Great weather for fieldwork this week with @mgenner.bsky.social and two of our PhD students this week: @mattmccormack1.bsky.social on our @ercrefresh.bsky.social programme, and Francesca Southon on our @bristolwater.bsky.social WINEP project investigating nutrient pollution in Blagdon Lake SSSI. 🧪

Matt and Penny collecting water samples at the 48 hr time point, for extraction to determine the bacterioplankton community composition, and the rate of 13C15N uptake of DOM compounds as a nutrient resource.

The ERC REFRESH team (Martin Genner, Gavin Gouws, Penny Johnes) supporting Matt with the set-up of his third isotope dosing experiment, this time on a tributary of the River Barle on Exmoor.

The Bristol Water project team, comprising Profs Penny Johnes (not shown) and Martin Genner, together with Dr Zisen Liu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute for Hydrobiology in Wuhan (Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Bristol) supporting Francesca with the first plant survey of Blagdon Lake SSSI.

Francesca with a plant sample. A diverse community was mapped, but in most locations was dominated by Stuckenia pectinata (syn. Potamogeton pectinatus), Ceratophyllum demersum, Elodea nuttallii, and a range of charophytes including C. Hispida, C. vulgaris and also Nitella obtusa.
