    Beschreibung: The earth's capacity to absorb greenhouse gases is ultimately a critical limiting factor in the handling of metals. The fact that the demand for metals far exceeds their secondary production is extremely problematic at this point. Nevertheless, metals are crucial for climate protection and energy system transformation. Examples are the rare earth metal neodymium used in high-performance permanent magnets in wind turbines, the alkali metal lithium as the most important component in batteries, or the metal tellurium used in thin-film solar cells to generate solar power. It is therefore essential to promote the aspects of resource efficiency and to strengthen the critical role of metals in national and European policy programs. Next to a global solution, a European solo effort with predominantly market-based instruments and the effects of committed behaviour by civil society in the European Union (EU), show that the EU can make a considerable contribution to sustainable development on its own. Thus, a comprehensive approach is needed for sustainable metal management in the sense of a circular economy on the European level fostering sustainable production and consumption pathways. But, this need and the special role of metals are not seen in the current debate about resources in society and politics. Due to the fact that in public perception, metallic raw materials are often discussed as less urgent than energy or polymer raw materials, this article aims to highlight the critical role of metals. Further, the objective of this contribution is to show which prerequisites exist for the development and establishment of a holistic metal management and where political strategies have to start. Challenges needed to be overcome to achieve such a holistic metal strategy and management are highlighted. In particular, the role of the metal industry, circular product design and labelling and corresponding indicator systems is examined. In addition, the special role of digitalisation is being worked out. Finally, conclusions are drawn and shown which aspects have to be considered for a holistic metal strategy and management.

    Beschreibung: Sustainable consumption policies affect households differently, in particular when they are confronted with limitations on income, time or freedom of movement (e.g. driving to work). And although it is possible to assess either the average or individual material footprint (per capita or via surveys), we lack methods to describe different types of households, their lifestyles and footprints in a representative manner. We explore possibilities to do so in this article. Our interest lies in finding an applicable method that allows us to describe the footprint of households regarding their socio-demographic characteristics but also find the causes consumption behaviour. This type of monitoring would enable us to tailor policies for sustainable consumption that respect people's needs and restrictions.

    Beschreibung: Detecting changes of sediment boundaries on the seafloor is important for a better understanding of sediment dynamics and related impacts to benthic habitats. Side-scan sonars (SSS) perform more cost-effectively in shallow waters than other acoustic systems because of their larger swath widths, and the resolution of its images does not change with varying water depth. However, as they are generally towed behind the survey vessel, they tend to have lower positioning accuracy, which makes them unreliable for change detection analyses. In this study, we present a workflow that processes SSS data in a way that makes them fit for change detection analyses. To test the capacity of SSS mosaics for change detection, we used a free software called “Digital Shoreline Analysis System”, which was developed by the United States Geological Survey for ArcGIS version 10.4 onwards. The methods were applied in three areas in the Sylt Outer Reef, German Bight, North Sea. Our results showed that with appropriate processing, SSS mosaics could be used for change detection of sharp sediment boundaries. We found a common trend in the sediment distribution patterns of coarse sediments by monitoring the movement of their boundaries. The boundaries moved in northeast-southwest direction and boundary movements of less than 20 m were typically observed. The methods presented here are semi-automated, repeatable, and replicable, which has potential for wide-scale monitoring of sediment distribution patterns.

    Beschreibung: The ongoing environmental changes in the Southern Ocean may cause a dramatic decrease in habitat quality. Due to its central position in the food web, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a key species of the marine Antarctic ecosystem. It is therefore crucial to understand how increasing water temperatures affect important krill life-cycle processes. Here, a long-term (August – March) laboratory acclimation experiment at different temperature scenarios (0.5 ◦C, 1.5 ◦C, 2.5 ◦C, 3.5 ◦C, 5 ◦C, 7 ◦C) was performed and the effects of elevated temperatures on whole animal parameters (O2 consumption, body length, length of the digestive gland) were analyzed. The response of krill oxygen consumption to different experimental temperatures differed between acute/short-term and long-term acclimation. After 8 months, krill oxygen consumption remained unchanged up to temperatures of 3.5 ◦C and was significantly higher at temperatures 〉 3.5 ◦C. Krill acclimated to temperatures ≥ 3.5 ◦C were significantly smaller at the end of the experiment. Limited food intake and/or conversion may have contributed to this effect, especially pronounced after the onset of the reproductive period. In addition, the seasonal growth pattern in males differed from that of females. Together, our findings indicate that warming Southern Ocean waters are likely to increase metabolic rate in krill, possibly altering the amount of energy available for other important life-cycle processes, a finding directly related to future population dynamics and fisheries management.

