Outdoor mesocosm study evaluating how mass, NaCl tolerance, and pesticide tolerance affect oxidative stress biomarkers (CAT, SOD, GR, GPx, TBARS) in larval wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) exposed to baseline and NaCl-contaminated conditions, 2019
Biomarkers of oxidative stress can aid in wildlife monitoring by allowing conservationists to detect sublethal environmental shifts. However, interpretation of stress responses can be complicated by multiple interacting factors (e.g., individual development, evolved physiological tolerance to stressors) which alter biomarker expression. Here, we investigated how individual ontogenetic traits and population-level tolerance traits influence oxidative stress responses under baseline and contaminated environmental conditions. For our model contaminant, we used NaCl (common freshwater contaminant due to factors such as coastal flooding, irrigation, airborne salt circulation, drought, runoff from road deicing salts). For our model wildlife populations, we used larval wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) from six noninteracting populations known to vary in two population-level tolerance traits: NaCl tolerance (calculated as average time to death from lethal NaCl exposure) and pesticide tolerance (determined by proxy of distance to agriculture - a consistent and highly repeatable relationship). At an outdoor research facility, R. sylvatica tadpoles were exposed to either baseline conditions (0 g/L NaCl added) or NaCl-contaminated conditions (1 g/L NaCl added for 21 days, then reduced to 0.5 g/L NaCl). Exposures were conducted in individual units with 40 replicates per population for each treatment. The experiment was terminated per individual to capture the full term of larval development (Developmental stage: Gosner stage 36), lasting between 33-48 days. For each individual, we measured mass, Snout-Vent-Length, and developmental stage before processing for biomarker expression. Individual homogenates were assayed for oxidative stress biomarkers superoxide dismutase (SOD; responsible for Reactive Oxygen Species capture and peroxide production), glutathione peroxidase (GPx; responsible for high-affinity peroxide reduction), catalase (CAT; responsible for low-affinity peroxide reducti
Solute dynamics in the hyporheic mesocosm in Watershed 1 at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, 2019-2020
We investigated biogeochemistry along a 12-m hyporheic mesocosm that allowed for controlled testing of seasonal and spatial water quality changes along a flowpath with fixed geometry and constant flow rate. Water quality profiles of oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen were measured at 1-m intervals along the mesocosm over multiple seasons. dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature profiles were monitored on 18 dates between May 2019 through August 2020. Grab samples to monitor profiles of carbon, nitrogen, and various other solutes along the mesocosm were collected in December 2019 and August 2020 to provide more comprehensive biogeochemical analyses at time points when the dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature profiles were at or near the maximum seasonal differences. Mesocosm monitoring ceased abruptly due to the Holiday Farm Fire, which burned from September through October 2020, cutting off personnel access and electrical power to the mesocosm facility.
Ant Mesocosm Experiment in Harvard Forest Lath Houses 2011-2012
Direct and indirect consequences of global warming on ecosystem functions and processes mediated by invertebrates remain understudied but are likely to have major impacts on ecosystems in the future. Among animals, invertebrates are taxonomically diverse, responsive to temperature changes, and play major ecological roles which also respond to temperature changes. We used a mesocosm experiment to evaluate impacts of two warming treatments (+3.5 and + 5 °C, set points) and the presence and absence of the ant Formica subsericea (a major mediator of processes in north-temperate ecosystems) on decomposition rate, soil movement, soil respiration, and nitrogen availability. Replicate 19-Litre mesocosms were placed outdoors in lath houses and continuously warmed for 30 days in 2011 and 85 days in 2012. Warming treatments mimicked expected temperature increases for future climates in eastern North America. In both years, the amount of soil displaced and soil respiration increased in the warming and ant presence treatments (soil movement: 73 to 119%; soil respiration: 37 to 48% relative to the control treatments without ants). Decomposition rate and nitrogen availability tended to decrease in the warmest treatments (decomposition rate: -26 to -30%; nitrate availability: -11 to -42%). Path analyses indicated that ants had significant short term direct and indirect effects on the studied ecosystem processes. These results suggest that ants may be moving more soil and building deeper nests to escape increasing temperatures, but warming may also influence their direct and indirect effects on soil ecosystem processes.
