Abstract

Lentic waters are biogeochemical reactors, producing and receiving carbon (C) originally fixed by the terrestrial and aquatic biosphere, which is then buried in sediments or respired back to the atmosphere in the forms of carbon dioxide (CO2) and one of the more potent greenhouse gas (GHG) methane (CH4). Additionally, lakes serve as archives of terrestrial and aquatic carbon processes within their sediments, enabling the reconstruction of historical changes spanning thousands of years. These changes encompass alterations in land cover, indicated by pollen records, soil carbon erosion and shifts in lake productivity resulting from changes in land use and climate. Both the burial of C in lakes and the emissions of GHGs are recognised as important components of Earth's climate system, yet they remain poorly understood and constrained due to inadequate quantities and qualities of observations. In the case of GHG emissions from lakes, observations are often sporadic, failing to capture the significant spatial and temporal variations in emissions across diverse lentic systems. To address this challenge, process-based models that incorporate the interconnected biogeochemical processes occurring within lakes and their watersheds would arguably be the best tool to extrapolate from site-level observations to regional and finally global scales, to quantify the anthropogenic impact on these fluxes and to reconstruct long-term shifts in emissions and burial due to changes in land cover and climate. However, the development and evaluation of such models is hampered by the lack of observations in sufficient quality. In this project, we bring together a unique consortium of specialists in aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, palynology, sedimentology and modelling of terrestrial and aquatic biogeochemistry. This project will put forth a national programme of systematic, long-term observations of lake GHG and C cycling processes of unmet detail, consistency and quality. First, at 40 pilot sites spanning typological and environmental gradients, there will be a comprehensive data acquisition endeavour to evaluate biological processes and mesological factors influencing the sequestration or recycling of organic carbon. This effort will be complemented with a synthesis of existing data (WP1). Second, based on well-dated sediment records, which include both newly-acquired and synthesised existing data, variability of lake C burial and their climate and land-use controls will be reconstructed over the past 150 years (WP2). For 15 of these pilot sites, reconstruction will go back until the mid-Holocene (5,000 years BP), allowing us to shed light on the anthropogenic perturbation of the C cycle in this earlier part of human history, which is commonly excluded from this type of research due to lack of information. The activities of these first two WPs will result in an open-source national database, guaranteeing valorisation of our research far beyond this project. In WP3, we will use the land surface model (LSM) ORCHIDEE C-lateral to assess C cycling in the terrestrial biosphere and the mobilisation of biospheric C into lakes, which is possible due to an explicit representation of soil C leaching and erosion processes and a downscaling scheme permitting us to assess C exports from watersheds at sub-grid scale. While LSMs are used to assess evolution of biospheric C budgets from the beginning of the Industrial Period, we will use it to hindcast the evolution since the mid-Holocene, using lake sediment records for model validation. Moreover, we will develop a new process-based lake C model supported by the database established in WPs 1 and 2, which we will couple to ORCHIDEE C-lateral to simulate lake C burial and GHG emissions in response to climate and processes in the lake watershed. This model set-up will first be used to better constrain contemporary large-scale lake GHG emissions and to disentangle the anthropogenic perturbation of these fluxes from the natural background flux. These estimates will be revolutionary, as they will allow attributing part of lake GHG emissions to anthropogenic emissions for national GHG budget reporting. Then, these models will be emulated to reconstruct evolution of lake GHG budgets and C budgets of the whole lake watershed since the mid-Holocene. While simulations will first be performed at the scales of France and Europe, the development of international partnerships to implement observations from other biomes (WP4) will finally support simulations at the global scale.

