These findings emphasize the importance of land-sea connections in shaping the quality of waters that sustain life, restore spirits, and protect communities. From the tropics to the poles, impacts of activities on land eventually make their way to the ocean - and it's up to us to mitigate them.

Planktonic microbial communities (esp. those close to shore) were also affected by terrestrial stressors, and among nearshore sites, those with the most nutrient enrichment had microbial communities that were the most unique from more offshore lagoon sites.

We found that precipitation plays a dynamic role in short- (days) and long-term (weeks-to-months) nutrient enrichment but that land cover is an important driver of nutrients regardless of the time-scale of precipitation. Water column fDOM indicates nutrients are coming at least in part from land.

So cool to see all the awesome work here in the comments!

I’d be interested too. I ask a variety of landscape questions related to climate and land use change, spanning arctic plant phenology, alpine ungulate migration, and tropical lagoon biogeochemistry. Field work, remote sensing, & rstats :)

I’ve noticed that when pasting rstudio auto indents code and the first cmd-z unindents code and the second unpastes it on a Mac. Maybe related to that?

Juras seem pretty pricey, so I’m assuming budget is a little flexible? I’ve really enjoyed my breville barista express but it’s a bit more than that delonghi option. Had it for about a year now and it’s been good for a house of 2 incl 1 covfefe fiend
