Lauri, Pierre-Eric in OpenAIREWater use efficiency (WUE) is a quantitative measurement which improvement is a major issue in the context of global warming and restrictions in water availability for agriculture. In this study, we aimed at studying the variation and genetic control of WUE and the respective role of its components (plant biomass and transpiration) in a perennial fruit crop. We explored an INRA apple core collection grown in a phenotyping platform to screen one-year-old scions for their accumulated biomass, transpiration and WUE under optimal growing conditions. Plant biomass was decompose into morphological components related to either growth or organ expansion. For each trait, nine mixed models were evaluated to account for the genetic effect and spatial heterogeneity inside the platform. The Best Linear Unbiased Predictors of genetic values were estimated after model selection. Mean broad-sense heritabilities were calculated from variance estimates. Heritability values indicated that biomass (0.76) and WUE (0.73) were under genetic control. This genetic control was lower in plant transpiration with an heritability of 0.54. Across the collection, biomass accounted for 70% of the WUE variability. A Hierarchical Ascendant Classification of the core collection indicated the existence of six groups of genotypes with contrasting morphology and WUE. Differences between morphotypes were interpreted as resulting from differences in the main processes responsible for plant growth: cell division leading to the generation of new organs and cell elongation leading to organ dimension. Although further studies will be necessary on mature trees with more complex architecture and multiple sinks such as fruits, this study is a first step for improving apple plant material for the use of water.

Françoise Amélineau in OpenAIREThe earth is warming at an alarming rate, especially in the Arctic, where a marked decline in sea ice cover may have far-ranging consequences for endemic species. Little auks, endemic Arctic seabirds, are key bioindicators as they forage in the marginal ice zone and feed preferentially on lipid-rich Arctic copepods and ice-associated amphipods sensitive to the consequences of global warming. We tested how little auks cope with an ice-free foraging environment during the breeding season. To this end, we took advantage of natural variation in sea ice concentration along the east coast of Greenland. We compared foraging and diving behaviour, chick diet and growth and adult body condition between two years, in the presence versus nearby absence of sea ice in the vicinity of their breeding site. Moreover, we sampled zooplankton at sea when sea ice was absent to evaluate prey location and little auk dietary preferences. Little auks foraged in the same areas both years, irrespective of sea ice presence/concentration, and targeted the shelf break and the continental shelf. We confirmed that breeding little auks showed a clear preference for larger copepod species to feed their chick, but caught smaller copepods and nearly no ice-associated amphipod when sea ice was absent. Nevertheless, these dietary changes had no impact on chick growth and adult body condition. Our findings demonstrate the importance of bathymetry for profitable little auk foraging, whatever the sea-ice conditions. Our investigations, along with recent studies, also confirm more flexibility than previously predicted for this key species in a warming Arctic.

Airoldi, L in OpenAIRECoastal systems are increasingly threatened by multiple local anthropogenic and global climatic stressors. With the difficulties in remediating global stressors, management requires alternative approaches that focus on local scales. We used manipulative experiments to test whether reducing local stressors (sediment load and nutrient concentrations) can improve the resilience of foundation species (canopy algae along temperate rocky coastlines) to future projected global climate stressors (high wave exposure, increasing sea surface temperature), which are less amenable to management actions. We focused on Fucoids (Cystoseira barbata) along the north-western Adriatic coast in the Mediterranean Sea because of their ecological relevance, sensitivity to a variety of human impacts, and declared conservation priority. At current levels of sediment and nutrients, C. barbata showed negative responses to the simulated future scenarios of high wave exposure and increased sea surface temperature. However, reducing the sediment load increased the survival of C. barbata recruits by 90.24% at high wave exposure while reducing nutrient concentrations resulted in a 20.14% increase in the survival and enhanced the growth of recruited juveniles at high temperature. We conclude that improving water quality by reducing nutrient concentrations, and particularly the sediment load, would significantly increase the resilience of C. barbata populations to projected increases in climate stressors. Developing and applying appropriate targets for specific local anthropogenic stressors could be an effective management action to halt the severe and ongoing loss of key marine habitats.