Abstract

Microbes play a critical role in plant litter decomposition and influence the fate of carbon in rivers and riparian zones. When decomposing low-nutrient plant litter, microbes acquire nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from the environment (i.e., nutrient immobilization), and this process is potentially sensitive to nutrient loading and changing climate. Nonetheless, environmental controls on immobilization are poorly understood because rates are also influenced by plant litter chemistry, which is coupled to the same environmental factors. Here we used a standardized, low-nutrient organic matter substrate (cotton strips) to quantify nutrient immobilization at 100 paired stream and riparian sites representing 11 biomes worldwide. Immobilization rates varied by three orders of magnitude, were greater in rivers than riparian zones, and were strongly correlated to decomposition rates. In rivers, P immobilization rates were controlled by surface water phosphate concentrations, but N immobilization rates were not related to inorganic N. The N:P of immobilized nutrients was tightly constrained to a molar ratio of 10:1 despite wide variation in surface water N:P. Immobilization rates were temperature-dependent in riparian zones but not related to temperature in rivers. However, in rivers nutrient supply ultimately controlled whether microbes could achieve the maximum expected decomposition rate at a given temperature. Collectively, we demonstrated that exogenous nutrient supply and immobilization are critical control points for decomposition of organic matter.

Abstract

River ecosystems receive and process vast quantities of terrestrial organic carbon, the fate of which depends strongly on microbial activity. Variation in and controls of processing rates, however, are poorly characterized at the global scale. In response, we used a peer-sourced research network and a highly standardized carbon processing assay to conduct a global-scale field experiment in greater than 1000 river and riparian sites. We found that Earth’s biomes have distinct carbon processing signatures. Slow processing is evident across latitudes, whereas rapid rates are restricted to lower latitudes. Both the mean rate and variability decline with latitude, suggesting temperature constraints toward the poles and greater roles for other environmental drivers (e.g., nutrient loading) toward the equator. These results and data set the stage for unprecedented “next-generation biomonitoring” by establishing baselines to help quantify environmental impacts to the functioning of ecosystems at a global scale.

Abstract

River ecosystems receive and process vast quantities of terrestrial organic carbon, the fate of which depends strongly on microbial activity. Variation in and controls of processing rates, however, are poorly characterized at the global scale. In response, we used a peer-sourced research network and a highly standardized carbon processing assay to conduct a global-scale field experiment in greater than 1000 river and riparian sites. We found that Earth’s biomes have distinct carbon processing signatures. Slow processing is evident across latitudes, whereas rapid rates are restricted to lower latitudes. Both the mean rate and variability decline with latitude, suggesting temperature constraints toward the poles and greater roles for other environmental drivers (e.g., nutrient loading) toward the equator. These results and data set the stage for unprecedented “next-generation biomonitoring” by establishing baselines to help quantify environmental impacts to the functioning of ecosystems at a global scale.

Abstract

Variability in greenhouse gas emissions from reservoirs creates uncertainty in global estimates of C emissions from reservoirs. This study examines the temporal and spatial variability in CO2 and CH4 surface water concentrations and diffusive fluxes from an Amazonian reservoir using an original data set combining both a high temporal (1 central site × 22 years) and spatial (44 sites × 1 season) resolution monitoring. The gas concentrations at the central site decreased over time and suggested reduced bioavailability of C in the initial flooded soil but exhibited strong seasonal variation. Not accounting for this variability may result in uncertainties in estimates of annual concentrations (ranging from −68.9% to +260% for CH4 and from −71.5% to +156% for CO2) and thus in estimates of diffusive gas emissions. Gas concentrations and diffusive fluxes exhibited high spatial variability in the reservoir, 24 years after impoundment. In particular, diffusive fluxes were higher in littoral and transitional areas than in open areas, suggesting a large contribution of allochthonous C to current gaseous emissions. Not accounting for this spatial variability in diffusive fluxes may underestimate the total emissions expressed in CO2 equivalents from the whole reservoir by 50.7%. Our study stresses the importance of well‐resolved temporal and spatial monitoring to provide reliable estimated of C emissions and a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved; both of these inputs are needed to support decision‐making for developing energy strategies. Plain Language Summary: While touted as a low carbon source of electricity, some tropical hydropower reservoirs were reported to emit substantial quantities of dioxide carbon and methane. Tropical reservoirs, especially those located in the lowland reaches of Amazon basin, are the greatest reservoir emitters on the planet. Despite this, hundreds of dams are set to be constructed in these areas. In the context of global warming and the expanding growth of hydroelectricity, the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from tropical reservoirs is recognized as a priority. Yet emissions vary greatly in time and space. Such variability has to be addressed to provide reliable estimates of carbon emissions from reservoirs and to guide energy decision‐making. With long‐term monitoring of a 24 year old Amazonian reservoir, we reported high gaseous concentrations in the first years following impoundment due to the mineralization of the large stock of carbon coming from the flooded rainforest. The past 10 years, concentrations have significantly decreased with the reduced bioavailability of flooded carbon. Yet the variability of gaseous concentrations within the reservoir reveals the importance of carbon inputs coming from numerous tributaries and the surrounding rainforest for explaining long‐term emissions from the reservoir. Not accounting for such spatial variability may lead to significant underestimates of gross greenhouse emissions from Amazonian reservoirs. Key Points: Petit‐Saut reservoir exhibited high temporal and spatial variability in dissolved CO2 and CH4 concentrationsVariability in dissolved gas concentrations was likely related to heterogeneity of carbon sources that also vary in time and spaceTransitional and littoral areas exhibited higher C emissions than open areas suggesting the importance of allochthonous inputs for the current gross emissions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

