🚨New paper out!🚨We show that #MarineHeatwaves amplify benthic metabolism and solute fluxes utilizing new developed #Hotfloor system-an in situ heating experiment.
No major community shifts, but big functional changes! 🌊🔥

(Repost from twitter @asloorg.bsky.social 13.11.2023)💡 This #MethodsMonday researchers from
@Tvarminne in collaboration with #RothFinland introduce the new #Hotfloor system to simulate #marineheatwave on the #seafloor. This allows more realistic climate warming studies urgently needed (1/2)
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.

Preparing to experimentally heat up the seafloor! The first pieces are “rolling” out for our next @CoastClim study #Hotfloor to investigate the effects of #MarineHeatwave on #benthic ecosystems
