Integrating ecosystem metabolism and consumer allochthony reveals nonlinear drivers in lake organic matter processing
<p>Lakes process both terrestrial and aquatic organic matter, and the relative contribution from each source is often measured via ecosystem metabolism and terrestrial resource use in the food web (i.e., consumer allochthony). Yet, ecosystem metabolism and consumer allochthony are rarely considered together, despite possible interactions and potential for them to respond to the same lake characteristics. In this study, we compiled global datasets of lake gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and zooplankton allochthony to compare the strength and shape of relationships with physicochemical characteristics across a broad set of lakes. GPP was positively related to total phosphorus (TP) in lakes with intermediate TP concentrations (11 - 75 μg L<sup>-1</sup>) and was highest in lakes with intermediate dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. While ER and GPP were strongly positively correlated, decoupling occurred at high DOC concentrations. Lastly, allochthony had a unimodal relationship with TP and related variably to DOC. By integrating metabolism and allochthony, we identified similar change points in GPP and zooplankton allochthony at intermediate DOC (4.5 - 10 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) and TP (8 - 20 μg L<sup>-1</sup>) concentrations, indicating that allochthony and GPP may be coupled and inversely related. The ratio of DOC : nutrients also helped to identify conditions where lake organic matter processing responded more to autochthonous or allochthonous organic matter sources. As lakes globally face eutrophication and browning, predicting how lake organic matter processing will respond requires an updated paradigm that incorporates nonlinear dynamics and interactions.</p>
Dynamic Vegetation Model Dynamic Organic Soil Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (DVM-DOS-TEM) simulations focused on Eight Mile Lake, Alaska and Imnavait Creek, Alaska [2000-2015]
<p>This set of files store model simulations using the biosphere model Dynamic Vegetation Model Dynamic Organic Soil Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (DVM-DOS-TEM), developed to simulate biophysical and biogeochemical interactions between the soil, vegetation and atmosphere. To improve predictions of net carbon releases from thawing permafrost, we tested the sensitivity of a suite of model parameters. We analyzed the responses of ecosystem carbon balances to permafrost thaw by running site-level simulations at two long-term tundra ecological monitoring sites in Alaska: Eight Mile Lake (EML) and Imnavait Creek watershed (IMN). These sites are characterized by similar tussock tundra vegetation but differing soil drainage conditions and climate, IMN consists of well-drained soils, and EML has historically well-drained soils, however permafrost thaw has altered drainage conditions to wetter soils. Simulations were conducted at a 1km resolution, over a 1,000 km2 area (10x10 km square) centered on two long term ecological research sites in Alaska: Eight Mile Lake located in Interior Alaska (63.8900° N, 149.2535° W), and Imnavait creek watershed located on the northern foothills of the Brooks range (68°37′ N, 149°18′ W).</p> <p>Historical simulations are spanning the 2000 to 2015, and forced using climate simulations from the Climate Research Unit, time series 4.0. We ran 1,000 site level simulations for each model variable. The variables that are produced are gross primary productivity (GPP, in gC.m-2.m-1), net ecosystem exchange (NEE, gC.m-2.m-1), ecosystem respiration (RECO, gC/m2/m-1), active layer thickness (ALT, m), soil temperature (TLAYER,°C) at 5, 10, 40 cm depths, soil moisture (LWCLAYER, m-3/m-3) at 5, 10 cm depths, and snow depth (SNOWDEPTH, m), evapotransipiration(EET, mm/m2/time), potential evapotransipiration (PET, mm/m2/time), leaf area index (LAI, m2/m2), organic layer thickness (OLT, m). The data are stored as compiled csv files, with time as the index, and each model sample output stored in the columns. In addition, there is a postprocessing python script to demonstrate the step and workflow used to generate the individual csv files post processed from the raw model outputs stored as netcdfs.</p>
Data from: Decoding the drivers of deep-time wetland biodiversity: insights from an early Permian tropical lake ecosystem
<p><span>Wetlands are important to continental evolution, providing both the arenas and refugia for emerging and declining biotas, respectively. </span><span>Based on this significance and the high preservation potential, the resulting fossiliferous deposits play a key role in understanding past and future biodiversity. We reconstruct the trophic structure and age of the early Permian Manebach-Lake ecosystem, Germany, thriving in a wetland when the tropical biosphere faced profound upheaval in the peaking Late Palaeozoic Icehouse. Nine excavations, the high-resolution, spatiotemporal documentation of fossils and sediments, and the U-Pb radioisotopic dating of tuffs allow us to distinguish autogenic and allogenic factors that shaped the limnic biocoenosis. The Manebach Lake was an exorheic, stratified, perennial water body in the 10<sup>1</sup>–10<sup>2</sup> km<sup>2</sup> scale, integrated into the catchment draining much of the European Variscides. Lake formation paralleled an Asselian regional wet climatic interval and benefited from rising groundwater tables due to post-Variscan tectonics. Stromatolite-forming cyanobacteria, bivalves, several crustacean groups, amblypterids resembling <em>Paramblypterus duvernoyi</em> and xenacanthid sharks formed a differentiated biocoenosis. Digestive remains prove the rare presence of acanthodians, branchiosaurs, and large tetrapods. Anoxic events affected the mainly epilimnal community. The results indicate woody-debris-bearing lake littorals devoid of semi-aquatic and aquatic plants as places suitable for large stromatolites to grow, underpin the model of declining freshwater shark diversity in most Permian Variscan basins, demonstrate fish/amphibian ratios in limnic taphocoenoses to measure lake perenniality and reveal taphonomic biases in freshwater plant assemblages. Our outcomes highlight the need for more knowledge about the diversity, ecology, and fossilisation pathways of past limnic biotas, particularly microorganisms and actinopterygian fishes, to reconstruct deep-time continental ecosystems. </span></p>
Arctic warming drives striking 21st century ecosystem shifts in Great Slave Lake (Subarctic Canada), North America's deepest lake
<p>Great Slave Lake, one of the world's largest and North America's deepest lake, has undergone an aquatic ecosystem transformation in response to 21st-century accelerated Arctic warming that is unparalleled in at least the past two centuries. Algal remains from a series of high-resolution palaeolimnological records retrieved from the West Basin provide baseline limnological data that we compared to historical limnological and phycological surveys undertaken on Great Slave Lake between the 1940s and 1990s. We document the rapid restructuring of algal community composition ca. 2000 CE that is consistent with recent increases in regional air temperature, as well as declines in ice cover and wind speed, that would collectively alter habitats for aquatic biota (e.g. thermal regime, vertical mixing, turbidity, light and nutrients). This new limnological regime initiated the first observation of scaled chrysophytes and favoured the rapid proliferation of small planktonic cyclotelloid diatoms that replaced the long-established dominance of large filamentous <em>Aulacoseira islandica</em> in West Basin sedimentary assemblages. Such rapid transformations in the primary producers of this socio-ecologically valuable "northern Great Lake" may have widespread implications for the entire food web with unknown consequences for aquatic ecosystem functioning and fisheries, which many northern and Indigenous communities depend upon.</p>
