Had a great time at #EMBS58 hosted by #Norduniversitet in Bodø, Norway! I presented our Hotfloor system and results from our @coastclim.bsky.social study how #MHWs affect biodiversity and ecosystem metabolism across a habitat gradient. Thanks for an inspiring conference and fruitful discussions.

🚨 NEW paper alert! #Seagrass #functional #traits act as predictors of #biomass, albeit moderately. Study conducted across 1500 km coastline. Main #biodiversity mechanism driving seagrass #biomass stock is through dominance. @tvarminne.bsky.social @uwaoceans.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...

🚨New paper out!🚨We show that #MarineHeatwaves amplify benthic metabolism and solute fluxes utilizing new developed #Hotfloor system-an in situ heating experiment. No major community shifts, but big functional changes! 🌊🔥 see here: doi.org/10.1111/1365... and the method here: doi.org/10.1002/lom3...

Summertime marine heatwaves (MHWs) in 2023/2024 were unprecedented and had wide-ranging biological, physical and societal impacts. Need to develop better response plans and adaptation/intervention approaches as MHWs intensify under climate change. New ms in Nat CC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New publication! Gammal et al. sampled benthic macrofauna, solute fluxes and environmental variables at 3 shallow habitats throughout one year. Results show that the strength of biodiversity-function relationships really depends on which species are present in which habitat and during which season.

Changing the perspective: So how extreme were the water temperatures this year? #extremetemp #marineheatwave Depends on the reference period! If you want to know more, read our latest publication: rdcu.be/cVTvn @JoannaNorkko @anorkko @Tvarminne @BioEnvHelsinki (twitter repost 07.10.2022)
