GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON OBSERVING OCEAN BOUNDARY CURRENT SYSTEMS

Global Perspectives on Observing Ocean Boundary Current Systems

Ocean boundary current systems are key components of the climate system, are home to highly productive ecosystems, and have numerous societal Pedal Strap Pair impacts.Establishment of a global network of boundary current observing systems is a critical part of ongoing development of the Global Ocean Observing System.The characteristics of boundary

Long-term stocking practices threaten the original genetic diversity of the southernmost European populations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar

Many Atlantic salmon Salmo salar populations in Europe are threatened by previous stocking with foreign hatchery strains.Temporal patterns of genetic characteristics of salmon from northern Spain, the southernmost European populations, were compared before and after species decline and heavy stocking with specimens from northern Europe.Eleven micro

Confounding factors in algal phosphorus limitation experiments.

Assessing algal nutrient limitation is critical for understanding the interaction of primary production and nutrient cycling in streams, and nutrient diffusing substrate (NDS) experiments are often used to determine limiting nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).Unexpectedly, many experiments have also shown decreased algal biomass on N
