Stratification controls the magnitude of in-lake phosphorus cycling: insights from a morphologically complex eutrophic lakeNARA Subscribed
Using a combination of sediment trap experiments, sedimentary biogeochemical analyses and mass balance calculations, we conducted a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of the in-lake phosphorus (P) cycles including in both the water and sediment phases for Lake Hiidenvesi, a dimictic eutrophic lake in southern Finland. We explicitly demonstrated the heterogeneity of the in-lake P cycles between basins with distinct morpholog...
The Sand Motor is a very large (20 million m 3 ) nourishment constructed along the coast in The Netherlands. The huge volume of sand is redistributed along the coast by natural forces stemming from tidal currents and waves. For environmental evaluation of this large construction, the benthic subtidal fauna has been sampled prior to the construction of the Sand Motor, and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 years after construction. Although som...
Dynamical downscaling of unforced interannual sea-level variability in the North-West European shelf seasNARA Subscribed
Variability of Sea-Surface Height (SSH) from ocean dynamic processes is an important component of sea-level change. In this study we dynamically downscale a present-day control simulation of a climate model to replicate sea-level variability in the Northwest European shelf seas. The simulation can reproduce many characteristics of sea-level variability exhibited in tide gauge and satellite altimeter observations. We examine th...
Genetic mapping of tuber size distribution and marketable tuber yield under drought stress in potatoesNARA Subscribed
Drought sensitivity of potato leads to a reduction in total tuber yield and marketable yield. An investigation of drought effects on tuber yield attributes will facilitate our understanding of how to reduce such huge yield losses. We have evaluated tuber yield, tuber size distribution and marketable yield of a set of 103 European commercial potato cultivars under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions in the field. The multi-y...
Sprouting as a gardening strategy to obtain superior supplementary food: evidence from a seed‐caching marine wormNARA Subscribed
Only a handful of non‐human animals are known to grow their own food by cultivating high‐yield fungal or algal crops as staple food. Here we report an alternative strategy utilized by an omnivorous marine worm, Hediste diversicolor, to supplement its diet: gardening by sprouting seeds. In addition to having many other known feeding modes, we showed using video recordings and manipulative mesocosm experiments that this species...
