Preparing the aquatic vegetation lab with Littorella uniflora from softwater Hampen Sø. By growing plants under inverted light cycles, students can explore CAM photosynthesis and temporal niche partitioning in carbon‑limited freshwater systems. 🌱 #FreshwaterEcology #AquaticPlants #CAMPhotosynthesis

🌊 Bubbles matter! 💨 This new paper wraps up Jonas Stage Sø’s PhD work and brings new insights into methane emissions from lakes. The conclusion is that ebullition from lakes often dwarfs diffusive flux — especially at higher temperatures. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #methane #Ebullition
