    Notes: Summary These experiments examined the exercise-induced changes in pulmonary gas exchange in elite endurance athletes and tested the hypothesis that an inadequate hyperventilatory response might explain the large intersubject variability in arterial partial pressure of oxygen (P a02) during heavy exercise in this population. Twelve highly trained endurance cyclists [maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) range = 65-77 ml·kg−1·min−1] performed a normoxic graded exercise test on a cycle ergometer toVO2max at sea level. During incremental exercise atVO2max 5 of the 12 subjects had ideal alveolar to arterial P02 gradients (P A-aO2) of above 5 kPa (range 5-5.7) and a decline from restingP aO2 (ΔP aO2) 2.4 kPa or above (range 2.4-2.7). In contrast, 4 subjects had a maximal exercise (P A-aO2) of 4.0-4.3 kPa with ΔP aO2 of 0.4-1.3 kPa while the remaining 3 subjects hadP A-aO2 of 4.3-5 kPa with ΔP aO2 between 1.7 and 2.0 kPa. The correlation between PAO2 andP aO2 atVO2max was 0.17. Further, the correlation between the ratio of ventilation to oxygen consumption VSP aO2 and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide VSP aO2 atVO2max was 0.17 and 0.34, respectively. These experiments demonstrate that heavy exercise results in significantly compromised pulmonary gas exchange in approximately 40% of the elite endurance athletes studied. These data do not support the hypothesis that the principal mechanism to explain this gas exchange failure is an inadequate hyperventilatory response.

    Description: Subseabed CO2 storage is considered a future climate change mitigation technology. We investigated the ecological consequences of CO2 leakage for a marine benthic ecosystem. For the first time with a multidisciplinary integrated study, we tested hypotheses derived from a meta-analysis of previous experimental and in situ high-CO2 impact studies. For this, we compared ecological functions of naturally CO2-vented seafloor off the Mediterranean island Panarea (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) to those of nonvented sands, with a focus on biogeochemical processes and microbial and faunal community composition. High CO2 fluxes (up to 4 to 7 mol CO2 m−2 hour−1) dissolved all sedimentary carbonate, and comigration of silicate and iron led to local increases of microphytobenthos productivity (+450%) and standing stocks (+300%). Despite the higher food availability, faunal biomass (−80%) and trophic diversity were substantially lower compared to those at the reference site. Bacterial communities were also structurally and functionally affected, most notably in the composition of heterotrophs and microbial sulfate reduction rates (−90%). The observed ecological effects of CO2 leakage on submarine sands were reproduced with medium-term transplant experiments. This study assesses indicators of environmental impact by CO2 leakage and finds that community compositions and important ecological functions are permanently altered under high CO2.
