🚨🔔 Here she is!!! Our #mesocosm study looking at the effects of #microplastics and #nutrients on #freshwater communities and ecosystem functioning now on 9 pages of ✨open access✨ A4🦐♻️

Field season with #Odonata and #SvenssonLab has begun! . It is the 24th season in our long-term population study of the Common Bluetail Damselfly (Ischnura elegans) and now entails field samplings of adults, larvae, community surveys, genomic sampling and mesocosm experiments 1/

Started the last experiment for my PhD today 🥳 A mesocosm setup investigating the effects of new VS aged #plastic mulch film on #nitrogen partitioning, #GHG emissions, #microbial communities, and soil & plant properties 🤓

Got a nice outdoor mesocosm setup ready to rock and roll. Can’t wait to test cool questions with dull grey fish!

This recently shed (skin was a few feet away) black racer was one of five snakes found under four cattle tanks during my annual mesocosm cleanup. "roommates" included another racer and a garter snake, and the following day a racer with a milk snake

Super cool talk from @ColleenYancey (@NEBiolabs) reiterating my favorite topic: to find new enzymes for a huge range of applications - from plastics degradation to new mol bio tools - look in nature! (And give nature some help with mesocosm perturbations) #ISME19

Celebrating the end of our @aquacosm Transnational Access, where we had a lovely team of international guests here for the course of two months, producing exciting data in a mesocosm experiment with us!

Analysing the first batch of pore water samples from the completed mesocosm experiment, looking at the effects of new VS degraded #plastic mulch film on nutrient cycling 🔄 200 samples down, >800 still to go 🥲 Loving the colours though 💁🏼‍♀️😄

A11: Our invited speaker @marta__moyano discusses how changes in life stage sensitivity can scale up to community-level differences using large-scale mesocosm experiments #SEBconference @SEBiology

Two weeks into the 'new VS degraded' #plastic mulch film mesocosm experiment, and we've already collected 800 #GHG samples, 400 #soil pore water samples, and the radish is growing strong 🌱💪🏻And some treatment effects are already showing 👀

My Lab enters a new phase in our project of ecosystem terraformation (SynTerra)! We have our mesocosm facility starting to run and cyanobacteria from drylands growing. Very exciting research ahead across uncharted territory. @EMBLBarcelona @_JamesSharpe @ftmaestre

1/n. ROV Kiel6000 is in the water for its 1st mission to collect sediment samples in a lander-based mesocosm experiment (1500m depth) that had started in 2023 to study the impact of #Oceanacidification (#climatechange) on small #deepsea organisms & biogeochemistry! #PS143.#Arctic

📖Published📖 . Richard et al. present the Aquatic Metatron, a unique mesocosm facility providing a large-scale experimental resource to study the effects of global change components on ecological and evolutionary dynamics of aquatic ecosystems 🌊 🌎 .

The UW BeanTeam made a mad dash to Ames today to check on our plots at a unique mesocosm site. Here we are investigating the amount of residual labeled N15 following corn using non nod soybeans. @WISoyCheckoff funded! The weeds are not in my plots!
