This capacity hinges on the behavior of DOC at elevated concentrations, a critical yet unresolved question that has produced mixed results due to narrow concentration ranges tested previously and limited molecular insights. This study addresses these gaps by investigating microbial degradation of DOC across a broad concentration range (2‐ to 55‐fold) in year‐long bioassay experiments using solid‐phase extracted DOC (SPE‐DOC) from 2000‐m‐deep waters. Specific SPE‐DOC compounds (combined amino acids) were analyzed to provide a molecular‐level understanding of DOC reactivity at varying concentrations. Our results show that microbial communities rapidly proliferated and became more uniform following SPE‐DOC amendments, with <jats:italic>Nitrosococcales</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Flavobacteriales</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Alteromonadales</jats:italic> dominating. Despite these shifts, microbial utilization of SPE‐DOC was constrained, exhibiting a nonlinear relationship with concentration, from < 3% in the control to a maximum of 9% in DOC‐enriched groups. Degradation was predominantly confined to the initial 28 d, with negligible additional removal (0–2%) thereafter. Compound‐specific analysis showed only moderate utilization (7–11%) of amino acid compounds within the first 3 d, indicating restricted microbial access even when these individual compounds were concentrated. These results indicate that a fraction of deep‐sea DOC molecules can persist for long at elevated concentrations. Our study demonstrates the ocean's substantial potential for DOC storage and suggests that modern ocean is capable of accommodating a larger DOC reservoir than is currently present.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143427160","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}

Despite the potential of such thresholds, few studies have explicitly addressed them. This gap is particularly notable for subtidal ecosystems due to technological challenges in detecting responses of organisms enduring constant submersion. This study focused on subtidal soft‐bottom mussel beds through the development of Biophys loggers for in situ monitoring of the fine‐scale behavior of mussel clusters under hydrodynamic disturbances and a statistical model based on an 11‐yr dataset to perform regional‐scale assessments of mussel bed stability. Multisite monitoring in the Dutch Wadden Sea revealed spatial heterogeneity in mussel bed mobility threshold (i.e., near‐bed orbital velocity inducing mussel movement), with predictable patterns along elevation gradients. Stability assessment in this region demonstrated that mussel beds in shallower areas (i.e., at higher bed elevations) exhibited higher stability than those in deeper areas, a difference that was attributed to the longer return interval of the mobility thresholds in shallow regions. These findings suggest that conditions such as bed elevation can modulate the stress tolerance of mussels and thereby influence the stability of subtidal soft‐bottom mussel beds. This study provides an approach for assessing mussel bed stability, which can also be extended to other comparable ecosystems, such as oyster reefs, to address their stability under climate change, thereby informing strategic management.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417972","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}

Marine biogeochemical processes regulating BrVSLs are often sensitive to ocean acidification. Yet, the response of BrVSLs production to acidification remains poorly understood. Herein, the effects of acidification on the production of two main BrVSLs, dibromomethane (CH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Br<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) and tribromomethane (CHBr<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>), were studied by ship‐based incubation experiments at three stations in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

The increased bromoperoxidase (BrPO) activity caused by acidification facilitated BrVSLs release in the Eastern Tropical Indian Ocean, where diatoms were dominant. CHBr<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> increased due to acidification as a result of enhanced reactivity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, where dinoflagellates were dominant. Brominated very short‐lived substances increased due to acidification as a result of a combined effect of the above two mechanisms in the Benguela Current Coastal with high phytoplankton abundance. Under the nutrient and/or iron addition conditions with nutrient and iron sufficiency, however, acidification did not promote BrVSLs production due to its only minor effect on the BrPO activity and reactivity of DOM, partly because the effect of increased oxidative stress was offset by that of changed phytoplankton composition. Our study provided a basis for future modeling on the impact of acidification on global BrVSLs emissions.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401277","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}

However, our understanding of disturbance-induced dieback and recovery processes in multi-specific marshes remains limited. This study utilized remote sensing data (2001–2021) to analyze a dieback event and subsequent recovery in the multi-specific San Felice marsh within the Venice lagoon, Italy. A significant dieback of <i>Spartina maritima</i> (<i>Spartina</i>) was identified in 2003, likely triggered by a drought event and heat stress. This resulted in a conversion of 4.6 ha of marsh predominantly colonized by <i>Spartina</i> (fractional cover of <i>Spartina</i> > 50%) in 2001 to bare soil in 2003. These bare areas were then gradually encroached by vegetation, indicating the occurrence of the recovery. Despite gradually gaining ground, <i>Spartina</i> only dominated 6.4 ha marshes in 2021, significantly lower than its pre-dieback area (21.3 ha). However, other species also encroached on the dieback area, such that the aboveground biomass returned to pre-dieback levels, indicating that the shift in marsh species composition that occurred as a consequence of the event compensated for this ecosystem service. Vegetation recovery, spanning from 1 yr to more than 18 yr, was found to be slowest in areas of lowest elevation. This study provides evidence that dieback and recovery can modify the species composition of multi-specific marshes over decades. These insights contribute to a better understanding of marsh resilience to drought and elevated temperature, both of which are likely to increase in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"70 3","pages":"792-805"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lno.12795","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143393043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
