The need for ocean information has never been greater. From climate change to food security and extreme events, we need to understand the role of the ocean and better predict change and impact. This is only possible with the sustained collection of a key set of ocean observations. The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) coordinates international efforts to collect these Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs), which span physics, bi...
Future Climate and Land Use Change Will Equally Impact Global Terrestrial Vertebrate DiversityNARA Subscribed
Aim Terrestrial biodiversity is impacted by both climate and land use change. Yet, future biodiversity projections have rarely considered these two drivers in combination. In this study, we aim to assess the individual and combined impact of future climate and land use change on global terrestrial vertebrate diversity under a ‘sustainability’ (SSP1‐RCP2.6) and an ‘inequality’ (SSP4‐RCP6.0) scenario. Location Global land, exclu...
Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warmingNARA Subscribed
Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from summer habitats in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. We then forecasted how migratory ti...
Extreme physical-oceanographic events, such as marine heatwaves, fluvial floods, droughts and storm surges, have major impacts on local communities, economic sectors and ecosystems, and their frequency, intensity and duration increase due to climate change. There is a lack of understanding of the systemic drivers of extreme events as well as of their interconnected impacts on estuarine and coastal ecosystems. This knowledge is...
Combining Observations and Models: A Review of the CARDAMOM Framework for Data‐Constrained Terrestrial Ecosystem ModelingNARA Subscribed
The rapid increase in the volume and variety of terrestrial biosphere observations (i.e., remote sensing data and in situ measurements) offers a unique opportunity to derive ecological insights, refine process‐based models, and improve forecasting for decision support. However, despite their potential, ecological observations have primarily been used to benchmark process‐based models, as many past and current models lack the c...
Flood events caused by high rainfall can have profound biogeochemical impacts on riverine systems but also on the receiving coastal waters. The winter flood in Germany in December 2023/January 2024 affected the Elbe and Weser River systems. We obtained unique data during the peak of the flood and compared these with the monthly means from previous years (2018-2023). Hydrographic parameters and nutrients were determined by stan...
Key message Accurate prediction of genomic breeding values for Timothy was possible using genomic best linear unbiased prediction. Abstract Timothy ( Phleum pratense L.) is a grass species of great importance for Finnish agricultural production systems. Genotyping-by-sequencing along with genomic prediction methods offer the possibility to develop breeding materials efficiently. In addition, knowledge about the relationships a...
