The recent discovery of a novel diatom-induced calcification pathway has attracted significant attention due to its implications for marine carbon, calcium, and silicon cycling. Despite its potential, the lack of a quantitative initiation threshold and comparative analysis with known calcifying organisms limit our ability to predict its ecological impact, particularly on carbon sequestration. This study addresses these gaps by cultivating the common diatom species, <em>Skeletonema costatum</em>, under simulated marine conditions to evaluate its CaCO<sub>3</sub> precipitation potential and define the biogeochemical threshold for calcification. The experimental results showed that <em>S. costatum</em> can induce calcification across a range of environmental conditions, including varying dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC 1837 to 2709 μmol·kg<sup>−1</sup>), nitrogen sources (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> or NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>), and cell densities (10<sup>4</sup> to 10<sup>5</sup> cells·mL<sup>−1</sup>). Calcification was initiated when the aragonite saturation state (Ω<sub>arag</sub>) exceeded ∼8. The calcification rate exhibits a linear correlation with Ω<sub>arag</sub> in the bulk solution, categorizing it as a “biologically induced” process. Our findings highlight similarities between the calcification mechanisms of <em>S. costatum</em> and other calcifying organisms, revealing the common ality of environmental drivers. This study advances our understanding of diatom-induced calcification, offering insights into its role in the marine carbon cycle and potential contributions to carbon sequestration strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18219,"journal":{"name":"Marine Chemistry","volume":"271 ","pages":"Article 104533"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apart from photochemical reactions, stratospheric intrusion (SI) also contributes to tropospheric O<sub>3</sub> pollution. In this study, a strong SI event that greatly influenced the near-surface O<sub>3</sub> pollution was identified in May 2023. To quantitatively analyze the contribution to surface O<sub>3</sub> over the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), meteorological reanalysis data, in situ observations, and a regional meteorology-chemistry coupled model were integrated. Our findings reveal that the severe O<sub>3</sub> pollution observed over the YRD region cannot be solely attributed to photochemical processes. Noteworthily, a distinct signal of stratospheric air masses injecting into the troposphere was observed, indicating a more complex interplay between atmospheric chemical and physical processes. The clustering analysis of the backward trajectories shows that the O<sub>3</sub>-rich air masses injected into the lower troposphere are primarily driven by westerly jets and downwelling behind the troughs accompanying the low-pressure weather system at 46°N–60°N. The stratospheric O<sub>3</sub>-rich air masses can be transported to the YRD region driven by the strong downwelling occurring with a high-altitude wind field toward the south. Using the regional meteorology-chemistry model Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) with real-time input of the upper chemical boundary conditions, it is estimated that such regionally transported SI O<sub>3</sub> contributed more than 12 ppb to surface O<sub>3</sub> pollution over the YRD region.</p>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"130 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study shows that DAV effectively captures cold air masses' origin and seasonal movement. During a cold wave, its phase relationship with air and soil temperatures falls into four categories: precedes (−1.1 to −0.6 days), lags (0.71–0.98 days), in between (−0.62 to 0.34 days), and synchronized. Moreover, DAV lags air temperature in 63% of cases and precedes soil temperature in 59%, consistently fluctuating within their overlap region.

However, the influence of these drivers on total and dissolved nutrient ratios remains understudied, especially in prairie ecosystems where hydrologic connectivity between soils and streams exhibits substantial spatial and seasonal variability. Here, we ask how hydrology and land cover drive patterns of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and N : P ratios across streams and rivers draining northern prairie ecosystems. To answer this, we compiled nutrient concentration data for tributaries of the Red River, Manitoba, Canada, to assess seasonal and annual variation in nutrient ratios, as well as the relationship between crop cover, discharge, and ratios, over 1‐yr, 10‐yr, and 30‐yr time spans. Total nitrogen : total phosphorus ratios were near the Redfield mass ratio (N/P = 7.23) across 24 streams in the Red River Valley. By comparison, dissolved inorganic nitrogen : total dissolved phosphorus ratios in these streams were N depleted and generally declined from spring through to autumn. The types of crops grown did not appear to be a consistent influence on nutrient ratios in streams throughout the region. In contrast, stream flows strongly influenced spring and summer nutrient ratios in four tributaries over a 30‐yr period. Specifically, increasing stream flow tended to decrease TN : TP and DIN : TDP in the two eastern tributaries but increase DIN : TDP in the western tributaries. Our findings that nutrient ratios in prairie streams are impacted by seasonality and fluctuating hydrologic conditions suggest that nutrient ratios in Red River tributaries may be impacted by future climate change.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