Kristine Vander Mijnsbrugge in OpenAIREThe response of trees to a changing climate can be affected by transgenerational phenotypic plasticity, i.e. phenotypic variation that is conserved and transferred to the offspring. Transgenerational plasticity that is influenced by epigenetics (heritable changes in gene function that do not result from changes in DNA sequence) during both sexual and asexual reproduction are of major relevance for adaptation of plants to climate change. To understand the transgenerational effects on the responses of vegetatively propagated poplar (Populus deltoides and P. trichocarpa) ramets (cuttings) to a changing environment, we tested whether the temperature and photoperiod experienced by the mother trees (genets) persistently affects the phenology of the cuttings grown in a common environment. We weekly monitored the bud phenology of the cuttings collected from the parent trees that have been growing across Europe along a >2100 km latitudinal gradient for at least 18 years. In addition, we asked whether there was variation in DNA methylation as measured by Methylation Sensitive Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (MSAPs) in the clones due to the different environmental conditions experienced by the parent trees. Our results indicate a transgenerational effect on bud phenology in the asexually reproduced offspring (vegetative cuttings). The temperatures experienced by the parent tree clones (from different geographic regions) altered the bud flush of the cuttings in the common garden. However, no significant epigenetic variation was detected in the cuttings of the parent trees within single genotypes growing under different climates. In sum, our results show that trees have the potential to respond to rapid climate change but the mechanism behind these changes needs to be further investigated by more powerful molecular methods like whole-genome bisulphite sequencing techniques.

