北大西洋の生物生産性に対する栄養供給の変化の影響を評価する.

主な方法:

フロリダ海峡の栄養と酸素の分析
若いドライアス期における大西洋南側転覆循環 (AMOC) との相関.

主要な成果:

フロリダ海峡で栄養素の減少と酸素の増加が観測されました
これらの変化は,弱まったAMOCと一致しました.
生物学的生産性の低下は,北大西洋のより高い緯度で観察された.

結論:

この研究は,栄養素供給の減少と生物学的生産性の低下との関連を裏付けています.
発見は,弱まったAMOCが海洋の栄養輸送と海洋生態系に重大な影響を及ぼすことを示唆しています.

Global Climate Change

24.3K

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

25.5K

Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

What is Climate?

18.4K

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

¹³C NMR: ¹H–¹³C Decoupling

1.1K

The probability of having two carbon-13 atoms next to each other is negligible because of the low natural abundance of carbon-13. Consequently, peak splitting due to carbon-carbon spin-spin coupling is not observed in spectra. However, protons up to three sigma bonds away split the carbon signal according to the n+1 rule, resulting in complicated spectra.
A broadband decoupling technique is used to simplify these complex, sometimes overlapping, signals. Broadband decoupling relies on a...

Primary Production

23.6K

The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.
