Assessment of microphytobenthos communities in the Kinzig catchment using photosynthesis-related traits, digital light microscopy and 18S-V9 amplicon sequencing

<p>This folder contains the datasets used in the article submitted to Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution in which we investigated the functional and compositional responses of microphytobenthos communities to surrounding land uses in the Kinzig River catchment, central Germany. We measured photosynthetic biomass using a Benthotorch, and analysed the diatom community using a newly developed digital light microscopy approach and 18S-V9 amplicon sequencing to characterise the whole protistan assemblages at sampling sites located in rural vs. urban areas.</p> <p>The folder contain the following datasets:</p> <p>kinzig2021_18SV9_filtered.csv&nbsp; # microphytobenthos 18SV9 amplicon sequencing data</p> <p>kinzig_paper.csv # OMNIDIA output of diatom data from microscopy and diatom subset from 18SV9 amplicon sequencing (including 4 letters OMINIDIA taxa codes for diatoms)</p> <p>kinzig2021_benthotorch.csv # Photosynthetic biomass (BenthoTorch data)</p> <p>Kinzig2021_fieldData.csv # environmental data</p> <p>env_dataKinz2021.csv # environment dataset</p> <p>Kinzig2021_diatDM&amp;18S.R # Rscript used for analysis</p>

FIG. 2 in Does the removal of non-photosynthetic sections lead to a down-regulation of photosynthesis in mosses? A first experiment

FIG. 2. — Comparisons of the sample- (A-C) and mass- (D-F) based CO2 assimilation rates of green and brown moss sections, and the sum of these two sections (sample-based plots) and the changes through time for three moss species. Shown are the mean values ± standard errors (smaller than the symbol in some cases) of different sections determined at different time points, starting at a few minutes after separation. Sample-based plots are expressed as the CO2 exchange per sample to allow a direct comparison of intact and separated sections. Gray solid and dashed lines show the mean values of intact shoots (values shown to the right), ± standard errors. Asterisks indicate significant differences in assimilation rates between intact shoots and the sum of the separated sections (paired t-test, p&lt;0.05, n = 4). And the capital and lowercase letters indicate significant differences among time points (p&lt;0.05).

Data for: Triose phosphate utilization stress during photosynthesis addressed with dynamic assimilation measurements

<p>Oscillations in CO2 assimilation rate and associated fluorescence parameters have been observed alongside the triose phosphate utilization (TPU) limitation of photosynthesis for nearly 50 years. However, the mechanics of these oscillations are poorly understood. Here we utilize the recently developed Dynamic Assimilation Techniques (DAT) for measuring the rate of CO2 assimilation to increase our understanding of what physiological condition is required to cause oscillations. We found that TPU limiting conditions alone were insufficient, and that plants must enter TPU limitation quickly to cause oscillations. We found that ramps of CO2 caused oscillations proportional in strength to the speed of the ramp, and that ramps induce oscillations with worse outcomes than oscillations induced by step change of CO2 concentration. An initial overshoot is caused due to a temporary excess of available phosphate. During the overshoot, the plant out-performs steady state TPU and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate regeneration limitations of photosynthesis but cannot exceed the rubisco limitation. We performed additional optical measurements which support the role of photosystem I reduction and oscillations in availability of NADP+ and ATP in supporting oscillations.</p>

Towards a Diverse Next-Generation Energy Workforce: Teaching Artificial Photosynthesis and Electrochemistry in Elementary Schools through Active Learning

<p>Artificial photosynthesis is a promising approach to generate important commodity chemicals using abundant chemical feedstocks and renewable energy sources. Despite its importance, affordable and effective hands-on classroom activities that demonstrate artificial photosynthesis and teach key concepts, especially for primary school students, is lacking. This will be a critical step in the development of the next-generation energy workforce, especially one that is diverse in race and gender. To aid in this effort, we present an artificial photosynthesis lesson plan based on active-learning techniques that uses safe and highly accessible materials (baking soda, tap water, plastic jars, Ni coil, alligator clips, and a solar cell) to perform solar-powered water splitting. The efficacy of the lesson plan in teaching basic concepts of artificial photosynthesis was evaluated with pre- and post-test data, which shows a statistically significant improvement in overall student understanding. Importantly, the data show that the lesson plan presented here is effective at narrowing the performance gap between minority students and overly represented groups. This study aids in the development and education of a demographically diverse energy workforce through an active learning-based lesson plan for primary school students.</p>

Plant Photosynthesis: BioCON : Biodiversity, Elevated CO2, and N Enrichment

BioCON (Biodiversity, CO2, and Nitrogen) is an ecological experiment started in 1997 at the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. BioCON's goal is to explore the ways in which plant communities will respond to three environmental changes that are known to be occurring on a global scale: increasing nitrogen deposition, increasing atmospheric CO2, and decreasing biodiversity. Why Biodiversity, CO2, and Nitrogen? While there are many uncertainties in global change biology, there are also some well documented facts. Some of these are: 1. The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is rising. Since the industrial revolution, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased from approximately 275 parts per million (ppm) to about 378 ppm today. This has been largely the result of fossil fuel burning. It is expected that CO2 levels will continue to rise, and that by the year 2050 these levels will be approximately 550 ppm. CO2 is the raw material for photosynthesis and is known to affect plant growth and development. 2. The amount of nitrogen moving through terrestrial ecosystems has increased in the recent past. While natural "background" levels of nitrogen fixation have remained constant, human additions to the system through fertilizer production and fossil fuel use have increased dramatically. Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth and plays a critical role in plant community structure and composition in many environments. 3. Biodiversity levels are falling. While the research and data are not as complete as they are for CO2 and nitrogen, data indicate that the number of species globally, is being reduced. Perhaps more important for ecosystem function, diversity levels on local to regional scales have fallen due to land use change, biotic invasion and many other drivers. While much is known about how each of these factors affects ecosystem functioning, many questions remain. There is also little data on how these issues affe

Climate Change Across Seasons Experiment (CCASE) Sapling Study at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Photosynthesis

Rates of leaf-level photosynthesis of red maple and sugar maple saplings experiencing combinations of soil warming and winter freeze-thaw cycles was measured biweekly on fully expanded, intact leaves from June through August 2014 and June through September 2015 using a LI-6400. There were seven treatments for each species of maple. For each species, ten saplings experienced ambient temperatures (reference), ten experienced growing season warming with no induced freeze-thaw cycles in winter (warmed), ten in each of four groups experienced warming in the growing season coupled with two, four, six, or eight soil freeze-thaw cycles in winter (warmed + 2 FTC, warmed + 4 FTC, warmed + 6 FTC, warmed + 8 FTC), and ten experienced snow removal in winter with ambient temperatures in the growing-season (snow removal). These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