Antonio Gallardo in OpenAIREBien que l'on sache beaucoup de choses sur les facteurs qui contrôlent chaque composante du cycle terrestre de l'azote (N), il est moins clair comment ces facteurs affectent la disponibilité totale de l'azote, la somme des formes organiques et inorganiques potentiellement disponibles pour les micro-organismes et les plantes. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les écosystèmes pauvres en N tels que les terres arides, qui sont très sensibles au changement climatique et aux processus de désertification pouvant entraîner la perte de nutriments du sol tels que N. Nous avons évalué la corrélation entre différents facteurs climatiques, abiotiques, végétaux et liés aux nutriments et la disponibilité de N dans les prairies semi-arides de Stipa tenacissima le long d'un large gradient d'aridité allant de l'Espagne à la Tunisie. L'aridité avait la relation la plus forte avec la disponibilité de l'azote, suggérant l'importance des contrôles abiotiques sur le cycle de l'azote dans les terres arides. L'aridité semble moduler les effets du pH, de la couverture végétale et du C organique (CO) sur la disponibilité de l'azote. Nos résultats suggèrent que les taux de transformation de l'azote, qui sont largement influencés par les variations de l'humidité du sol, ne sont pas les moteurs directs de la disponibilité de l'azote dans les prairies étudiées. Au contraire, la forte relation entre l'aridité et la disponibilité de l'azote pourrait être motivée par des effets indirects qui opèrent sur de longues échelles de temps (des décennies à des millénaires), y compris à la fois biotiques (par exemple, la couverture végétale) et abiotiques (par exemple, le CO et le pH du sol). Si ces facteurs sont en fait plus importants que les effets à court terme des précipitations sur les taux de transformation de l'azote, alors nous pourrions nous attendre à observer une diminution décalée de la disponibilité de l'azote en réponse à l'augmentation de l'aridité. Néanmoins, nos résultats suggèrent que l'augmentation de l'aridité prévue avec le changement climatique en cours réduira la disponibilité de l'azote dans le bassin méditerranéen, affectant l'absorption des nutriments végétaux et la production primaire nette dans les prairies semi-arides de cette région. Si bien se sabe mucho sobre los factores que controlan cada componente del ciclo del nitrógeno (N) terrestre, está menos claro cómo estos factores afectan la disponibilidad total de N, la suma de formas orgánicas e inorgánicas potencialmente disponibles para microorganismos y plantas. Esto es particularmente cierto para los ecosistemas pobres en N, como las tierras secas, que son altamente sensibles al cambio climático y los procesos de desertificación que pueden conducir a la pérdida de nutrientes del suelo, como N. Evaluamos cómo los diferentes factores climáticos, abióticos, vegetales y relacionados con los nutrientes se correlacionan con la disponibilidad de N en los pastizales semiáridos de Stipa tenacissima a lo largo de un amplio gradiente de aridez desde España hasta Túnez. La aridez tuvo la relación más fuerte con la disponibilidad de N, lo que sugiere la importancia de los controles abióticos en el ciclo de N en las tierras secas. La aridez pareció modular los efectos del pH, la cobertura vegetal y el C orgánico (OC) sobre la disponibilidad de N. Nuestros resultados sugieren que las tasas de transformación de N, que son impulsadas en gran medida por las variaciones en la humedad del suelo, no son los impulsores directos de la disponibilidad de N en los pastizales estudiados. Más bien, la fuerte relación entre la aridez y la disponibilidad de N podría ser impulsada por efectos indirectos que operan en escalas de tiempo largas (décadas a milenios), incluyendo tanto bióticos (por ejemplo, cobertura vegetal) como abióticos (por ejemplo, OC y pH del suelo). Si estos factores son de hecho más importantes que los efectos a corto plazo de la precipitación en las tasas de transformación de N, entonces podríamos esperar observar una disminución retardada en la disponibilidad de N en respuesta al aumento de la aridez. Sin embargo, nuestros resultados sugieren que el aumento de la aridez predicho con el cambio climático en curso reducirá la disponibilidad de N en la cuenca mediterránea, lo que afectará la absorción de nutrientes de las plantas y la producción primaria neta en los pastizales semiáridos en toda esta región. While much is known about the factors that control each component of the terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle, it is less clear how these factors affect total N availability, the sum of organic and inorganic forms potentially available to microorganisms and plants. This is particularly true for N-poor ecosystems such as drylands, which are highly sensitive to climate change and desertification processes that can lead to the loss of soil nutrients such as N. We evaluated how different climatic, abiotic, plant and nutrient related factors correlate with N availability in semiarid Stipa tenacissima grasslands along a broad aridity gradient from Spain to Tunisia. Aridity had the strongest relationship with N availability, suggesting the importance of abiotic controls on the N cycle in drylands. Aridity appeared to modulate the effects of pH, plant cover and organic C (OC) on N availability. Our results suggest that N transformation rates, which are largely driven by variations in soil moisture, are not the direct drivers of N availability in the studied grasslands. Rather, the strong relationship between aridity and N availability could be driven by indirect effects that operate over long time scales (decades to millennia), including both biotic (e.g. plant cover) and abiotic (e.g. soil OC and pH). If these factors are in fact more important than short-term effects of precipitation on N transformation rates, then we might expect to observe a lagged decrease in N availability in response to increasing aridity. Nevertheless, our results suggest that the increase in aridity predicted with ongoing climate change will reduce N availability in the Mediterranean basin, impacting plant nutrient uptake and net primary production in semiarid grasslands throughout this region. في حين أن الكثير معروف عن العوامل التي تتحكم في كل مكون من مكونات دورة النيتروجين الأرضية (N)، إلا أنه من غير الواضح كيف تؤثر هذه العوامل على إجمالي توافر N، وهو مجموع الأشكال العضوية وغير العضوية التي يحتمل أن تكون متاحة للكائنات الحية الدقيقة والنباتات. وينطبق هذا بشكل خاص على النظم الإيكولوجية التي تعاني من فقر النيتروجين مثل الأراضي الجافة، وهي حساسة للغاية لتغير المناخ وعمليات التصحر التي يمكن أن تؤدي إلى فقدان مغذيات التربة مثل النيتروجين. قمنا بتقييم كيفية ارتباط العوامل المناخية واللاأحيائية والنباتية والمغذيات المختلفة بتوافر النيتروجين في المراعي شبه القاحلة على طول تدرج جفاف واسع من إسبانيا إلى تونس. كان للجفاف أقوى علاقة بتوافر النيتروجين، مما يشير إلى أهمية الضوابط اللاأحيائية في دورة النيتروجين في الأراضي الجافة. يبدو أن الجفاف يعدل تأثيرات الأس الهيدروجيني والغطاء النباتي و C العضوي (OC) على توافر N. تشير نتائجنا إلى أن معدلات تحول N، التي تحركها إلى حد كبير الاختلافات في رطوبة التربة، ليست هي الدوافع المباشرة لتوافر N في الأراضي العشبية المدروسة. بدلاً من ذلك، يمكن أن تكون العلاقة القوية بين الجفاف وتوافر N مدفوعة بالتأثيرات غير المباشرة التي تعمل على نطاقات زمنية طويلة (من عقود إلى آلاف السنين)، بما في ذلك كل من الحيوية (مثل الغطاء النباتي) واللاأحيائية (مثل OC التربة ودرجة الحموضة). إذا كانت هذه العوامل في الواقع أكثر أهمية من الآثار قصيرة الأجل لهطول الأمطار على معدلات تحول N، فقد نتوقع ملاحظة انخفاض متأخر في توافر N استجابة لزيادة الجفاف. ومع ذلك، تشير نتائجنا إلى أن الزيادة في القحولة المتوقعة مع تغير المناخ المستمر ستقلل من توافر N في حوض البحر الأبيض المتوسط، مما يؤثر على امتصاص المغذيات النباتية وصافي الإنتاج الأولي في المراعي شبه القاحلة في جميع أنحاء هذه المنطقة.

