Despite our growing understanding of the global carbon cycle, scientific consensus on the
drivers and mechanisms that control dissolved organic carbon (DOC) turnover in aquatic …

Climate change‐associated sea level rise is expected to cause saltwater intrusion into many
historically freshwater ecosystems. Of particular concern are tidal freshwater wetlands …

Bacterioplankton communities regulate energy and matter fluxes fundamental to all aquatic
life. The Baltic Sea offers an outstanding ecosystem for interpreting causes and …

The influence of altitude and salinity on bacterioplankton community composition (BCC) in
16 high-mountain lakes located at altitudes of 2,817 to 5,134 m on the Eastern Qinghai …

Bacterial community composition and functional potential change subtly across gradients in
the surface ocean. In contrast, while there are significant phylogenetic divergences between …

The steady state concentration of many dissolved chemical constituents in seawater is
dependent on the amount delivered by rivers (Goldschmidt, 1932; Mackenzi and Garrels …

Salinity is one of the most important environmental factors influencing bacterial plankton
communities in lake waters, while its influence on bacterial interactions has been less …

Previous investigations of the salinity effects on the microbial community composition have
largely been limited to dynamic estuaries and coastal solar salterns. In this study, the effects …

The microbial degradation of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen (DOC, DON) was
studied in three Finnish boreal estuaries with contrasting land use patterns (Kiiminkijoki …

Disturbances influence community structure and ecosystem functioning. Bacteria are key
players in ecosystems and it is therefore crucial to understand the effect of disturbances on …
