Geochemical parameters in peat depth profiles from ombrotrophic bogs in North and Central Europe. Drebbersches Moor, Germany

This dataset contains geochemical variables measured in six depth profiles from ombrotrophic peatlands in North and Central Europe. Peat cores were taken during the spring and summer of 2022 from Amtsvenn (AV1), Germany; Drebbersches Moor (DM1), Germany; Fochteloër Veen (FV1), the Netherlands; Bagno Kusowo (KR1), Poland; Pichlmaier Moor (PI1), Austria and Pürgschachen Moor (PM1), Austria. The cores AV1, DM1 and KR1 were taken using a Wardenaar sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands) and had diameter of 10 cm. The cores FV1, PM1 and PI1 had an 8 cm diameter and were obtained using an Instorf sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands). The cores FV1, DM1 and KR1 were 100 cm, core AV1 was 95 cm, core PI1 was 85 cm and core PM1 was 200 cm. The cores were subsampeled in 1 cm (AV1, DM1, KR1, FV1) and 2 cm (PI1, PM1) sections. The subsamples were milled after freeze drying in a ballmill using tungen carbide accesoires. X-Ray Fluorescence (WD-XRF; ZSX Primus II, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) was used to determine Al (μg g-1), As (μg g-1), Ba (μg g-1), Br (μg g-1), Ca (g g-1), Cl (μg g-1), Cr (μg g-1), Cu (μg g-1), Fe (g g-1), K (g g-1), Mg (μg g-1), Mn (μg g-1), Na (μg g-1), P (μg g-1), Pb (μg g-1), Rb (μg g-1), S (μg g-1), Si (μg g-1), Sr (μg g-1), Ti (μg g-1) and Zn (μg g-1). These data were processed and calibrated using the iloekxrf package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024) in R. C, N and their stable isotopes were determined using an elemental analyser linked to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-3000, Eurovector, Pavia, Italy & Nu Horizon, Nu Instruments, Wrexham, UK). C and N were given in units g g-1 and stable isotopes were given as δ13C and δ15N for stable isotopes of C and N, respectively. Raw data C, N and stable isotope data were calibrated with certified standard and blank effects were corrected with the ilokeirms package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024). Using Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIR) (Agilent Cary 670 FTIR spectromter, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Ca, USA) humification indices (HI) were determined. Spectra were recorded from 600 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1 with a resolution of 2 cm-1 and baselines corrected with the ir package (Teickner, 2025) to estimate relative peack heights. The HI (no unit) for each sample was calculated by taking the ratio of intensities at 1630 cm-1 to the intensities at 1090 cm-1. Bulk densities (g cm-3) were estimated from FT-MIR data (Teickner et al., in preparation).

Timeseries of binned benthic stable carbon isotope from ODP Site 162-982,130-807 and ODP Site 162-982

This dataset contains C. wuellerstorfi stable carbon isotope values binned by marine isotope stage from ODP Site 162-807 and ODP Site 162-982 that span the last 4.5 million years (Feng et al. 2022; Venz et al. 1999, 2002; Hodell & Venz-Curtis 2006). This isotope gradient reflects the accumulation of respired and disequilibrium carbon in the deep Pacific ocean relative to the North Atlantic. Also included are binned probstack δ18O (Ahn et al., 2017) and ΔGMST (Clark et al., 2024) values for comparison to the binned stable carbon isotope values.

Seasonal (years 2020-2021) dynamics in pore water composition under impact of submarine groundwater discharge in front of a coastal peatland, southern Baltic Sea

The data set contains the results for the porewater composition of samples, collected from different (up to 11) depths (down to 4.5 mbsf) at two sites in front of the Hütelmoor, southern Baltic Sea. Porewater was under impact by submarine groundwater discharge and collected during 6 field campaigns in years 2020 and 2021 using permanent multi-port samplers. Stable isotope signatures (H, C, O, S), major, and trace element data are presented to characterize the mixture between the endmembers freshwater and the brackish surface water component, superimposed by benthic diagenesis.

Results of palynological analysis from 2020 of the varved MO-05 core from Lake Mondsee (Austria) section (249-526 cm)

This study reports a precisely dated pollen record with a 20-year resolution from the varved sediments of Lake Mondsee in the north-eastern European Alps (47°49′N, 13°24′E, 481 m above sea level). The analysed part of core spans the interval between 1500 BCE and 500 CE and allows changes in vegetation composition in relation to climatic changes and human activities in the catchment to be inferred. Intervals of distinct but modest human impact are identified at ca. 1450-1220, 740-490 and 340-190 BCE and from 80 BCE to 180 CE. While the first two intervals are synchronous with prominent salt mining phases during the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age at the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hallstatt, the last two intervals fall within the Late Iron Age and Roman Imperial Era, respectively. Comparison with published records of extreme runoff events obtained from the same sediment core shows that human activities (including agriculture and logging) around Lake Mondsee were low during intervals of high flood frequency as indicated by a higher number of intercalated detrital event layers, but intensified during hydrologically stable intervals. Comparison of the pollen percentages of arboreal taxa with the stable oxygen isotope and potassium ion records of the NGRIP and GISP2 ice cores from Greenland reveals significant positive correlations for Fagus and negative correlations for Betula and Alnus. This underlines the sensitivity of vegetation around Lake Mondsee to temperature fluctuations in the North Atlantic as well as to moisture fluctuations controlled by changes in the intensity of the Siberian High and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) regime.