Alan M. Wilson in OpenAIRESympatric herbivores experience similar environmental conditions but can vary in their population trends. Identifying factors causing these differences could assist conservation efforts aimed at maintaining fully functional ecosystems. From 1996-2013, tsessebe and wildebeest populations in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, declined by 73% and 90%, respectively, whereas zebra populations remained stable. These sympatric, medium sized herbivores are exposed to similar natural and anthropogenic pressures, but apparently differ in their responses to those pressures. To identify factors that could cause these differences, we fitted GPS-enabled collars to six zebra, eight tsessebe and seven wildebeest in the Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana. We calculated utilisation distributions (UDs) from GPS data, and used 95% isopleths to compare seasonal home range size between species. We calculated utilisation intensity (UI) from the UDs and generated spatial layers representing resources and disturbances, and then used model averaging to identify factors affecting UI for each species. We calculated second and third order habitat selection ratios to determine whether species were habitat specialists or generalists. Zebra occupied larger home ranges than tsessebe and wildebeest, showed weaker responses to spatial variables and displayed no third order habitat selection; zebra social systems are also more fluid, allowing for information exchange between stable harems. Herbivore species that are sedentary, occupy small home ranges, are habitat specialists and exist in relatively isolated groups are likely to be less resistant and resilient to the rapid pace of environmental change forecast by climate change scenarios. Resources contained within existing protected areas are unlikely to maintain populations of such species at sufficiently high levels, potentially leading to functional extinction. Special precautions may be needed to ensure that such species can persist in the wild, such as buffer zones around existing protected areas, which would allow greater potential for adaptive movement should current environmental conditions change.

Melin, Frederic in OpenAIREParticulate matter export fuels benthic ecosystems in continental margins and the deep sea, removing carbon from the upper ocean. Gelatinous zooplankton biomass provides a fast carbon vector that has been poorly studied. Observational data of a large-scale benthic trawling survey from 1994 to 2005 provided a unique opportunity to quantify jelly-carbon along an entire continental margin in the Mediterranean Sea and to assess potential links with biological and physical variables. Biomass depositions were sampled in shelves, slopes and canyons with peaks above 1000 carcasses per trawl, translating to standing stock values between 0.3 and 1.4 mg C m(2) after trawling and integrating between 30,000 and 175,000 m(2) of seabed. The benthopelagic jelly-carbon spatial distribution from the shelf to the canyons may be explained by atmospheric forcing related with NAO events and dense shelf water cascading, which are both known from the open Mediterranean. Over the decadal scale, we show that the jelly-carbon depositions temporal variability paralleled hydroclimate modifications, and that the enhanced jelly-carbon deposits are connected to a temperature-driven system where chlorophyll plays a minor role. Our results highlight the importance of gelatinous groups as indicators of large-scale ecosystem change, where jelly-carbon depositions play an important role in carbon and energy transport to benthic systems.

