Ecosystem Engineering: Sediment entrainment and flocculation mediated by microbial produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)

Sediment erosion and transport is critical to the ecological and commercial health of aquatic habitats from watershed to sea. There is now a consensus that microorganisms inhabiting the system mediate the erosive response of natural sediments ('ecosystem engineers') along with physicochemical properties. The biological mechanism is through secretion of a microbial organic glue (EPS: extracellular polymeric substances) that enhances binding forces between sediment grains to impact sediment stability and post-entrainment flocculation. The proposed work will elucidate the functional capability of heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae for mediating freshwater sediments to influence sediment erosion and transport. The potential and relevance of natural biofilms to provide this important 'ecosystem service' will be investigated for different niches in a freshwater habitat. Thereby, variations of the EPS 'quality' and 'quantity' to influence cohesion within sediments and flocs will be related to shifts in biofilm composition, sediment characteristics (e.g. organic background) and varying abiotic conditions (e.g. light, hydrodynamic regime) in the water body. Thus, the proposed interdisciplinary work will contribute to a conceptual understanding of microbial sediment engineering that represents an important ecosystem function in freshwater habitats. The research has wide implications for the water framework directive and sediment management strategies.

Physical oceanography during RV HEINCKE cruise HE671

Conductivity-temperature-depth profiles were measured using a Seabird SBE 911plus CTD during RV HEINCKE cruise HE671. The CTD was equipped with duplicate sensors for temperature (SBE3plus), conductivity (SBE4) and oxygen (SBE43). Additional sensors such as a WET Labs C-Star transmissometer, a WET Labs ECO-AFL fluorometer and an altimeter (PSA-916 Teledyne (Benthos)) were mounted to the CTD. Temperature, conductivity and oxygen sensors are calibrated by the manufacturer once a year before being mounted in January. They are used throughout the year and no post-cruise or in-situ calibration is applied. All other sensors are calibrated irregularly. Data were connected to the station book of the specific cruise as available in the DSHIP database. Processing of the data including removal of obvious outliers followed the procedures described in CTD Processing Logbook of RV HEINCKE (hdl:10013/epic.47427). The processing report for this dataset is linked below.

Ostracodenfaunen und ihre Klappenchemie in hohen Breiten: Paläozeanographische Eichung über benthische Foraminiferenfaunen und deren Gehäusechemie

Vorrangiges Ziel des Projekts ist die Erfahrung der modernen benthischen Ostracodenfauna des Südatlantiks und angrenzenden Sektors des zirkumpolaren Ringozeans sowie die Kartierung ökologischer Präferenzen einzelner Arten im Ver- und Abgleich mit bereits untersuchten Umweltansprüchen benthischen Foraminiferenfaunen. Weiterhin werden die Verhältnisse der stabilen Sauerstoff- und Kohlenstoffisotope der Gehäuseklappen ausgewählter Ostracodenarten mit denen benthischer Foraminiferengehäuse aus denselben Proben und mit den entsprechenden Sauerstoffisotropenwerten Werten des Wassers sowie den Kohlenstoffisotopenwerten des gelösten anorganischen Kohlenstoffs des Bodenwassers verglichen. Ebenso werden die Mg- und Sr-Gehalte von benthischen Ostracodenklappen bestimmt und wieder mit denen benthischer Foraminiferen aus denselben Proben verglichen. Während Faunenzusammensetzungen im Nordatlantik uns Spurenelementverteilungen von Ostracoden bereits erfolgreich zur paläozeanographischen Rekonstruktion und zur Paläotemperaturbestimmung eingesetzt wurden, steht die Interpretation der Isotopenverhältnisse und deren Nutzung als paläozeanographische Proxies noch am Anfang. Die Ergebnisse aller Analysen aus Südatlantik und Weddellmeer sollen mit den Ergebnissen aus Nordatlantik und Nordpolarmeer verglichen werden. Aus der Faunenzusammensetzung und Gehäusechemie mariner benthischer Ostracoden abgeleitete Proxyparameter müssen dann vermutlich nachgereicht werden. Auch eine umgekehrte Anpassung etablierter Proxies aus benthischen Foraminiferen ist möglichl. In jedem Falle wird die Aussagekraft und Vertrauenswürdigkeit paläoozeanographischer und -klimatischer Rekontstruktionen entscheidend verbessert.