Impacts of microplastics on wetland ecosystem dynamics: a mesocosm study of trophic interactions and community responses, 2021-2025
This dataset documents a mesocosm experiment conducted to evaluate the ecological impacts of microplastics (MP) on wetland communities representative of eastern USA wetlands. The study focused on key organisms across trophic levels, including tadpoles (Lithobates pipiens), snails (Helisoma trivolvis), zooplankton (Daphnia pulex), phytoplankton, and periphyton communities, to assess the effects of three microplastic types (low-density polyethylene–LDPE, medium-density polystyrene–PS, and high-density polyester–PES) at two concentrations (1 mg/L and 5 mg/L), alongside a no-microplastic control. Experimental units consisted of 70 mesocosms (19-L buckets) with 10 replicates per treatment, established between July 1–15, 2021, at Binghamton University’s Ecological Research Facility. Response variables included survival and developmental traits (mass, snout-vent length, shell width) of tadpoles and snails, microplastic ingestion, zooplankton abundance, phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll and phycocyanin concentrations), and periphyton mass. The dataset provides comprehensive measurements of community responses and water quality parameters, offering insights into the ecological consequences of microplastic pollution in wetland ecosystems. This dataset is suitable for researchers studying ecotoxicology, wetland ecology, and the impacts of anthropogenic pollutants on aquatic food webs.
Processed Net N2 Flux and Nitrous Oxide Production Rates from a mesocosm experiment, North River, MA, 2022
The data documented here show nitrogen cycling rates (net N2 flux and net N2O flux) from a tidal, freshwater wetland under two stressors in isolation and in combination over two different disturbance regimes. We used intact core mesocosms to examine how nitrogen cycling changed in response to increased temperature and salinity under pulse and press disturbances. We found that net N2 flux rates, defined as the balance between nitrogen fixation and denitrification did not directionally change in response to stressor pulse or press. Instead, it became more variable under both disturbance regimes. Nitrous oxide production rates, however, decreased and became more stable over time in the press scenario, but remained highly variable in the pulse scenario. These findings provide valuable knowledge on the functional potential of the nitrogen cycling microbial communities in tidal, freshwater wetlands when facing future climate variability.
LTREB experimental chironomid mesocosms at Myvatn, Iceland
During the summer of 2014, we conducted experiments testing whether increasing numbers of chironomid larvae would increase primary production and standing chlorophyll a concentrations. We incubated experimental mesocosms with varying numbers of chironomid larvae for 12 days in July. We tested sediments for chlorophyll a concentrations, as sediments are primarily composed of benthic diatoms. We tested the oxygen production in these mesocosms. We did this by sealing the mesocosms and incubating them in Lake Myvatn for 3 hours, and taking measurements of dissolved oxygen before and after the incubations. We were also interested in whether this increase in food resources might translate to increased growth rates of chironomid larvae at high larval densities. After stocking experimental mesocosms with varying numbers of chironomid larvae, we set these mesocosms in Lake Myvatn for 12 days. We collected the larvae at the end of the 12 day experiment and obtained the average dry weights of the Chironomus islandicus larvae in each mesocosm. We hypothesized that the tubes that chironomid larvae build would be a superior substrate for algal growth, as compared to loose sediments. Because there are two taxa (Chironomus islandicus and Tanytarsus gracilentus) that are overwhelmingly dominant at our study site, we wondered whether there would be differences in this effect between the two species. We stocked mesocosms with larvae from one of the two species, and mesocosms were then incubated in Lake Myvatn. We collected sediments and larval tubes from each mesocosm and tested their chlorophyll a concentrations. We hypothesized that one mechanism that chironomid larvae might alleviate algal nutrient limitation by depositing concentrated nutrients near algae in the form of larval excretions. We collected chironomid larvae from Lake Myvatn and placed them in distilled water. We then sieved out the larvae and their fecal passings, and transported the water samples to Madison, WI, USA,
