Phenology and ecological role of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs in freshwaters

Assessing environmental gradients in relation to dark CO2 fixation in estuarine wetland microbiomes

Globisporangium tabrizense sp. nov., Globisporangium mahabadense sp. nov., and Pythium bostanabadense sp. nov. (Oomycota), three new species from Iranian aquatic environments
Secchi Depth Retrieval in Oligotrophic to Eutrophic Chilean Lakes Using Open Access Satellite-Derived Products
In this study, the use of open access satellite data for estimating Secchi disk depths in 3 lakes in Chile was investigated. In the oligotrophic Lake Panguipulli, no relationship was observed between estimated and measured Secchi disk depths. This highlight the need for methodological advances in the processing of satellite-derived water quality products,s, especially for very clear waters.
Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity
Lake ecological restoration of vegetation removal mitigates algal blooms and alters landscape patterns of water and sediment bacteria
Microbial response to deliquescence of nitrate-rich soils in the hyperarid Atacama Desert

Complete genome sequence of the marine mangrove fungus Sarcopodium sp.QM3–1 confirmed its high potential for antimicrobial activity

Rapid Eutrophication of a Clearwater Lake: Trends and Potential Causes Inferred From Phosphorus Mass Balance Analyses
In just 10 years, the phosphorus concentration in Lake Stechlin has quadrupled, which has been accompanied by algal blooms, oxygen depletion in the deep water and other signs of eutrophication. The study now shows that the causes are not always to be found in increasing nutrient inputs from the catchment or in re-dissolution processes in the deep areas of the lake, but also in the shallower parts.
