    Description / Table of Contents: Ohne das Meer gäbe es kein Leben auf unserem Planeten. Es regelt weitgehend das Klima, gibt uns Nahrung und liefert Energie. Darüber hinaus ist es ein wichtiger Verkehrsweg, ein Erholungsraum und ein Quell ästhetischen Vergnügens. Aber das Meer steht unter Stress, denn das alte Prinzip von der „Freiheit der Meere“ hat zu Überfischung, Artenverlust und einer immensen Verschmutzung der Ozeane geführt.Deshalb muss der Umgang mit dem Meer auf nachhaltige und gerechte Grundlagen gestellt werden. Der Meeresatlas 2017 liefert dazu die Daten, Fakten und Zusammenhänge. Er zeigt in zahlreichen Beiträgen und über 50 Grafiken, in welch schlechtem Zustand sich die Weltmeere befinden, warum das so ist und was man tun muss, um die Situation der Ozeane zu verbessern.

    Description: The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the uppermost layer of the water column that links the ocean and atmosphere. It accumulates a variety of biogenic surface-active and buoyant substances, including gelatinous material, such as transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and Coomassie stainable particles (CSP), potentially affecting air–sea exchange processes. Here, we studied the influence of the annual cycle of phytoplankton production on organic matter (OM) accumulation in the SML relative to the subsurface water (SSW). Sampling was performed monthly from April 2012 to November 2013 at the Boknis Eck Time Series Station (Baltic Sea). For SML sampling, we used the Garrett screen, while SSW samples were collected by Niskin bottles at 1 m depth. Samples were analyzed for carbohydrates, amino acids, TEP, CSP, chlorophyll a (SSW only) and bacterial abundance. Our data showed that the SML reflected the SSW during most parts of the year, with changes mainly responding to bloom formation and decay. OM composition during phytoplankton blooms clearly differed from periods of higher bacterial abundance. Of all components investigated, only the enrichment of total carbohydrates in the SML was inversely related to the wind speed indicating that wind-driven mixing also affected the accumulation of OM in the SML during our study.

    Description: A mesocosm experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of rising fCO2 on the build-up and decline of organic matter during coastal phytoplankton blooms. Five mesocosms (∼38 m³ each) were deployed in the Baltic Sea during spring (2009) and enriched with CO2 to yield a gradient of 355–862 µatm. Mesocosms were nutrient fertilized initially to induce phytoplankton bloom development. Changes in particulate and dissolved organic matter concentrations, including dissolved high-molecular weight (〉1 kDa) combined carbohydrates, dissolved free and combined amino acids as well as transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), were monitored over 21 days together with bacterial abundance, and hydrolytic extracellular enzyme activities. Overall, organic matter followed well-known bloom dynamics in all CO2 treatments alike. At high fCO2, higher ΔPOC:ΔPON during bloom rise, and higher TEP concentrations during bloom peak, suggested preferential accumulation of carbon-rich components. TEP concentration at bloom peak was significantly related to subsequent sedimentation of particulate organic matter. Bacterial abundance increased during the bloom and was highest at high fCO2. We conclude that increasing fCO2 supports production and exudation of carbon-rich components, enhancing particle aggregation and settling, but also providing substrate and attachment sites for bacteria. More labile organic carbon and higher bacterial abundance can increase rates of oxygen consumption and may intensify the already high risk of oxygen depletion in coastal seas in the future.

    Description: To investigate the combined effect of temperature and light availability on organic matter production and degradation during a winter/spring phytoplankton bloom in Kiel Bight, we conducted a mesocosm study applying two temperature regimes, ambient (T + 0) and plus 6°C (T + 6) and three irradiance levels. Rising temperature accelerated the onset of the phytoplankton bloom, while light intensity played only a minor role for the timing and bloom development. Maximum build-up of chlorophyll a and particulate organic carbon were ∼20% lower at T + 6 compared with T + 0, probably caused by a combination of elevated heterotrophic processes and enhanced sedimentation during the bloom. The latter is supported by increased TEP concentrations at T + 6 (TEP/POC 0.18 mol C/mol C) compared with T + 0 (0.11 mol C/mol C) during bloom conditions, which may have promoted cell aggregation and sinking. Dissolved organic carbon concentrations increased more rapidly at elevated temperature. For a warmer future ocean, we can hence expect two counteracting mechanisms controlling organic matter flow during phytoplankton blooms: (1) enhanced processing of organic matter via the microbial loop resulting in a faster recycling and (2) depending on the dominating phytoplankton species, enhanced TEP formation resulting in increased particle aggregation and thus export of carbon and nutrients.

