Seasonal recurrence and modular assembly of an Arctic pelagic marine microbiome by Taylor Priest, Ellen Oldenburg, Ovidiu Popa, Bledina Dede, Katja Metfies, Wilken-Jon von Appen, Sinhué Torres-Valdés, Christina Bienhold, Bernhard M. Fuchs, Rudolf Amann, Antje Boetius, Matthias Wietz

“…Abstract Deciphering how microbial communities are shaped by environmental variability is fundamental for understanding the structure and function of ocean ecosystems. While seasonal environmental gradients have been shown to structure the taxonomic dynamics of microbiomes over time, little is known about their impact on functional dynamics and the coupling between taxonomy and function. …”

“…This contribution highlights several case studies with special focus on 2018, a year marked by an exceptional sequence of compound events across large parts of Europe, resulting in severe impacts on human lives, ecosystems, and infrastructure. We provide new insights into the drivers of spatially and temporally compound events, such as heat and drought, and heavy precipitation combined with extreme winds, and their adverse effects on ecosystems and society, using large-scale atmospheric patterns. …”