Snail Consumption of Marsh Grasses in Mesocosms, 2018 and 2020
This experiment evaluated the effects of resource availability via nutrient addition and snail herbivory on the plant traits of Spartina alterniflora. Marsh periwinkles (Littoraria irrorata) and smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) were collected from Cushman's Landing marsh on the Eastern Shore in the summer of 2018 and set up in mesocosm tanks at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester Point, VA. There were four treatments: nutrient addition only, herbivory only, nutrient addition plus herbivory, and a control. At the end of the experiment, plants were analyzed for a series of plant traits. Dried and ground plant tissues were then resuspended in agar and a feeding assay was conducted in the summer of 2020 to evaluate how treatments influenced subsequent snail grazing. Six types of data were collected: 1) Feeding Assay Snail Morphometrics, 2) Final Plant Measurements, 3) Initial Plant Measurements, 4) Mesocosm Snail Morphometrics, 5) Plant Traits and 6) Snail Consumption.
Nutrient amendment effects on phytoplankton, water chemistry, and cyanotoxins in the 2018 Large-Scale Mesocosm Experiment at the University of Kansas Field Station
This dataset includes water physicochemical parameters, phytoplankton community composition, and cyanobacteria metabolites collected during a 21-day nutrient amendment experiment conducted from 23 July to 13 August 2018 at the University of Kansas Biological Station, Lawrence, KS, United States (39.049674°N, 95.190777°W). The experiment was performed using 18 large-scale, closed-bottom fiberglass tanks (volume: 11,000 L; height: 1.25 m; diameter: 3 m). Three tanks served as ambient controls (CON), while the others received one of the following nutrient treatments: nitrogen only (280 µM) as either ammonium chloride (NH4) or sodium nitrate (NO3); nitrogen (280 µM) plus phosphorus (200 µM) as either ammonium chloride + dipotassium phosphate (NHP) or sodium nitrate + dipotassium phosphate (NOP); and phosphorus only (200 µM) as dipotassium phosphate (P). Each tank received an initial nutrient dose on Day 0.5, followed by weekly additions of 20% of the initial amendment to maintain treatment conditions. All data were quality controlled to correct basic errors and to remove measurements outside the manufacturer’s standard operational ranges.
The dataset and model code pertinent to the Everglades Peat Elevation Model (EvPEM): The salinity and inundation mesocosm experiment in freshwater and brackish water sawgrass wetlands in Florida Coastal Everglades (2015-2017).
This is an assembled data and Everglades Peat Elevation Model (EvPEMv1.0) Stella code used to estimate and simulate net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) and peat elevation change in response to saltwater intrusion and level of inundations. Data from several studies were combined for the estimation of NECB, model parameterization, and calibration (Wilson, 2018; Wilson et al., 2018, 2019; Charles et al., 2019; Servais et al., 2020). The reported data includes aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), belowground net primary productivity (BNPP), peat elevation change, and decomposition rates that were collected from outdoor laboratory mesocosm experiments conducted at the Florida Bay Interagency Science Center in Key Largo, Florida during 2015-17. The plant-soil monoliths were obtained from a freshwater peat and a brackish water peat marsh located within the Florida Coastal Everglades and transported to the Key Largo facility for the experimental manipulations. In experiments focused