad academic and personal benefits for the participants. However, the effective involvement o ...

Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone

Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Viruses interfere with their host's metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients. Here, we focus on coastal marine ecosystems and we sequence the viral metag ...
