I am thrilled to share our new study which has just come out in @journalofecology.bsky.social! We show how the wavelength spectrum of #light shapes #phytoplankton communities, and associated consequences for trophic transfer. Light spectrum matters! 🌈🌊

My first post is finally here:

I am very excited to share our newest paper in Ecology where we present the temperature-dependent effect of multiple resources on #phytoplankton growth, using gradients of temperatures, light and nutrients.

What a great first thing to do after my holidays: I am excited to share our newest paper in which we mimicked rainfall scenarios as nutrient and cDOM pulses of different frequency and intensity in #mesocosms and disentangled the effects on plankton #stoichiometry! doi.org/10.1002/lno.... @aslo.org
Nutrient pulse scenarios drive contrasting patterns in the functional stability of freshwater phytoplankton
Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and stochasticity of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storm-induced mixing, or prolonged drought periods. This results in more var...

We introduce a framework on how to partition species contributions to ecological stability in disturbed communities based on species absolute change in biomass and relative change in proportion.

Interestingly, compensatory dynamics between species, where rare species increased in biomass after dominant species decreased in biomass following the disturbance, occurred in both model simulations and empirical data.

@hifmb.bsky.social @icbm-uol.bsky.social
Why are you passionate about your research topic? There is still so much unknown to be discovered in deep-sea research and especially in my field, lipid and metabolite research, that the explorer's heart is burning! We know that the samples are unique and offer insights into a completely foreign world that we want to explore. Dr. Florence Schubotz, Organic Geochemist at MARUM, University of Bremen What impact does your research have? We need to understand what makes marine ecosystems resilient - also to be able to assess how we can best protect the oceans. Prof. Dr. Helmut Hillebrand, marine ecologist at the ICBM/ HIFMB, University of Oldenburg Your research in short: What is the most exciting thing at the moment? As an organic geochemist, I am very interested in how carbon in its various forms moves through marine biota, the ocean and the sea floor - today and in the past, and how these processes interact with the climate. Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Hinrichs, Organic Geochemist at MARUM, University of Bremen Why are you passionate about your research topic? I am fascinated by how tiny microorganisms have such a huge global impact, for example by storing carbon in the ocean. Prof. Dr. Sinikka Lennartz, ocean modeler at the ICBM, University of Oldenburg
