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).
We consider clay minerals, iron oxides and charcoal as major components controlling the formation of interfaces relevant for sorption of organic chemicals, as they control the assemblage of organic matter and mineral particles. We studied the formation of interfaces in batch incubation experiments with inoculated artificial soils consisting of model compounds (clay minerals, iron oxide, char) and natural soil samples. Results show a relevant contribution of both iron oxides and clay minerals to the formation of organic matter as sorptive interfaces for hydrophobic compounds. Thus, we intend to focus our work in the second phase on the characterization of the interface as formed by organic matter associated with clay minerals and iron oxides. The interfaces will be characterized by the BET-N2 and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGME) methods and 129Xe and 13C NMR spectroscopy for determination of specific surface area, sorptive domains in the organic matter and microporosity. A major step forward is expected by the analysis of the composition of the interface at different resolution by reflected-light microscopy (mm scale), SEM (scanning electron microscopy, micrometer scale) and secondary ion mass spectrometry at the nanometer scale (nanoSIMS). The outcomes obtained in combination with findings from cooperation partners will help to unravel the contribution of different types of soil components on the formation and characteristics of the biogeochemical interfaces and their effect on organic chemical sorption.
Mikroorganismen sind im Boden, in kryptogamen Gemeinschaften und in der Atmosphäre von zentraler Bedeutung. Verschiedene Spezies von Bakterien, Pilzen, Flechten und Pollen wurden bereits als Eiskeime, welche eine Eisbildung bei relativ hohen Temperaturen initiieren können, identifiziert, und besonders biologische Bestandteile aus dem Boden sind eine vermutlich bedeutsame Quelle atmosphärischer Eiskeime. Die genauen Quellen biologischer Eiskeime in der Atmosphäre sind jedoch kaum bekannt, obwohl ein potentieller Beitrag dieser, zur Eis- und Niederschlagsbildung mittlerweile von verschiedenen Studien untermauert wird. Aktuelle Untersuchungen verschiedener Boden- und Luftproben zeigen Hinweise, dass verschiedene eisaktive Pilze unterschiedlicher Phyla nicht nur im Boden und in der Luft vorhanden sind, sondern auch häufig in der kultivierbaren Fraktion vorkommen können. Aus diesem Grund befasst sich das vorgeschlagene Projekt mit der Suche nach weiteren bisher unbekannten eisaktiven Mikroorganismen und Bestandteilen aus dem Boden, von Pflanzen und kryptogamen Gemeinschaften und mit der Erforschung ihres Einflusses auf die Eiskeimaktivität des Bodens. Die nötigen Methoden für ein Screening verschiedenster Kulturen z.B. von Cyanobakterien sind in unserem Labor gut etabliert. Zudem sollen die jeweiligen Eiskeime der neu gefundenen eisaktiven Organismen auf molekularer Ebene charakterisiert werden.
Unsere Motivation ist es, die Rolle von gelöstem organischem Material (DOM) in marinen Oberflächenfilmen (SML) als eine Schlüsselkomponente zu verstehen, die den Gasaustausch zwischen Atmosphäre und Meer, die Karbonatchemie, sowie die Ökophysiologie der assoziierten Organismen beeinflusst (Engel et al., 2017). Während unserer Vorarbeiten haben wir Hinweise auf einen bisher unbekannten Zusammenhang zwischen DOM und Karbonatchemie in der SML gefunden, sowie auf eine hohe räumlich-zeitliche Dynamik in der DOM-Zusammensetzung. Obwohl die hohe Heterogenität des SML-DOM-Geometabolom (d.h. die Gesamtheit des DOM-Pools, der durch biotische und abiotische Prozesse produziert und modifiziert wird) bekannt ist, gibt es wenige detaillierte Studien darüber. Insgesamt gibt es noch kein mechanistisches Verständnis darüber, unter welchen Bedingungen DOM in der SML in verschiedene chemische Fraktionen aufgeteilt wird. Dies liegt an der derzeit geringen Verfügbarkeit von Daten von einer größeren Anzahl von Untersuchungsstandorten unter unterschiedlichen Umwelt- und Versuchsbedingungen, sowie an einen Mangel an interdisziplinären Studien, die Physik, Geochemie und Biologie kombinieren. Mit anderen Worten, uns fehlen grundlegende (organo-)geochemische Informationen von der größten Luft-Wasser-Grenzfläche der Erde, mit unbekannten Konsequenzen für den damit verbundenen Austausch von klimarelevanten Gasen. In diesem Projekt streben wir an, diese Lücke durch sich ergänzende Messungen der DOM-Zusammensetzung und anorganischer Kohlenstoff-Systemparameter zu schließen. Die Relevanz für die Forschungseinheit BASS ergibt sich aus dem Ziel unseres Teilprojekts, die fehlenden grundlegenden biogeochemischen Informationen des SML-DOM-Inventars zur Verfügung zu stellen und sie in den Kontext der Ökosystemprozesse in der SML zu setzen, einschließlich der DOM-Produktion (SP1.1) sowie des mikrobiellen (SP1.2) und photochemischen (SP1.4) Umsatzes. Darüber hinaus werden wir den Beitrag des DOM-Geometaboloms zum Säure-Basen-Gleichgewicht der SML untersuchen, von dem wir erwarten, dass es die Gasgleichgewichte in der Grenzfläche - insbesondere im Kohlensäuresystem und damit auch die Treibhausgasflüsse - beeinflusst (SP2.1).