1. In-stream nitrate removal capacity may be used as a proxy for the ecosystem service of water quality regulation. It is well known that this natural function is driven by abiotic and biotic factors in running water environments. With regard to biotic drivers, most of the literature focuses on the microbial community influences, but there has been very little emphasis on the relationship with the benthic macroinvertebrate community. Since this community feeds on microbial assemblages (autotrophic and/or heterotrophic biofilms) that live on the streambed and in the hyporheic zone of the river, macroinvertebrates also have the potential to influence nitrate removal via its influences on microbiological processes. 2. The objective of this study was to examine the potential relationship between the macroinvertebrate communities and nitrate removal. A dataset of in-stream nitrate removal rates measured in nine-third-order streams was analysed. The simultaneous influences of abiotic (hydromorphological, physical and chemical characteristics) and biotic (biofilm and macroinvertebrate) drivers were examined and together explained 56% of the in-stream nitrate removal variance. An analysis of the independent contributions of each driver showed that abiotic drivers (e.g. ammonium, dissolved organic carbon, temperature and transient zone) contributed 40% of this nitrate removal variance, whereas the macroinvertebrate community contributed 39%. 3. The potential relationship between macroinvertebrates and nitrate removal was subsequently explored using trait-based approaches of the macroinvertebrate community. This method allows for the selection of trait modalities assuming a top-down control of microbial communities by macroinvertebrates, with in-stream abiotic conditions correlated with nitrate removal (assuming that environmental conditions affect macroinvertebrate community composition). 4. The main trait modalities positively correlated with nitrate removal were scraper (f

Abstract

International audience; 1. Dam presence is commonly associated with strong accumulation of polluted sediments. In spite of this context of multiple stressors, physical effects are often solely considered in the ecological assessment of the dam impacts. 2. We studied four reservoir/downstream reach systems differing in levels of sediment contamination in reservoirs. Using assemblages and biotrait (i.e. ecological or biological attribute) responses of macroinvertebrate communities and leaf litter breakdown, we examined the individual effects and potential interactions between sediment contamination and dam presence along the gradient of ecotoxic pressure. 3. Leaf breakdown rates ranged from 0.0044 degrees per day in the most contaminated reservoir to 0.0120 degrees per day in the reference reservoir. Comparisons of community trait profiles among reservoirs highlighted a gradient of trait responses to sediment contamination. 4. In the absence of toxic contamination, the dam-induced modifications in biotraits of invertebrate assemblages were not related to a reduction of leaf litter breakdown. Conversely, contaminated sediment in reservoir induced strong functional disturbances (i.e. bioecological shifts and reduction of leaf litter breakdown) downstream of dams. 5. Key biotrait categories positively related to leaf litter breakdown rate have been identified. They corresponded mainly to shredders and/or small-sized (4 cm) species, having several generations per year (polyvoltin), using asexual reproduction and/or disseminating by drift (aquatic, passive). 6. In the current context of ecological continuity restoration, this study has identified the risks associated with the presence of historical contamination in the run-of-river reservoirs for downstream ecosystem health.

