🚨THESIS🚨
An analysis of published data exploring the effects of high pH on #phytoplankton growth rate & experimental assessment of pH dependence of viability & growth rate was used in a "lately published thesis" to assess potential impacts of #OceanAlkalinityEnhancement.

📉 The results from this study suggest that there will be no significant impact on the viability or growth rates of Thalassiosira pseudonana or Pavlova lutheri with short-term (10-minute) exposure to elevated #pH.

However, when long-term (days) exposure occurs there is a significant decrease in growth rates with high pH. Short-term exposure is predicted to more closely mirror the natural systems in which #OAE will be implemented because of system flushing & replenishment of nutrients.

1. Mondays 🧵 is about long term monitoring.
How many people have a wall like this in their house? It’s the basic principle of long term monitoring: measure the same thing, the same way, in the same place, over many years (until your kids have flown the nest 😢) 🪺🪹

2. Long term monitoring and data collection leads to LTER – Long Term Ecological Research, where we use these data to understand natural variability, but also the complex interactions between people and nature over many years 📈📉📊🌳#LTER @eLTER_Europe @ILTER_network
3. In Burrishoole, data collection started in 1955 with counting fish: how many migratory (diadromous) fish were moving between freshwater (Lough Feeagh– top of photo) and the sea (Lough Furnace – bottom of photo) ??????

Models project that #ocean #phytoplankton will become increasingly starved of #nitrogen as #climatechange progresses.
If realised, this has implications for #fisheries.
But how can we monitor this change in the real ocean?
Nitrogen isotopes!

What are nitrogen (N) isotopes?
There is a heavy isotope (15-N) and a light isotope (14-N).
Some processes prefer to use 14-N more than 15-N. When phytoplankton use nitrogen, they prefer 14-N.
This increases the ratio of 15-N to 14-N in seawater.

This increases the ratio of 15-N to 14-N in seawater.
But when N is scarce, phytoplankton have less preference.
Like if there was only one kind of pizza at a party, you don't have the option of being picky (you have to have the pineapple).
In this case, phytoplankton no longer increase the ratio of 15-N to 14-N in seawater.

@DrBiden @FLOTUS, your presence at the opening of #TokyoOlympics on July 23 will be greatly appreciated. Pls take the opportunity to talk to PM Yoshihide Suga about the ongoing slaughter of more than a thousand #dolphins in #Taiji, Japan every year.

Hi! For a special post during #LatinoConservationWeek I'm briefly taking over the SERCinvasions account to share my story! I am Brenda María Soler Figueroa and I'm a #phytoplankton ecologist and invasive species researcher here on the invasions team.
I got my PhD in Puerto Rico @uprm researching the population dynamics of dinoflagellates in the Bioluminescent Systems . I also worked as a Marine Educator at @SeaGrantPR #LatinxInStem
I also enjoy dancing Bomba and playing the Bomba drum (traditional music from Puerto Rico), and I have a cat. Thanks for letting me introduce myself! Happy #LatinoConservationWeek!

#Phytoplankton removes #CO2 from the #atmosphere & produces part of the #O2 we breathe, stabilises #climate, forms the basis of the food chain, but also provides us with beautiful satellite images🧐

FYI @aida_alvera @VittorioBrando @PlymouthMarine (this is right at your door 😉) @donnellyroryp @EJKwiatkowska @tonyveco
Colleagues from @PlymouthMarine (who are recognised amongst the top experts in Europe when it comes to 'Ocean Colour' "believe [that the bloom we looked at in this #ImageOfTheDay] is the largest ever coccolithophore bloom in the Channel"
@EmmanuelMacron The image on the left shows a fire from 1989, and the image on the right has been online since at least 2012. A number of other outdated and unrelated photographs have also been circulated as if they depicted the 2019 #AmazonFires.

@EmmanuelMacron Plankton that are plants, known as #phytoplankton, grow and get their own energy through photosynthesis and are responsible for producing an estimated 80% of the world’s oxygen. They need #CO2 to thrive.

@EmmanuelMacron Many use fire to maintain farmland or to clear land.
Typically, activity peaks in early Sept & mostly stops by Nov.
#NASA satellite data indicates total fire activity across the #AmazonBasin this year has been close to the average of the past 15 years.
