Physical, chemical, and biogeochemical parameters from a mesocosm experiment at the Sea Surface Facility (SURF), Wilhelmshaven, Germany, spring 2023

This collection (bundled publication) includes datasets from a mesocosm experiment conducted in spring 2023 at the Sea Surface Facility (SURF), Wilhelmshaven, Germany (53.5148° N, 8.1461° E). The experiment initiated a phytoplankton bloom under controlled conditions to examine surface ocean biogeochemistry and sea-surface microlayer (SML) processes. Daily samples were collected from the SML and underlying water (40 cm depth) and analyzed for physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Measurements include meteorological conditions (air temperature, solar irradiance, and albedo), surfactants, nutrients, pigments, particulate and dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen, and additional biogeochemical variables. These datasets provide environmental and biogeochemical context supporting studies on surface ocean processes and are described in detail in the related publication Bibi et al. (2025).

Nanofiltration zur Grundwasseraufbereitung und Sulfatabscheidung bei der Trinkwasseraufbereitung am Beispiel von kippenbelastetem Grundwasser in einem Braunkohlentagebaurevier

Erhöhte Konzentrationen an Sulfat im Trinkwasser können negative Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit der Konsumenten haben und führen zu einem erhöhten Risiko für Korrosionen im Leitungsnetz. Aufgrund dessen schreibt die Trinkwasserverordnung einen Grenzwert von 240 mg/l vor. Erhöhte Konzentrationen an Sulfat im Grundwasser, die eine spezielle Aufbereitungstechnik erfordern, kommen vor allem durch den Einfluss von Tagebauaktivitäten zustande. Im ausgehobenen Kippenmaterial kommt es zur Oxidation des Pyrits, was nach der Verfüllung der Gruben zu einem Anstieg der Sulfat-, Calcium- und Schwermetallkonzentration im Grundwasser führt. In betroffenen Grundwasservorkommen in Deutschland wurden Konzentrationen von bis zu 2500 mg/l Sulfat gemessen. Die Nanofiltration ist eine mögliche Aufbereitungstechnologie, die die Grundwassernutzung in derart beeinträchtigten Standorten auch nach der Verfüllung der Gruben erlaubt. Es wird erwartet, dass die Nanofiltration im Vergleich zu den anderen in Frage kommenden Technologien Ionenaustauscher, Destillation, Elektrodialyse und Umkehrosmose vor allem bei höheren Sulfatkonzentration in der Größenordnung >1000 mg/l das wirtschaftlichste Verfahren darstellt. In dem Projekt Nanofiltration zur Sulfatabscheidung bei der Trinkwasseraufbereitung wird die Aufbereitung mittels Nanofiltration experimentell im Labor- und Pilotmaßstab untersucht. Es wird dabei schwerpunktmäßig ein Standort betrachtet, der im Einflussgebiet des Braunkohletagebaureviers Inden I liegt und derzeit Sulfatkonzentrationen von 1000-1500 mg/l in einem Trinkwasserbrunnen aufweist. Neben der Untersuchung der Nanofiltration an sich wird eine Konzentrataufbereitung mittels CaSO4-Kristallisation auf ihre Effektivität geprüft.

Forschergruppe (FOR) 861: Cross-scale Monitoring: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functions, Quantification of functional hydro-biogeochemical indicators in Ecuadorian ecosystems and their reaction on global change

Water is an intrinsic component of ecosystems acting as a key agent of lateral transport for particulate and dissolved nutrients, forcing energy transfers, triggering erosion, and driving biodiversity patterns. Given the drastic impact of land use and climate change on any of these components and the vulnerability of Ecuadorian ecosystems with regard to this global change, indicators are required that not merely describe the structural condition of ecosystems, but rather capture the functional relations and processes. This project aims at investigating a set of such functional indicators from the fields of hydrology and biogeochemistry. In particular we will investigate (1) flow regime and timing, (2) nutrient cycling and flux rates, and (3) sediment fluxes as likely indicators. For assessing flow regime and timing we will concentrate on studying stable water isotopes to estimate mean transit time distributions that are likely to be impacted by changes in rainfall patterns and land use. Hysteresis loops of nitrate concentrations and calculated flux rates will be used as functional indicators for nutrient fluxes, most likely to be altered by changes in temperature as well as by land use and management. Finally, sediment fluxes will be measured to indicate surface runoff contribution to total discharge, mainly influenced by intensity of rainfall as well as land use. Monitoring of (1) will be based on intensive sampling campaigns of stable water isotopes in stream water and precipitation, while for (2) and (3) we plan to install automatic, high temporal-resolution field analytical instruments. Based on the data obtained by this intensive, bust cost effective monitoring, we will develop the functional indicators. This also provides a solid database for process-based model development. Models that are able to simulate these indicators are needed to enable projections into the future and to investigate the resilience of Ecuadorian landscape to global change. For the intended model set up we will couple the Catchment Modeling Framework, the biogeochemical LandscapeDNDC model and semi-empirical models for aquatic diversity. Global change scenarios will then be analyzed to capture the likely reaction of functional indicators. Finally, we will contribute to the written guidelines for developing a comprehensive monitoring program for biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Right from the beginning we will cooperate with four SENESCYT companion projects and three local non-university partners to ensure that the developed monitoring program will be appreciated by locals and stakeholders. Monitoring and modelling will focus on all three research areas in the Páramo (Cajas National Park), the dry forest (Reserva Laipuna) and the tropical montane cloud forest (Reserva Biologica San Francisco).