Abstract

International audience; Freshwater ecosystems have been fragmented by the construction of large numbers of dams. In addition to disruption of ecological continuity and physical disturbance downstream, accumulation of large amounts of sediment within run-of-river reservoirs constitutes a latent ecotoxic risk to aquatic communities. To date, run-of-river reservoirs and ecotoxic risks associated with contaminated sediment to the biodiversity and functioning of such systems are little studied. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to describe macroinvertebrate assemblages, and the functioning of these systems, and to propose indicators of sediment contamination to integrate in in-situ risk assessment methodology. To identify specific assemblages of run-of-river reservoirs, we first compared macroinvertebrate assemblages and their biotrait profiles (i.e. from a database of biological and ecological traits) in reservoirs (n = 6) and associated river sites (upstream and downstream of dams). Then, we compared responses of assemblages and biotrait profiles to sediment contamination of the banks and channels of reservoirs to select the most useful spatial scale to identify sediment contamination. Nineteen indicator taxa were observed to be specifically associated with channel habitats of reservoirs. Among these, the abundance of three taxa (Tanypodinae (Diptera), Ephemerella (Ephemeroptera) and Atherix (Diptera)) revealed the effect of metal sediment contamination. "Between-reservoirs" differences in their biotrait profile were found along the contamination gradient, with a shift of communities' composition and functionality, and an increase in functional similarity. Many traits (response traits), for example "maximum size", "transverse distribution", "substrate preferences", "saprobity", "temperature", "resistance forms", and "locomotion", were specifically linked to contamination of sediments by metals. This study indicates how sediment contamination can change the structural and functional composition of run-of-river reservoir assemblages. Indicator taxa and response traits identified in this study could improve current risk assessment methodology and potentially enable prediction of the risks of contaminated sediments stored in reservoirs in downstream ecosystems.

Abstract

Sediment evaluation and monitoring is an essential part of ecosystem monitoring since sediments represent an important component of aquatic habitats and are also a potential source of contamination. Current methodologies of their ecotoxic risk assessment do not encompass ecosystemic responses and do not take into account multiple abiotic and biotic stressors. Run-of-river reservoirs entrap a large amount of sediments and constitute an opportunity to develop original risk assessment methodologies that integrate biological responses in situ and their potential effects for river ecosystem functioning. Six run-of-river reservoirs were selected to study the effects of sediment contamination at several spatial and biological scales, thanks to structural and functional approaches. Our results evidenced a selection in faunistic assemblages in response to contamination, associated with low taxonomic and functional diversity. Our results also evidenced sublethal responses, with niches shifts of invertebrate population and modification of biotic interactions. Sediment contamination has also impacted metabolic functional diversity of bacterial communities and fungal richness and biomass. These biocenotic alterations have resulted in disturbances in ecosystemic processes such as leaf breakdown and benthic flux at the water-sediment interface. Ecosystems downstream dams were also impacted, through resuspension of contaminated sediments, alteration of water quality and cascading effects related to structural and functional responses of reservoirs communities. Our findings evidenced challenges of the sediment quality preservation and the need to develop risk assessment methodologies based on the vulnerability at each biological scale in order to understand and elucidate ecological status and trajectories of aquatic ecosystems, A la fois témoins et acteurs de contamination, les sédiments constituent un élément essentiel des écosystèmes aquatiques qu'il convient de surveiller, évaluer et protéger. Les méthodes actuelles d'évaluation de leurs risques écotoxiques restent peu transférables aux écosystèmes, et ne rendent pas compte de la présence de multiples facteurs de stress abiotiques et biotiques. Les sédiments stockés par les seuils et barrages offrent l'opportunité de développer des méthodes originales de diagnose des réponses biologiques in situ. Six retenues au fil de l'eau dont les sédiments présentent un gradient de contamination métallique et organique ont été étudiées. Les effets de la contamination ont été explorés à différentes échelles spatiales et biologiques via des approches structurelles et fonctionnelles. Dans les retenues, en réponse à l'augmentation de la perturbation chimique, nos résultats montrent une sélection de cortèges faunistiques associée à une réduction de la diversité taxonomique et fonctionnelle. Des réponses sublétales des macroinvertébrés ont été identifiées, notamment sur les niches spatiales, les régimes alimentaires ou la compétition interspécifique. La contamination des sédiments impacte aussi le potentiel métabolique bactérien et la richesse et la biomasse fongique. L'ensemble de ces altérations biocénotiques se traduisent au niveau écosystémique par la rupture du processus de décomposition des litières et la modification des flux benthiques à l'interface eau-sédiment. Les écosystèmes en aval sont également perturbés via la remise en suspension des sédiments contaminés, l?altération de la qualité de l'eau et les effets en cascades des réponses structurelles et fonctionnelles des communautés des retenues. L'ensemble de nos résultats soulignent les enjeux de préservation de la qualité des sédiments et la nécessité de développer des méthodologies intégratives de la vulnérabilité à chaque niveau d'organisation biologique pour mieux appréhender l'état et les trajectoires écologiques des écosystèmes aquatiques

