Submesoscale‐Permitting Physical/Biogeochemical Future Projections for the Main Hawaiian Islands

T. Friedrich, B. S. Powell, J. L. Gunnarson, G. Liu et al. • Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems (2024)

Abstract Global climate models provide useful tools to forecast large‐scale anthropogenic trends and the impacts on ocean physics and marine biology and chemistry. Due to coarse spatial resolution, they typically lack the ability to represe...

A macrozoobenthic data set of the Black Sea northwestern shelf

Séverine Chevalier, Olivier Beauchard, Adrian Teacă, Tatiana Begun et al. • Scientific Data (2025)

Abstract Benthic ecological data are crucial to study and manage ecosystems. On the one hand, abiotic and species data provide complementary information to identify habitats. On the other hand, trait data, describing taxon characteristics, ...

Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database

T. T. van Leeuwen, G. R. van der Werf, A. A. Hoffmann, R. G. Detmers et al. • Biogeosciences (2014)

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be com...

Effects of sponge‐to‐sponge contact on the microbiomes of three spatially competing Caribbean coral reef species

Shelby E. Gantt, Patrick M. Erwin • MicrobiologyOpen (2023)

Abstract Sponges perform important ecosystem functions, host diverse microbial symbiont communities (microbiomes), and have been increasing in density on Caribbean coral reefs over the last decade. Sponges compete for space in coral reef co...

Exposure, hazard, and vulnerability and their contribution to Schistosoma haematobium re-infection in northern Senegal

Andrea J Lund, PhD, Susanne H Sokolow, PhD, Isabel J Jones, PhD, Chelsea L Wood, PhD et al. • The Lancet Planetary Health (2021)

Background: The risk of infectious diseases, including snail-borne schistosomiasis, is determined by three inter-related components: exposure, hazard, and vulnerability. For schistosomiasis, exposure occurs through behaviours involving wate...

Response of Phytoplankton Assemblages From Naturally Acidic Coastal Ecosystems to Elevated pCO2

Natalia Osma, Natalia Osma, Laura Latorre-Melín, Bárbara Jacob et al. • Frontiers in Marine Science (2020)

The interplay of coastal oceanographic processes usually results in partial pressures of CO2 (pCO2) higher than expected from the equilibrium with the atmosphere and even higher than those expected by the end of the century. Although this i...