on the brackish water marsh, three experiments were carried out reflecting the combined effect of salinity, inundation, and peat exposure to air. The brackish water experiments characterized submerged (SUB), exposed (EXP), and extended depth of exposure of peat surface (EXTEXP) conditions, as we varied water depth relative to the peat surface. Each experiment was subjected to two salinity manipulations: (1) ambient (~10 ppt) porewater salinity (AMB) and (2) elevated (~20 ppt) salinity (SALT). The experimental design included six (2 X 3) treatments: (1) submerged ambient salinity (AMB.SUB), (2) submerged elevated salinity (SALT.SUB.), (3) exposed ambient salinity (AMB.EXP), (4) exposed elevated salinity (SALT.EXP), (5) exposed with extended exposure/dry-down ambient salinity (AMB.EXTEXP), and (6) exposed with extended exposure/dry-down elevated salinity (SALT.EXTEXP). The water level was kept 4 cm above the peat surface for the brackish water SUB treatments. Exposure for the EXP treatment
Mesocosm experiment on fresh marsh plant community responses to salinity pulses in 2014 and 2015
We established mesocosm communities using seven freshwater species (Zizaniopsis miliacea, Pontederia cordata, Persicaria hydropiperoides, Peltandra virginica, Ludwigia peploides, Sagittaria lancifolia and Eleocharis palustris) collected in the same freshwater marsh (31°20’16”N, 81°27’52”W) between Apr 19th and Apr 22nd, 2014, and the sediments were collected from a freshwater pond (31°23'54"N, 81°16'47"W) on Sapelo Island, GA at the same time. Our experimental unit was a plastic round swimming pool (h = 18 cm, r = 122 cm) filled to the top with homogenized sediments. Each unit consisted of 2 individuals of Zizaniopsis, Pontederia, Peltandra and Sagittaria, 5 – 8 Persicaria and Ludwigia separately. Eleocharis was mixed up with other species, so there were uneven numbers in each unit. From May 22 to August 19, 2014, the mesocosm communities were treated with three salinity levels (3, 5, and 10 psu: practical salinity units) and five exposure durations (5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 days per month), relative to a freshwater control (n=3 per treatment combination). Except for 30 days treatment which equals saline press treatment, plants were watered with daily freshwater after treated with saline water for 5, 10, 15 and 20 days. Different salinities were achieved by mixing tap water with sea water. We simulated tides during the treatment, by watering the plants every morning and then pumping out the excess water through a 6-in (15 cm) slotted well (constructed of PVC pipe) in the afternoon. From August 20, 2014 to June 30, 2015, all mesocosm communities were flushed with fresh tap water to recover.
Abrupt and Gradual Salt Application Mesocosm Experiment Zooplankton, Phytoplankton, Periphyton and Abiotic Data, Troy, NY, 2018.
Increasing chloride concentrations from road salt applications are an emerging threat to freshwater diversity in cold weather regions. Few studies have focused on how road salt affects freshwater biota and even fewer have focused on how the rate of exposure alters organism responses. We hypothesized that road salt concentrations delivered gradually would result in slower population declines and more rapid rebounds due to evolved tolerance. To test this hypothesis, we examined the responses of freshwater lake organisms to four environmentally relevant salt concentrations (100, 230, 860, and 1600 mg Cl−/L) that differed in application rate (abrupt vs. gradual). We used outdoor aquatic mesocosms containing zooplankton, filamentous algae, phytoplankton, periphyton, and macroinvertebrates. We found negative effects of road salt on zooplankton and macroinvertebrate abundance, but positive effects on phytoplankton and periphyton, likely resulting from reduced grazing. Only rarely did we detect a difference between abrupt vs gradual salt applications and the directions of those differences were not consistent. This affirms the need for additional research on how road salt pollution entering ecosystems at different frequencies and magnitudes will alter freshwater communities.