Abstract

Sediment evaluation and monitoring is an essential part of ecosystem monitoring since sediments represent an important component of aquatic habitats and are also a potential source of contamination. Current methodologies of their ecotoxic risk assessment do not encompass ecosystemic responses and do not take into account multiple abiotic and biotic stressors. Run-of-river reservoirs entrap a large amount of sediments and constitute an opportunity to develop original risk assessment methodologies that integrate biological responses in situ and their potential effects for river ecosystem functioning. Six run-of-river reservoirs were selected to study the effects of sediment contamination at several spatial and biological scales, thanks to structural and functional approaches. Our results evidenced a selection in faunistic assemblages in response to contamination, associated with low taxonomic and functional diversity. Our results also evidenced sublethal responses, with niches shifts of invertebrate population and modification of biotic interactions. Sediment contamination has also impacted metabolic functional diversity of bacterial communities and fungal richness and biomass. These biocenotic alterations have resulted in disturbances in ecosystemic processes such as leaf breakdown and benthic flux at the water-sediment interface. Ecosystems downstream dams were also impacted, through resuspension of contaminated sediments, alteration of water quality and cascading effects related to structural and functional responses of reservoirs communities. Our findings evidenced challenges of the sediment quality preservation and the need to develop risk assessment methodologies based on the vulnerability at each biological scale in order to understand and elucidate ecological status and trajectories of aquatic ecosystems; A la fois témoins et acteurs de contamination, les sédiments constituent un élément essentiel des écosystèmes aquatiques qu'il convient de surveiller, évaluer et protéger. Les méthodes actuelles d'évaluation de leurs risques écotoxiques restent peu transférables aux écosystèmes, et ne rendent pas compte de la présence de multiples facteurs de stress abiotiques et biotiques. Les sédiments stockés par les seuils et barrages offrent l'opportunité de développer des méthodes originales de diagnose des réponses biologiques in situ. Six retenues au fil de l'eau dont les sédiments présentent un gradient de contamination métallique et organique ont été étudiées. Les effets de la contamination ont été explorés à différentes échelles spatiales et biologiques via des approches structurelles et fonctionnelles. Dans les retenues, en réponse à l'augmentation de la perturbation chimique, nos résultats montrent une sélection de cortèges faunistiques associée à une réduction de la diversité taxonomique et fonctionnelle. Des réponses sublétales des macroinvertébrés ont été identifiées, notamment sur les niches spatiales, les régimes alimentaires ou la compétition interspécifique. La contamination des sédiments impacte aussi le potentiel métabolique bactérien et la richesse et la biomasse fongique. L'ensemble de ces altérations biocénotiques se traduisent au niveau écosystémique par la rupture du processus de décomposition des litières et la modification des flux benthiques à l'interface eau-sédiment. Les écosystèmes en aval sont également perturbés via la remise en suspension des sédiments contaminés, l?altération de la qualité de l'eau et les effets en cascades des réponses structurelles et fonctionnelles des communautés des retenues. L'ensemble de nos résultats soulignent les enjeux de préservation de la qualité des sédiments et la nécessité de développer des méthodologies intégratives de la vulnérabilité à chaque niveau d'organisation biologique pour mieux appréhender l'état et les trajectoires écologiques des écosystèmes aquatiques

