@lammerantRoel sampled plant communities in the Baltic Sea and measured traits that captured key variation in plant life-history strategies, finding that functional composition was associated with plant carbon stocks and this relationship was mediated by spatial heterogeneity.

My 1st PhD chapter is out! We studied the role of #biodiversity for C cycling in vegetated seascapes by linking #macrophyte traits to C storage in tissue.

Out now: The cook book on how to simulate a #marineheatwave on the seafloor 🔥
Simply rip out your underfloor heating and put it in a chamber! 😋

What a feeling to flip the switch⚡️and turn everything off. #Hotfloor has ended and the seafloor can rest after simulating a #MarineHeatwave >20days.
Thanks to everyone who helped!!! It was a great team effort! Alf Norkko Joanna Norkko roel lammerant Camilla Gustafsson Leo Gottschalck

#TheBalticSea treated us today on #Itämeripäivä #BalticSeaDay with fantastic visibility (for our circumstances 😅) of 4-5m during our regular clean & check dive of our running #Hotfloor experiment.
The first time to have two chambers in one picture #thelittlethings 🥳 Tvärminne Zoological Station

At Tvärminne Zoological Station every day is a #balticseaday #itämeripäivä #östersjödagen . Today the station is full of students and researchers working for a better tomorrow CoastClim Finnish Scientific Diving Academy University of Helsinki BioEnvHelsinki #coastclim_spatial #hotfloor

Very happy to see one of my master projects getting published with Bob Muscarella Marco Borghetti and Angelo Rita.

What's that light? Divers sampling a coastal #marineheatwave experiment! To test effects on primary production, we take samples during the day and in the middle of the night. Norman Goebeler roel lammerant Alf Norkko Joanna Norkko Camilla Gustafsson CoastClim University of Helsinki

Here a sneak peak into some pictures and #underwater videos from our #Hotfloor setup and first day and night sampling! We were treated with an exceptionally beautiful calm and clear weather.
