Had a great time at #EMBS58 hosted by #Norduniversitet in Bodø, Norway!
I presented our Hotfloor system and results from our @coastclim.bsky.social study how #MHWs affect biodiversity and ecosystem metabolism across a habitat gradient.
Thanks for an inspiring conference and fruitful discussions.

🚨 NEW paper alert!
#Seagrass #functional #traits act as predictors of #biomass, albeit moderately. Study conducted across 1500 km coastline.
Main #biodiversity mechanism driving seagrass #biomass stock is through dominance.

🚨New paper out!🚨We show that #MarineHeatwaves amplify benthic metabolism and solute fluxes utilizing new developed #Hotfloor system-an in situ heating experiment.
No major community shifts, but big functional changes! 🌊🔥

Väitöskirjatutkijat ovat keskeinen osa @tvarminne.bsky.social CoastClim-tutkimuskeskuksen toimintaa. Tutkimusta tehdään esimerkiksi meren lämpöaaltojen vaikutuksista ekosysteemeihin, levien sopeutumiskyvystä ja ruovikoiden kyvystä varastoida hiiltä.

Summertime marine heatwaves (MHWs) in 2023/2024 were unprecedented and had wide-ranging biological, physical and societal impacts. Need to develop better response plans and adaptation/intervention approaches as MHWs intensify under climate change. New ms in Nat CC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In 2023–2024, widespread marine heatwaves associated with record ocean temperatures impacted ocean processes, marine species, ecosystems and coastal communities, with economic consequences. Despite wa...

New publication! Gammal et al. sampled benthic macrofauna, solute fluxes and environmental variables at 3 shallow habitats throughout one year.
Results show that the strength of biodiversity-function relationships really depends on which species are present in which habitat and during which season.

Coastal zones include a variety of habitats and numerous biodiversity components, which provide essential ecosystem functions and services. In the wake of the escalating climate and biodiversity crise...

(Repost from twitter @asloorg.bsky.social 13.11.2023)💡 This #MethodsMonday researchers from
@Tvarminne in collaboration with #RothFinland introduce the new #Hotfloor system to simulate #marineheatwave on the #seafloor. This allows more realistic climate warming studies urgently needed (1/2)

Changing the perspective: So how extreme were the water temperatures this year? #extremetemp #marineheatwave
Depends on the reference period!

Out now: The cook book on how to simulate a #marineheatwave on the seafloor 🔥
Simply rip out your underfloor heating and put it in a chamber! 😋

Hey #ASLO23 are you curious about a newly developed method to investigate the effect of marine #heatwaves on benthic communities 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙪? Then come and check out our talk tomorrow on wednesday at 9:30 in the Auditorium Illes Baleares.

Importance of shifting baselines - be aware what reference period you use for assessing #climatechange! We investigate #extremetemp and sub-surface #marineheatwave using a 90-year #timeseries, now published in @CommsEarth.

Thanks @YleVastnyland for their interest in #MHW and #Warming of the #BalticSea.Great story about our pilot-study in cooperation with #RothFinland using a floor heating system to...well...heat the floor.This was only the start! ;-) @JoannaNorkko @anorkko @LauraKauppi @Tvarminne