Nutrient Inputs in Mesocosms of an Oligotrophic Lake Fail to Sustain an Algal Bloom, Lake George, NY, 2019
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems, and their frequency in oligotrophic lakes—previously thought resistant to such blooms due to their low nutrient levels—has been increasing. This challenges the traditional view that nutrient loading, a major driver of HABs, is less relevant in low-nutrient systems. To investigate whether nutrient enrichment plays a role in HAB development in oligotrophic lakes, we used in-lake mesocosms to assess the effects of varying nitrogen and phosphorus levels on pelagic communities over a 4-week period. The experiment utilized 20 mesocosms (~2,000 L each), with varying phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) concentrations, all maintaining a 30:1 N:P ratio, representing ten distinct nutrient levels (235:8 µg/L [control], 600:20 µg/L, 1200:40 µg/L, 1800:60 µg/L, 2400:80 µg/L, 3000:100 µg/L, 3600:120 µg/L, 4200:140 µg/L, 4800:160 µg/L, and 5400:180 µg/L). Nutrients were added twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) to sustain the concentrations, with two replicates for each of the ten treatments, totaling 20 experimental units. Water samples were collected to assess water chemistry at two points during the experiment (days 12 and 26). The water chemistry variables measured included total phosphorus (TP), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), total nitrogen (TN), nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and chlorophyll a. Phytoplankton abundance and abiotic conditions (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, and turbidity) were monitored on days 5, 7, 10, 13, 17, 19, 21. Grab samples were also collected on day 12 and 26 to identify phytoplankton species/abundance and zooplankton abundance. In this experiment, nutrient additions enhanced the fluorescence of chlorophyll a (indicative of total phytoplankton) and phycocyanin (a proxy for cyanobacteria), these increases plateaued at low nutrient levels and were transient. Phytoplankton species identification and enumeration revealed no significant changes
Mangrove soil phosphorus addition experiment from June 2013 to August 2013 at the mangrove peat soil mesocosms (FCE), Key Largo, Florida - Nutrients in Porewater, Soil and Roots
Sea levels in South Florida are conservatively predicted to rise by 0.60 m by 2060. The key mechanisms that maintain coastal peatland elevation against increasing sea level are organic matter accumulation via plant production and mineral sedimentation rates (Smoak et al. 2013). Although coastal mangrove soils are regularly inundated with seawater, little is know about the drivers of carbon sequestration (above or below ground) versus atmospheric efflux under different conditions of salinity and elevated phosphorus (P) associated with sea-level rise and storm surge. A recent study using mangrove peat soils found that seawater inundation reduced soil carbon efflux losses and salinity concentration had little effect on carbon retention or loss pathways. The next logical steps are to understand how plant-soil interactions affect above and below ground carbon processes, as well as how increases in P associated with storm surge from the Gulf of Mexico will influence physical, chemical and biological components of mangrove soils that are associated with above and belowground carbon processes. We will manipulate P in inundated peat soil mesocosms with disturbed and undisturbed red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) seedlings to identify some of the fundamental mechanisms of soil elevation and carbon cycling given expected increases in seawater-based P availability in South Florida coastal mangroves.

Manipulating the hydroperiod affects plant and invertebrate communities in freshwater mesocosms, La Marque TX USA, 2019-2021
We used a mesocosm experiment with six flooding depths and seven drought durations, followed by seven months of recovery, to explore how freshwater wetlands typical of the Houston, Texas area would respond to different hydrological regimes that might occur if wetlands were drained in anticipation of a heavy rain that did not materialize, leading to a temporary period of little or no standing water. The experiment was conducted in 2019-2021. How quickly mesocosms dried out was a function of initial water depth, with mesocosms initially set with greater water depths (30 cm) taking on average 38 days to dry out. Individual plant species (14 were planted; 8 were common at the end of the recovery period) were affected drought length, flooding depth, or their interaction, with results varying among species. The composition of the plant community at the end of the drought period was strongly affected by drought length, and this effect persisted through seven months of recovery, with the 80- and 160-day drought treatments diverging most strongly from shorter drought treatments. Densities of mosquito larvae, snails and tadpoles were temporally variable, and affected more during the treatment period than after seven months of recovery. Our results indicate that managed wetlands in southeast Texas would be quite resilient to dry periods of up to 40 days in duration, especially if water was not completely drained at the beginning of the drought. In addition, some wetland species would persist in managed wetlands even if they experienced droughts of up to 160 days.
