Studies on Bog Lakes

Influence of selected environmental factors on the abundance of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs in peat-bog lakes

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs (AAPs) are photoheterotrophic prokaryotes that are widespread in many limnic and marine environments. So far, little is known about their distribution in peat-bog lakes. Seventeen peat-bog lakes were sampled during three summer seasons 2009, 2011, and 2012, and the vertical distribution of AAPs was determined by infrared epifluorescence microscopy. The analysis de...

Bacterial Community Composition and Dynamics Spanning Five Years in Freshwater Bog Lakes

Bacteria play a key role in freshwater biogeochemical cycling, but long-term trends in freshwater bacterial community composition and dynamics are not yet well characterized. We used a multiyear time series of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data from eight bog lakes to census the freshwater bacterial community and observe annual and seasonal trends in abundance. The sites that we studied enc...

reemphasized a classic issue within political and cultural theory – the relationship between individual human agency and social structure: to what extent do local actions reproduce or transform global structures? Several early accounts of the internet expressed high hopes, not least, regarding its participatory potential and transformative capacity. Could clicks cumulatively change the world? –...