Sophie Smout in OpenAIREIn marine ecosystems, maximum sustainable yield considerations are affected by any substantial changes that occur in the top and bottom compartments of the food-web. This study explores how the southern North Sea's fisheries may need to adjust their fishing efforts to maintain optimum yields of sole, plaice, cod and brown shrimps under increased marine mammal populations and a reduced primary productivity. We constructed plausible scenarios of ongoing food-web changes using the results of Bayesian age-structured population models to estimate carrying capacities of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus). Losses in primary productivity were predicted by lower trophic level ecosystem models. These scenarios were implemented in a food-web model of the southern North Sea. For each scenario, we sought mixed-fleet fishing efforts that would deliver maximum yields of sole, plaice, cod and brown shrimp combined. We also did so for a baseline run with unaltered mammal and primary production, and compared the differences in optimal fishing strategies, predicted yields, and states of the stocks between the scenarios. We found stocks and yields to be far more sensitive to changes in primary productivity than to increased marine mammal predation. The latter predominantly impacted cod, and even benefitted brown shrimps compared to the baseline run. Under 30% reduced primary productivity, fishing efforts had to be reduced by 50% to still provide maximum yields, whereas the marine mammal scenario induced no need to adjust the fishing regime. This draws attention to the potential gains of incorporating bottom-up processes into long-term management considerations, while marine mammal predation may be less of a concern, in particular for flatfish fisheries in the North Sea, and may even benefit shrimp trawlers because of reduced predation on shrimp from fish predators.

Fredrik Jutfelt in OpenAIREIn the coming decades, environmental change like warming and acidification will affect life in the ocean. While data on single stressor effects on fish are accumulating rapidly, we still know relatively little about interactive effects of multiple drivers. Of particular concern in this context are the early life stages of fish, for which direct effects of increased CO2 on growth and development have been observed. Whether these effects are further modified by elevated temperature was investigated here for the larvae of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), a commercially important fish species. Over a period of 32 days, larval survival, growth in size and weight, and instantaneous growth rate were assessed in a crossed experimental design of two temperatures (10°C and 12°C) with two CO2 levels (400 μatm and 900 μatm CO2) at food levels mimicking natural levels using natural prey. Elevated temperature alone led to increased swimming activity, as well as decreased survival and instantaneous growth rate (Gi). The comparatively high sensitivity to elevated temperature in this study may have been influenced by low food levels offered to the larvae. Larval size, Gi and swimming activity were not affected by CO2, indicating tolerance of this species to projected "end of the century" CO2 levels. A synergistic effect of elevated temperature and CO2 was found for larval weight, where no effect of elevated CO2 concentrations was detected in the 12°C treatment, but a negative CO2 effect was found in the 10°C treatment. Contrasting CO2 effects were found for survival between the two temperatures. Under ambient CO2 conditions survival was increased at 12°C compared to 10°C. In general, CO2 effects were minor and considered negligible compared to the effect of temperature under these mimicked natural food conditions. These findings emphasize the need to include biotic factors such as energy supply via prey availability in future studies on interactive effects of multiple stressors.

Travis, Justin M J in OpenAIREDynamic models for range expansion provide a promising tool for assessing species' capacity to respond to climate change by shifting their ranges to new areas. However, these models include a number of uncertainties which may affect how successfully they can be applied to climate change oriented conservation planning. We used RangeShifter, a novel dynamic and individual-based modelling platform, to study two potential sources of such uncertainties: the selection of land cover data and the parameterization of key life-history traits. As an example, we modelled the range expansion dynamics of two butterfly species, one habitat specialist (Maniola jurtina) and one generalist (Issoria lathonia). Our results show that projections of total population size, number of occupied grid cells and the mean maximal latitudinal range shift were all clearly dependent on the choice made between using CORINE land cover data vs. using more detailed grassland data from three alternative national databases. Range expansion was also sensitive to the parameterization of the four considered life-history traits (magnitude and probability of long-distance dispersal events, population growth rate and carrying capacity), with carrying capacity and magnitude of long-distance dispersal showing the strongest effect. Our results highlight the sensitivity of dynamic species population models to the selection of existing land cover data and to uncertainty in the model parameters and indicate that these need to be carefully evaluated before the models are applied to conservation planning.