    Beschreibung: The Ocean Floor Observation and Bathymetry System (OFOBS) is an underwater survey plat-form, which is designed and developed for research in the Polar Regions by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). The tailored deep tow system brought a new perspective and clarity from Arctic Ocean by its optical and acoustic sensors. During the PS101 expedition at the Karasik seamount, OFOBS provides a novel picture of megafauna’s habitats. In this study, we develop a methodology to convert the imagery dataset to micro-bathymetry in order to provide primary data for object detection and habitat mapping which will provide a better understanding of arctic benthic habitats. The methodology is based on the underwater photogrammetry workflow and two different point cloud classification methods adopted for sponge detec-tion in 3D point clouds, to facilitate habitat mapping with a focus on the central of Kara

    Beschreibung: Dispersal and foodweb dynamics have long been studied in separate models. However, over the past decades, it has become abundantly clear that there are intricate interactions between local dynamics and spatial patterns. Trophic meta-communities, i.e. meta-foodwebs, are very complex systems that exhibit complex and often counterintuitive dynamics. Over the past decade, a broad range of modelling approaches have been used to study these systems. In this paper, we review these approaches and the insights that they have revealed. We focus particularly on recent papers that study trophic interactions in spatially extensive settings and highlight the common themes that emerged in different models. There is overwhelming evidence that dispersal (and particularly intermediate levels of dispersal) benefits the maintenance of biodiversity in several different ways. Moreover, some insights have been gained into the effect of different habitat topologies, but these results also show that the exact relationships are much more complex than previously thought, highlighting the need for further research in this area. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Integrative research perspectives on marine conservation’.

    Beschreibung: Whereas the conservation and management of biodiversity has become a key issue in environmental sciences and policy in general, the conservation of marine biodiversity faces additional challenges such as the challenges of accessing field sites (e.g. polar, deep sea), knowledge gaps regarding biodiversity trends, high mobility of many organisms in fluid environments, and ecosystem-specific obstacles to stakeholder engagement and governance. This issue comprises contributions from a diverse international group of scientists in a benchmarking volume for a common research agenda on marine conservation. We begin by addressing information gaps on marine biodiversity trends through novel approaches and technologies, then linking such information to ecosystem functioning through a focus on traits. We then leverage the knowledge of these relationships to inform theory aiming at predicting the future composition and functioning of marine communities. Finally, we elucidate the linkages between marine ecosystems and human societies by examining economic, management and governance approaches that contribute to effective marine conservation in practice. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Integrative research perspectives on marine conservation’.

    Beschreibung: An accurate identification of species and communities is a prerequisite for analysing and recording biodiversity and community shifts. In the context of marine biodiversity conservation and management, this review outlines past, present and forward-looking perspectives on identifying and recording planktonic diversity by illustrating the transition from traditional species identification based on morphological diagnostic characters to full molecular genetic identification of marine assemblages. In this process, the article presents the methodological advancements by discussing progress and critical aspects of the crossover from traditional to novel and future molecular genetic identifications and it outlines the advantages of integrative approaches using the strengths of both morphological and molecular techniques to identify species and assemblages. We demonstrate this process of identifying and recording marine biodiversity on pelagic copepods as model taxon. Copepods are known for their high taxonomic and ecological diversity and comprise a huge variety of behaviours, forms and life histories, making them a highly interesting and well-studied group in terms of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Furthermore, their short life cycles and rapid responses to changing environments make them good indicators and core research components for ecosystem health and status in the light of environmental change. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Integrative research perspectives on marine conservation’.
