Bacterioplankton community shifts in an arctic lake correlate with seasonal changes in organic matter source.
Seasonal shifts in bacterioplankton community composition in Toolik Lake, a tundra lake on the North Slope of Alaska, were related to shifts in the source (terrestrial versus phytoplankton) and lability of dissolved organic matter (DOM). A shift in community composition, measured by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rRNA genes, occurred at 4 degrees C in near-surface waters ...
متن کاملBenthic Invertebrate Community Structure
Fundamental to the scientific method is the use of controls or control conditions against which results obtained under test conditions are compared. In field studies, all variables cannot be controlled and replicates cannot be randomly assigned to treatments, so an attempt is made to choose test and control conditions (often represented by different sites) that are as similar as possible; the v...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in POC export flux in the Chukchi Sea and implications for water column-benthic coupling in Arctic shelves
As part of the 2002 Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI) process study, measurements of the seasonal variation in the export flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) are reported for the upper waters of the Chukchi Sea. POC fluxes were quantified by determination of Th/U disequilibrium and POC/Th ratios in large ð453mmÞ aggregates collected using in situ pumps. Samples were collected at 35 stations o...
متن کاملMicrobial Community Response to Terrestrially Derived Dissolved Organic Matter in the Coastal Arctic
Warming at nearly twice the global rate, higher than average air temperatures are the new 'normal' for Arctic ecosystems. This rise in temperature has triggered hydrological and geochemical changes that increasingly release carbon-rich water into the coastal ocean via increased riverine discharge, coastal erosion, and the thawing of the semi-permanent permafrost ubiquitous in the region. To det...
متن کاملOrganic matter transformations in the upper mesopelagic zone of the North Pacific: Chemical composition and linkages to microbial community structure
[1] Transformation processes in the euphotic and mesopelagic zones are of crucial importance to the biological pump and global elemental cycles. In this study, elemental stoichiometries and chemical compositions of particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) were investigated in the euphotic and upper mesopelagic zones of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The distributions of bacterial bio...
