Long-Term Reindeer Exclusion Leads to Higher Carbon Storage and Less Recalcitrant Carbon Compounds in Boreal Forest SoilsNARA Subscribed
Dry and unproductive Scots pine forests in the northern boreal forest zone provide conditions where ground-dwelling lichens can thrive. These lichens are a crucial winter forage for reindeer. Reindeer reduce lichen biomass both by consumption and trampling, leading to cascading effects on microclimate, litter inputs, and soil carbon dynamics. To investigate long-term impacts of reindeer exclusion, we assessed the plant biomass...
Tide gauges have been critical sources for sea level research, enabling the development of tidal theory and an understanding of local variations that occur across the global oceans. Tides play important roles in a variety of oceanographic and geodetic applications, and characterizing their spatial variability is valuable for applications ranging from fishing to flood risk management. This manuscript presents the coastal charac...
Development of image analysis tool to evaluate Langerhans cell migration after exposure to isothiazolinonesNARA Subscribed
Incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is rising worldwide as a consequence of raising chemical exposure, especially from biocides present in common water-based products such as cosmetics and household products. Understanding the biological processes involved in skin sensitization is crucial to mitigating ACD. Migration of Langerhans cells to the basal lamina of the skin is a key step in sensitization. Animal testing f...
The absolute sea level trend from May 1995 to May 2019 in the Baltic Sea is analyzed by means of a regional monthly gridded dataset based on a dedicated processing of satellite altimetry data. In addition, we evaluate the role of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the wind patterns in shaping differences in sea level trend and variability at a sub-basin scale. To compile the altimetry dataset, we use information collected in c...
A global analysis of complexity–biodiversity relationships on marine artificial structuresNARA Subscribed
Aim Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the patch‐scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally according to the environmental stressors complexity mitigates, and the species richness and identity of potential colonists. Using a manipulative experiment, we assessed spatial variation in patch‐scale effects of complexity on intertidal biodiversity. Lo...
Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis (Schmidt) is presently considered to consist of a single spawning population extending from California through the Bering Sea. However, this satellite tagging investigation suggests that geographic landforms and discontinuities in the continental shelf appear to limit the interchange of mature Pacific halibut among large marine ecosystems and delineate the boundaries of potential spawnin...
The brackish water of the Baltic Sea is a mixture of ocean water from the Atlantic/North Sea with fresh water from various rivers draining a large area of lowlands and mountain ranges. The evaporation-precipitation balance results in an additional but minor excess of fresh water. The rivers carry different loads of salts washed out of the ground, in particular calcium carbonate, which cause a composition anomaly of the salt di...
Habitat and behaviour of yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares in the Gulf of Mexico determined using pop‐up satellite archival tagsNARA Subscribed
This study presents the first data on movement, habitat use and behaviour for yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares in the Atlantic Basin. Six individuals were tracked in the Gulf of Mexico using pop‐up satellite archival tags. Records up to 80 days in length were obtained, providing information on depth and temperature preferences as well as horizontal movements. Thunnus albacares in the Gulf of Mexico showed a strong preference f...