    Description: The termination of diatom spring blooms in temperate waters has been connected with the formation and subsequent rapid sedimentation of aggregates. According to coagulation theory, the rate of aggregate formation depends on the probability of particle collision and on the efficiency with which two particles adhere once they have collided (stickiness). During this study, the variation in particle stickiness was determined over the decline of a diatom bloom using the Couette Chamber assay with low shear (G = 0.86 s–1). A mixed diatom population, dominated by Skeletonema costatum, was sampled during the spring bloom in the Baltic Sea and incubated in the laboratory for 18 days. Measurements of diatom species composition, transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and bulk particle abundance, as well as chemical and biological variables, were conducted in order to reveal the determinants of coagulation efficiency. The investigation showed that an increase in TEP concentration relative to conventional particles at the decline of the bloom significantly enhanced apparent coagulation efficiencies. High proportions of TEP led to apparent values of stickiness 〉1, which indicates that collision rates can be substantially underestimated when the stickiness parameter α is calculated on the basis of conventional particle counting only, e.g. with the Coulter Counter. A new stickiness parameter, α′, was therefore estimated based on the combined volume fractions of TEP and conventional particles. The problems of stickiness measurements are discussed and the role of TEP in coagulation processes is emphasized.

    Description: This study investigates the turnover of polysaccharides by heterotrophic bacterioplankton in the northern Bay of Biscay, a productive marine system on the continental margin of the temperate Atlantic Ocean. Bacterial biomass production (BBP) near the surface ranged from 0.5 to 25.7 nmol C L−1 h−1 during small phytoplankton blooms in May and June that occurred after the main spring bloom. A direct relationship between BBP and total polysaccharides strongly suggests the dependence of bacterial growth on the availability of semi-labile organic matter. Concentrations of combined glucose as well as rate constants of extracellular glucosidase activity and glucose uptake were determined to estimate the actual carbon fluxes from bacterial polysaccharide turnover. Results reveal that the degradation of polysaccharides in the upper 100 m of the water column sustained a glucose flux of 15.2–32.3 mg C m−2 d−1 that was available for bacterial consumption. The mean turnover time for polysaccharides was 170 and 165 days for α- and β-glycosidic linked polymers, respectively. Incorporation of free glucose supported 0.4–19.6% of BBP. The availability of nitrate plus nitrite (NOx) was identified as one factor increasing bacterial incorporation of glucose in most samples. Our results demonstrate that the bacterial recycling of polysaccharides generated a significant flux of organic carbon in microbial food-webs and biogeochemical processes.

    Description: An experimental study was conducted to test the effects of projected sea surface warming (according to the IPPC scenarios) on the accumulation and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during marine phytoplankton blooms in cold seas (〈4°C). Eight mesocosms (∼1400 L) were filled with natural seawater, and two replicate mesocosms each were incubated by raising temperature by +0, +2, +4 and +6°C, respectively. The enclosed water was initially fertilized with inorganic nutrients to induce the development of phytoplankton blooms, which were then dominated by diatoms. Over a 4-week period, dissolved combined carbohydrates (DCCHO) and dissolved amino acids (DAA) were determined as major components of freshly produced, labile to semi-labile DOM. In all mesocosms, the increase in DCCHO concentration occurred sharply after the peak of chlorophyll a concentration, when nutrients became depleted. Rising temperature resulted in an earlier, faster and higher accumulation of DCCHO and of combined glucose predominantly. DCCHO yielded a maximum percentage of 35, 40, 49 and 59% of total combined carbohydrates in the +0, +2, +4 and +6°C treatments, respectively. Accumulation of DAA occurred more continuously and at an average rate of 0.79 ± 0.20 nmol L−1 h−1, but was not affected by rising temperature. Owing to the higher accumulation of DCCHO, the C:N ratio of DOM increased strongly during the course of the bloom, with higher ratios in the warmer treatments. Our study suggests that warming increases the extracellular release of carbohydrates from phytoplankton and, therefore, may affect the bottom-up control of the microbial loop in cold seas in the future.