Total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Ems Estuary in 2020

We measured total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Ems Estuary (Germany). The cruise took place on two consecutive days in June 2020 (11.06.-12.06.2020) on the German research vessel Ludwig Prandtl. We sampled approx. every 20min along the salinity gradient from the Wadden Sea around Borkum island upstream to Papenburg. Two additional samples were collected from shore at Rhede Brücke and weir Herbrum. We took discrete water samples for TA and DIC. Physical parameters (salinity, temperature) were measured in situ with the on board flow-through FerryBox system, for which water was pumped on board from 1.2m below the surface. These data and complementary data for nutrients and stable nitrate isotopes are accessible in: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.942222

Wechselwirkungen zwischen saisonale arktische Meereisprozessen und Stabilität der Halokline – auf dem Weg zum Verständnis arktischer Gas- und Stoffflüsse

In Folge des globalen Klimawandels hat sich die Meereisdecke in der Arktis dramatisch verändert. Im derzeitigen Zustand spielt die arktische Eisdecke eine wichtige Rolle; so schirmt sie das Oberflächenwasser, die sogenannte arktische Halokline (Salzgehaltsschichtung), von der Erwärmung durch die sommerliche Sonneneinstrahlung ab. Zudem wird die Halokline durch die Salze, welches beim Gefrierprozess des Meerwassers aus der Kristallstruktur austritt, gebildet und stabilisiert. Gleichzeitig wirkt die Halokline als Barriere zwischen der Eisdecke und dem darunter liegenden warmen atlantischen Wasser und trägt so zum Erhalt der arktischen Meereisdecke bei. Dieses Gleichgewicht ist nun durch die insgesamt wesentlich dünnere arktische Meereisdecke und ihre verringerte sommerliche Ausdehnung gestört. Im Meerwasser sind zudem Gase und biogeochemisch wichtige Spurenstoffen enthalten. Diese werden durch die Gefrierprozesse eingeschlossen, beeinflusst und wieder ausgestoßen. So beeinflusst die Meereisdecke die Gas- und Stoffflüsse zwischen Atmosphäre, Eis und oberer Wasserschicht. Durch die Eisbewegung findet außerdem ein Transport statt z.B. in der sogenannten Transpolarendrift von den sibirischen Schelfgebieten, über den Nordpol, südwärts bis ins europäische Nordmeer. Nun wird mit den weitreichenden Veränderungen des globalen und arktischen Klimawandels bereits von der „neuen Arktis“ gesprochen, da angenommen wird, dass sich die Arktis bereits in einem neuen Funktionsmodus befindet. Dabei ist jedoch weitgehend unbekannt wie dieses neue System funktioniert, sich weiterentwickelt und wie sich dies auf die Eisbildungsprozesse und damit die Stabilität der Halokline und die damit verbundenen Gas- und Stoffflüsse auswirkt. Für solche Untersuchungen werden über den Jahresverlauf Proben der oberen Wassersäule und der Eisdecke benötigt. Ermöglicht wird dies durch die wissenschaftliche Initiative MOSAiC. Mithilfe der stabilen Isotope des Wassers (?18O und ?D) aus dem Eis und der Wassersäule kann Rückschlüsse auf die Herkunftswässer und den Gefrierprozess gezogen werden und diese Ergebnisse sollen in direkten Zusammenhang mit Gas- und biogeochemischen Stoffuntersuchungen (aus Partnerprojekten) gesetzt werden. Dabei können z.B. Stürme, Schmelzprozesse, Schneebedeckung, Teichbildung und Alterungseffekte des Eises eine Rolle spielen. Untersucht wird parallel die Veränderung der Wassersäule welche z.B. durch Wärmetransport, wiederum die Eisdecke beeinflussen kann.Diese prozessorientierten Untersuchungen der saisonalen Eisbildungsprozesse in Eis und Wassersäule der zentralen Arktis, werden einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Stabilität der arktischen Halokline und der arktischen Gas- und Stoffflüsse liefern. Da sich die Gase und Stoffe nicht-konservativ verhalten, während die Isotope im Gefrierprozess konservativ sind, erwarten wir aus der Diskrepanz wiederum wichtige Informationen z. B. über wiederholtes Einfrieren von Süßwasserbeimengungen ableiten zu können.

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).
