Had a great time at #EMBS58 hosted by #Norduniversitet in Bodø, Norway!
I presented our Hotfloor system and results from our @coastclim.bsky.social study how #MHWs affect biodiversity and ecosystem metabolism across a habitat gradient.
Thanks for an inspiring conference and fruitful discussions.

🚨 NEW paper alert!
#Seagrass #functional #traits act as predictors of #biomass, albeit moderately. Study conducted across 1500 km coastline.
Main #biodiversity mechanism driving seagrass #biomass stock is through dominance.

🚨New paper out!🚨We show that #MarineHeatwaves amplify benthic metabolism and solute fluxes utilizing new developed #Hotfloor system-an in situ heating experiment.
No major community shifts, but big functional changes! 🌊🔥

Summertime marine heatwaves (MHWs) in 2023/2024 were unprecedented and had wide-ranging biological, physical and societal impacts. Need to develop better response plans and adaptation/intervention approaches as MHWs intensify under climate change. New ms in Nat CC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New publication! Gammal et al. sampled benthic macrofauna, solute fluxes and environmental variables at 3 shallow habitats throughout one year.
Results show that the strength of biodiversity-function relationships really depends on which species are present in which habitat and during which season.

Coastal zones include a variety of habitats and numerous biodiversity components, which provide essential ecosystem functions and services. In the wake of the escalating climate and biodiversity crise...

(Repost from twitter @asloorg.bsky.social 13.11.2023)💡 This #MethodsMonday researchers from
@Tvarminne in collaboration with #RothFinland introduce the new #Hotfloor system to simulate #marineheatwave on the #seafloor. This allows more realistic climate warming studies urgently needed (1/2)

Changing the perspective: So how extreme were the water temperatures this year? #extremetemp #marineheatwave
Depends on the reference period!