Carbon, water and nutrient dynamics in vascular plant- vs. Sphagnum-dominated bog ecosystems in southern Patagonia

In bog ecosystems, vegetation controls key processes such as the retention of carbon, water and nutrients. In northern hemispherical bogs, a shift from Sphagnum- to vascular plant-dominated vegetation is often traced back to Climate Change and increased anthropogenic nitrogen deposition and coincides with substantially reduced capacities in carbon, water and nutrient retention. In southern Patagonia, bogs dominated by Sphagnum and vascular plants coexist since millennia under similar environmental settings. Thus, South Patagonian bogs may serve as ideal examples for the long-term effect of vascular plant invasion on carbon, water and nutrient balances of bog ecosystems. The contemporary balances of carbon and water of both a bog dominated by Sphagnum and vascular plants are determined by CO2- H2O and CH4 flux measurements and an estimation of lateral water losses as well as losses via dissolved organic and inorganic carbon compounds. The high time resolution of simultaneous eddy covariance measurements of CO2 and H2O in both bog types and the strong interaction between climatic variables and the physiology of bog plants allow for direct comparisons of carbon and water fluxes during cold, warm, dry, wet, cloudy or sunny periods. By the combination with leaf-scale measurements of gas exchange and fluorescence, plant-physiological controls of photosynthesis and transpiration can be identified. Long-term peat accumulation rates will be determined by carbon density and age-depth profiles including a characterization of peat humification characteristics. A reciprocal transplantation experiment with incorporated shading, liming and labeled N addition treatments is conducted to explore driving factors affecting competition between Sphagnum and vascular plants as well as the interactions between CO2-, CH4-, and water fluxes and decisive plant functional traits affecting key processes for carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling. Decomposition rates and driving below ground processes are analyzed with a litter bag field experiment and an incubation experiment in the laboratory.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and behavioural trait expression of polar invertebrates

Here, we examine the ecosystem ramifications of changes in sediment-dwelling invertebrate bioturbation behaviour—a key process mediating nutrient cycling—associated with nearfuture environmental conditions (+ 1.5 °C, 550 ppm [pCO2]) for species from polar regions experiencing rapid rates of climate change. This dataset is included in the OA-ICC data compilation maintained in the framework of the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (see https://oa-icc.ipsl.fr). Original data were downloaded from Polar Data Centre (see Source) by the OA-ICC data curator. In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2024) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of carbonate system variables, as described by Nisumaa et al. (2010). In this dataset the original values were archived in addition with the recalculated parameters (see related PI). The date of carbonate chemistry calculation by seacarb is 2024-07-11.

Arctic PASSION - High Resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar based Risk Index Outcome (AP-RIO)

The Risk Index Outcome (RIO) is a critical component of the Polar Operational Limit Assessment Risk Indexing System (POLARIS) developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO, 2016). RIO evaluates the operational risks for ships navigating in ice-infested waters by evaluating ice conditions and offers a quantifiable measure of risk that aids in decision-making for safe navigation in polar regions based on ship ice class, sea ice type/stage of development (SOD) and sea ice concentration (SIC). The DMI-led Automated Sea Ice Products (DMI-ASIP; Wulf et al., 2024, dataset) provides daily maps of SOD and SIC based on Sentinel-1 SAR imagery, AMSR-2 Passive Microwave and Ice Charts from the Greenland and Canadian Ice Services, combined with novel AI retrieval and processing techniques. In the framework of EU funded Arctic PASSION project, we produced 10 years of satellite observation based weekly RIO maps referred as the Arctic PASSION-RIO (AP-RIO) by leveraging DMI-ASIP datasets. The AP-RIO dataset will provide weekly risk assessment maps for the given ship classes and will support the establishment of a 10 year climatology thereby enabling the assessment of RIO variability in the years covered by the input DMI-ASIP products. The AP-RIO dataset will enhance the safety and efficiency of maritime operations in the polar seas, providing a robust reference for evaluating normal and extreme ice conditions. AP-RIO is produced in the framework of the Arctic PASSION project (European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 101003472) and supported by the DMI-ASIP development team. Algorithm and Processing Scheme: SIC and SOD from ASIP are processed (by taking the mean and mode respectively) into a weekly field based on the daily files for that week. This is done for the time period of 3 Oct. 2014 - 3 Oct. 2024. The weekly SOD is used to find the Risk Value (RV) by looking at the lookup table (Dybkjær et al. 2025a). Risk Index Outcome (RIO) values are computed for each pixel in the field based on the RIO formula (RIO = SIC x RV) using the SIC from ASIP and the found RV. The meaning of the computed RIO values can be interpreted using the table in (Dybkjær et al. 2025b). The RIO field is finally saved to weekly NetCDF files.
