While previous research has documented how nitrogen (N) loading and sea‐level rise affect total C pools individually, their impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization remain critically underexplored, particularly when these factors co‐occur in tidal marsh ecosystems. Through a 3‐yr field experiment, we analyzed how these factors, alone and combined, impact SOC stabilization by examining SOC fraction dynamics. Results showed that N loading increased particulate organic carbon (POC) by 18% and decreased mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) by 13%, reducing SOC stabilization. Conversely, increased inundation raised MAOC by 31% and decreased POC by 19%, promoting SOC stabilization. The decreased MAOC under N loading stemmed from reduced fungal necromass C, while the increased POC related to lower phenol oxidase activity. In contrast, with increased inundation, MAOC rose due to iron‐bound organic C (Fe‐OC) accumulation, while POC declined from increased phenol oxidase activity. When both factors were applied together, SOC stabilization remained at control levels. This occurred because the combined effect maintained oxidative enzyme activities and thus retained POC levels. The simultaneous reduction in fungal necromass C and enhancement of Fe‐OC associations established complementary mechanisms that maintained MAOC at levels equivalent to control. Our findings reveal that N loading and increased inundation drive contrasting patterns of SOC stabilization, while their combination produces uniquely stabilized C dynamics. This insight challenges single‐factor predictions and underscores the importance of multi‐factor experiments in understanding ecosystem responses under concurrent global change scenarios.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278315","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}

River connectivity to lateral environments is crucial for organic matter cycling and the life cycles of diapausing microinvertebrates. While extreme hydraulic periods (floods and cease‐flow) are well‐studied, the impact of small to medium flows on riverine carbon flux is less understood. We conducted a mesocosm study to examine litter, nutrient, and zooplankton contributions from different bank heights in the Mehi River, Australia. Sediment from three bank heights (lower, lower + middle, and lower + middle + upper) was added to 1000 L mesocosms. Upper bank heights had more organic matter, leaf litter, and live plant coverage. Sediment from upper and middle banks increased organic carbon and phosphorus concentrations. Zooplankton abundance was higher in treatments with upper bank sediment compared to lower bank sediment. Zooplankton communities varied, with rotifer taxa including <jats:italic>Keratella valga</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Filinia passa</jats:italic> in upper bank treatments. We estimated zooplankton biomass contributions under current regulated hydrology and compared them to a predevelopment scenario without water extraction. Regulation has reduced zooplankton input from banks by about 8.8%. Inundating higher banks increases carbon and microinvertebrate availability for food webs compared to only inundating lower sections. These findings inform effective flow management strategies and highlight how targeted environmental water use can enhance lowland river ecosystem productivity.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278408","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}

Parasites of consumers may respond to complex feedbacks between consumers and their resources via shifts in both within‐ and between‐host processes. We investigated these effects by allowing well‐studied host–parasite (<jats:italic>Daphnia</jats:italic>‐microsporidian) and consumer–resource (<jats:italic>Daphnia</jats:italic>‐algae) systems to respond to phosphorus (P) manipulation in mesocosms. We quantified consumer–resource dynamics by measuring the effects of our P additions on algal %P and algal and host density at regular intervals. After 60 d, we measured total parasite population size, infection prevalence, and individual parasite load. Because our microsporidian parasite transmits via multiple routes and achieves higher loads in vertical (from mothers to offspring) than horizontal (via ingestion of spores) infections, we could indirectly assess the effect of nutrient additions on the number of new horizontally transmitted infections, and, by proxy, qualitatively evaluate nutrient effects on within‐host processes relative to those on between‐host processes (i.e., horizontal transmission). We found positive associations of total parasite population size, prevalence, and parasite load with algal %P. In addition, parasite load was negatively associated with algal density. We could not detect a relationship between any of the parasite responses and host density. Our experiment shows how nutrient additions can enhance parasite prevalence in ways that may not be directly mediated by host density and that within‐host processes can play a critical role in shaping the responses of entire parasite populations to nutrient additions.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278409","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}

Identifying signs of these pressures before the critical transition remains challenging, and it could be useful to anticipate the regime shift. In this research, while exploiting the case of a lacustrine ecosystem, which passed from an unvegetated, phytoplankton‐dominated state to a macrophyte‐dominated regime, we analyzed the role of warming as a slow driver when far from the regime shift. To this end, we combined the analysis of the time series of the driver of pressure and of the response variables with the qualitative analysis of the lake community food web structure. Predictions obtained about the response of plankton populations to simulated press perturbations due to warming were consistent with observed variation in their levels of abundance, confirming that warming was a slow driver and unveiling the mechanistic basis of its effects. This case study suggests a novel approach to interpret early changes in ecosystems subjected to slow drivers of pressure, extending the toolkit beyond the analysis of statistical signature and manipulative experiments. Climatic variations gradually alter the external conditions that ecosystems face, and the approach presented here could help monitor their responses to climate change.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144259986","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}

Here, we investigated how the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic α and β diversity of aquatic insects respond to a gradient of cumulative human disturbances in a large subtropical river network. We then evaluated the impacts of individual stressors measured at local, riparian, and catchment scales on these multifaceted diversity dimensions. Finally, we used a null model approach to test how human impacts modulate the relative role of ecological drift, selection, and dispersal in community organization. Human impacts differentially affected α diversity measures, with species richness and mean pairwise distance indices (MPD) decreasing, while mean nearest‐taxon distance indices (MNTD) increased from near‐pristine to highly impacted sites. Human impacts were also associated with increased β diversity, leading to biotic differentiation. Catchment land uses overrode the effects of riparian and local instream stressors in regulating insect diversity. The assembly of insect communities was primarily driven by ecological drift, with heterogeneous selection playing a secondary role. Human impacts mediated the balance between deterministic and stochastic processes by disrupting species interactions and promoting ecological drift. Our study demonstrates that the role of ecological drift in community assembly should not be overlooked, especially given that many biological communities are shrinking in size due to escalating environmental pressures during the Anthropocene.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144252209","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}

While spectral niche partitioning and functional redundancy are important concepts, our understanding of how light spectrum changes affect phytoplankton communities is limited. To understand how phytoplankton respond to changes in spectral light availability, we studied the effects of light quality on species growth, community composition, and biomass production. In a controlled laboratory experiment, we assembled up to 7 phytoplankton species into 13 communities with 5 different initial species richness levels. Communities were exposed to three light quality treatments simulating the red light reduction across water depths (full spectrum, reduced red proportion, and no red). Community biomass was positively influenced by the initial number of species, and this was most pronounced if red light was reduced (shown by a significant interactive effect of light conditions and initial species richness). The growth rate responses were highly species specific, and among the species tested, only <jats:italic>Chlamydomonas</jats:italic> showed increased growth rates with higher blue light levels, while most others exhibited negative trends.

Specimens were collected from lakes with a wide natural range of macro‐ (C, N, P) and micronutrient (Fe, Cu, Zn) concentration in both water and sediments.

The C : N : P ratios in organs were not affected by eutrophication. Instead, all macro‐ and micronutrient concentrations differed between plant organs.

Furthermore, sediments significantly influenced the plant organs' C, P, and Zn concentration, while nutrients in the water column showed no correlation. Leaves demonstrated flexibility in C and Zn concentrations, negatively correlating with sediment levels of these elements. The concentration of micronutrients was highest in the roots. Our results indicate distinct nutrient allocation strategies for different plant organs: leaves are rich in N to support photosynthesis, stems store C and P, aiding growth and reproduction, and roots accumulate micronutrients Fe, Zn, and Cu.