The formation of biogeochemical interfaces in soils is controlled, among other factors, by the type of particle surfaces present and the assemblage of organic matter and mineral particles. Therefore, the formation and maturation of interfaces is studied with artificial soils which are produced in long-term biogeochemical laboratory incubation experiments (3, 6, 12, 18 months. Clay minerals, iron oxides and charcoal are used as major model components controlling the formation of interfaces because they exhibit high surface area and microporosity. Soil interface characteristics have been analyzed by several groups involved in the priority program for formation of organo-mineral interfaces, sorptive and thermal interface properties, microbial community structure and function. Already after 6 months of incubation, the artificial soils exhibited different properties in relation to their composition. A unique dataset evolves on the development and the dynamics of interfaces in soil in the different projects contributing to this experiment. An integrated analysis based on a conceptual model and multivariate statistics will help to understand overall processes leading to the biogeochemical properties of interfaces in soil, that are the basis for their functions in ecosystems. Therefore, we propose to establish an integrative project for the evaluation of data obtained and for publication of synergistic work, which will bring the results to a higher level of understanding.
We will compare the role of an RNA-binding protein in floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana and Hordeum vulgare. The RNA-binding protein AtGRP7 promotes floral transition mainly by downregulating the floral repressor FLC via the autonomous pathway. Based on our observation that AtGRP7 affects the steady-state abundance of a suite of microRNA precursors, we will globally compare the small RNA component of the transcriptome during FTi regulation in wild type plants and AtGRP7 overexpressors by deep sequencing. This will extend the knowledge on small RNAs associated with floral transition and provide insights into the regulatory network downstream of this RNA-binding protein. Further, we will address the question how AtGRP7 orthologues function in crop species lacking FLC homologues. A barley line with highly elevated levels of the AtGRP7 orthologue HvGR-RBP1 shows accelerated FTi and preanthesis development when compared to a near-isogenic parent with very low expression of this gene. We will characterize in detail flowering of this line with respect to different photoperiods and its vernalization requirement. We will employ a TILLING approach to further delineate the function of HvGR-RBP1 in flowering. A candidate gene approach to identify downstream targets will provide insights into the signaling pathways through which HvGR-RBP1 influences FTi. This project contributes to the development of a functional cross-species network of FTi regulators, the major strategic aim of the SPP.
Due to the often practised uncontrolled disposal into the environment, olive oil production wastewater (OPWW) is presently a serious environmental problem in Palestine and Israel. The objectives of this interdisciplinary trilateral research project are (i) to understand the mechanisms of influence of the olive oil production wastewater on soil wettability, water storage, interaction with organic agrochemicals and pollutants; (ii) monitor short-term and long-term effects of OPWW land application in model laboratory and field experiments; (iii) identify the components responsible for unwanted changes in soil properties and (iv) analyse the mechanisms of association of OPWW OM with soil, the interplay between climatic conditions, pH, presence of multivalent cations and the resulting effects of land application. Laboratory incubation experiments, field experiments and new experiments to study heat-induced water repellency will be conducted to identify responsible OPWW compounds and mechanisms of interaction. Samples from field experiments and laboratory experiments are investigated using 3D excitation-emission fluorescence spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis-mass spectrometry (TGA-DSC-MS), LC-MS and GC-MS analyses. We will combine thermal decomposition profiles from OPWW and OPWW-treated soils in dependence of the incubation status using TGA-DSC-MS, contact angle measurements, sorption isotherms and the newly developed time dependent sessile drop method (TISED). The resulting process understanding will open a perspective for OPWW wastewater reuse in small-scale and family-scale olive oil production busi-nesses in the Mediterranean area and will further help to comprehend the until now not fully un-ravelled effects of wastewater irrigation on soil water repellency.
