Experimental evidence on the impact of climate-induced hydrological and thermal variations on glacier-fed stream biofilms.
Climate change is predicted to alter the hydrological and thermal regimes of high-mountain streams, particularly glacier-fed streams. However, relatively little is known about how these environmental changes impact the microbial communities in glacier-fed streams. Here, we operated streamside flume mesocosms in the Swiss Alps, where benthic biofilms were grown under treatments simulating climate change. Treatments comprised four flow (natural, intermittent, stochastic, and constant) and two temperature (ambient streamwater and warming of +2 °C) regimes. We monitored microbial biomass, diversity, community composition, and metabolic diversity in biofilms over three months. We found that community composition was largely influenced by successional dynamics independent of the treatments. While stochastic and constant flow regimes did not significantly affect community composition, droughts altered their composition in the intermittent regime, favouring drought-adapted bacteria and decreasing algal biomass. Concomitantly, warming decreased algal biomass and the abundance of some typical glacier-fed stream bacteria and eukaryotes, and stimulated heterotrophic metabolism overall. Our study provides experimental evidence toward potential and hitherto poorly considered impacts of climate change on benthic biofilms in glacier-fed streams.
期刊介绍:
FEMS Microbiology Ecology aims to ensure efficient publication of high-quality papers that are original and provide a significant contribution to the understanding of microbial ecology. The journal contains Research Articles and MiniReviews on fundamental aspects of the ecology of microorganisms in natural soil, aquatic and atmospheric habitats, including extreme environments, and in artificial or managed environments. Research papers on pure cultures and in the areas of plant pathology and medical, food or veterinary microbiology will be published where they provide valuable generic information on microbial ecology. Papers can deal with culturable and non-culturable forms of any type of microorganism: bacteria, archaea, filamentous fungi, yeasts, protozoa, cyanobacteria, algae or viruses. In addition, the journal will publish Perspectives, Current Opinion and Controversy Articles, Commentaries and Letters to the Editor on topical issues in microbial ecology.
