Planktonic microbial communities (esp. those close to shore) were also affected by terrestrial stressors, and among nearshore sites, those with the most nutrient enrichment had microbial communities that were the most unique from more offshore lagoon sites.
We found that precipitation plays a dynamic role in short- (days) and long-term (weeks-to-months) nutrient enrichment but that land cover is an important driver of nutrients regardless of the time-scale of precipitation. Water column fDOM indicates nutrients are coming at least in part from land.
These findings emphasize the importance of land-sea connections in shaping the quality of waters that sustain life, restore spirits, and protect communities. From the tropics to the poles, impacts of activities on land eventually make their way to the ocean - and it's up to us to mitigate them.
This was such a cool project to be a part of! We used ML models to build a high-res (1.4m) land cover map, and combined terrain+weather data w/ algae+water samples from >200 lagoon sites over 4 years to understand connections between land use, precipitation, water quality, and microbial communities.

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students.
I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...
š§µ New paper out today in @peercommunityin.bsky.social Journal!
@joelpick.bsky.social et al. introduce the first standardised guidelines for data & code quality control in #ecology & #evolutionarybiology, on behalf of @sortee.bsky.social š
