Sentences with phrase «plankton community from»

Scientists of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel used so - called «indoor mesocosms» to mimic the future ocean in their laboratories: They transferred the natural plankton community from the Kiel Fjord into twelve 1400 - liter tanks and brought them to two different temperatures and two different carbon dioxide concentrations.

In parallel, we use high throughput sequencing methods to obtain both deep phylogenetic rDNA / rRNA tag data and metagenomic and metatranscriptomic functional profiles from size fractions covering the entire plankton community from viruses to fish larvae (Figure 2B and 2C).

Not exact matches

Nearly all are part of a drifting community of organisms called plankton, a term derived from the Greek word for wanderer.

But we wanted to observe the natural development of the plankton ecosystem from the first productivity in late winter until summer, closely monitor the succession of the plankton communities and follow how effects of ocean acidification are transmitted from one generation to the next,» Riebesell explains.

Thirty - five scientists from twelve countries deployed these «giant test tubes» in the Kongsfjord off Ny - Ålesund to investigate how ocean acidification affects the plankton community in the Arctic.

In this study we combined results from various in - situ mesocosm studies in two different ocean regions (Arctic and temperate waters) to reveal general patterns of plankton community shifts in response to OA and how these changes are modulated by inorganic nutrient availability.

In an experiment with organisms from the Kiel Fjord, a team of biologists from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel demonstrated for the first time, that ocean acidification and rising water temperatures harms the fatty acid composition of copepods in the natural plankton community.

Bridlington, Whitby, and other English coastal towns have long depended on the North Sea fishery for food and income.2 But global warming is affecting plankton and changing the marine food chain, compounding the pressures of overfishing.3 The resulting disruption of the ecosystem could damage the fishing industry and hurt North Sea coastal communities from the United Kingdom to Scandinavia.