Abstract

Variability in greenhouse gas emissions from reservoirs creates uncertainty in global estimates of C emissions from reservoirs. This study examines the temporal and spatial variability in CO2and CH4surface water concentrations and diffusive fluxes from an Amazonian reservoir using an original data set combining both a high temporal (1 central site × 22 years) and spatial (44 sites × 1 season) resolution monitoring. The gas concentrations at the central site decreased over time and suggested reduced bioavailability of C in the initial flooded soil but exhibited strong seasonal variation. Not accounting for this variability may result in uncertainties in estimates of annual concentrations (ranging from −68.9% to +260% for CH4and from −71.5% to +156% for CO2) and thus in estimates of diffusive gas emissions. Gas concentrations and diffusive fluxes exhibited high spatial variability in the reservoir, 24 years after impoundment. In particular, diffusive fluxes were higher in littoral and transitional areas than in open areas, suggesting a large contribution of allochthonous C to current gaseous emissions. Not accounting for this spatial variability in diffusive fluxes may underestimate the total emissions expressed in CO2equivalents from the whole reservoir by 50.7%. Our study stresses the importance of well‐resolved temporal and spatial monitoring to provide reliable estimated of C emissions and a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved; both of these inputs are needed to support decision‐making for developing energy strategies. While touted as a low carbon source of electricity, some tropical hydropower reservoirs were reported to emit substantial quantities of dioxide carbon and methane. Tropical reservoirs, especially those located in the lowland reaches of Amazon basin, are the greatest reservoir emitters on the planet. Despite this, hundreds of dams are set to be constructed in these areas. In the context of global warming and the expanding growth of hydroelectricity, the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from tropical reservoirs is recognized as a priority. Yet emissions vary greatly in time and space. Such variability has to be addressed to provide reliable estimates of carbon emissions from reservoirs and to guide energy decision‐making. With long‐term monitoring of a 24 year old Amazonian reservoir, we reported high gaseous concentrations in the first years following impoundment due to the mineralization of the large stock of carbon coming from the flooded rainforest. The past 10 years, concentrations have significantly decreased with the reduced bioavailability of flooded carbon. Yet the variability of gaseous concentrations within the reservoir reveals the importance of carbon inputs coming from numerous tributaries and the surrounding rainforest for explaining long‐term emissions from the reservoir. Not accounting for such spatial variability may lead to significant underestimates of gross greenhouse emissions from Amazonian reservoirs. Petit‐Saut reservoir exhibited high temporal and spatial variability in dissolved CO2and CH4concentrationsVariability in dissolved gas concentrations was likely related to heterogeneity of carbon sources that also vary in time and spaceTransitional and littoral areas exhibited higher C emissions than open areas suggesting the importance of allochthonous inputs for the current gross emissions

Abstract

Sediments are an essential component of fluvial ecosystems. They are also quite often a cause of disturbance for fluvial works, such as dams or locks. In order to manage these disturbances without causing adverse impacts downstream, managers should have in hand an efficient assessment framework. The DIESE project (tools for sediment ecotoxicity assessment) aimed to elaborate and test a tiered assessment framework for freshwater sediment sites. We present hereafter the proposed framework, and a pilot test on 17 sites. Basically, the framework intends to provide answers to 2 questions, namely (a) does the sediment contamination present a hazard to benthic invertebrates, and (b) if bioaccumulative/biomagnified contaminants are present, is their concentration worrying? The assessment process can end at any tier, provided the data are conclusive. Sediment quality benchmarks or contamination indices were used to interpret chemical analyses; this assessment was then compared to the results of ecotoxicity tests. Overall, the framework appears consistent; this test also helped selecting the best options for interpretation. Nevertheless, the test included only 17 sites, with a limited array of contaminants; complementary tests including more organic contaminants at a wider range of concentrations would help to demonstrate the validity of this assessment framework.
