Response to Changing Oceanography in the Dove Time Series: a Northumberland Plankton Community Study Response to Changing Oceanography in the Dove Time Series: a Northumberland Plankton Community Study Malcolm Charles Baptie Submitted for Doctor of Philosophy School of Marine Science and Technology November 2013 Abstract The Dove Time Series is a plankton monitoring station in the Northumberland coastal sea which has been sampled since 1969. Over the 20th century, major changes have occurred in the North Sea plankton which have in part correlated with oscillation in atmospheric mass over the Northern Hemisphere, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Westerly winds when the NAO is positive phase block northern low pressure systems and transport warm Atlantic water into the North Sea extending stratification, leading to greater phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplankton biomass in the central North Sea reached a sustained higher level after 1985. Phytoplankton, zooplankton and ichthyoplankton datasets were created or extended from the Dove Time Series to study the effect of oceanographic change at this location. There was a change to a high abundance community 10 years later, in 1995. The most important predictor of phytoplankton abundance was not the NAO index, but the Atlantic Meridional Oscillation (AMO), which exhibits 60-100 year and subordinate 11 and 14 year periodicity, describing a deviation from the long term sea surface temperature (SST) mean in the North Atlantic. Phytoplankton periodicity partly matched the 14 year period in the AMO, which correlates with a feedback mechanism of westerly versus northerly wind in the North Atlantic, regulating ocean-atmosphere heat flux. Zooplankton abundance was predicted by SST and ratio of maximum to minimum abundance by phytoplankton/AMO. Oceanographic conditions that were contemporary with the state of the AMO anomaly after 1995 promoted higher spring phytoplankton abundance and neritic copepod abundance peaks. Ichthyoplankton variability was not synchronous with these lower order changes, probably as a result of different effects on adult fish. The cyclical nature of the AMO means both low and high biomass communities observed in the Dove Time Series are part of one regime. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my principal supervisor, Dr Jane Delany, for her support and her wisdom in guiding me during this study. Through her patient, assured and honest input, the reader has mercifully avoided the confused and disjointed collection of points they would otherwise have had to confront. I thank her for all of this, and for her friendship. Professor Matt Bentley deserves thanks for some kind words, spoken at the right time. Thanks are due to both Dr Richard Gowen and Dr Roy Sanderson for their criticism of the first submission. Their comments in person and on paper were valuable in reshaping and bringing focus to this thesis. Thanks are due to Dr Eileen Bresnan, of Marine Scotland Science, who was generous with her time and attention in assisting me in learning phytoplankton taxonomy, and continues to inform my views on plankton research. The crews of the R.V. Bernicia were of course crucial to the past and continuing success of the Dove Time Series, and for those I have worked with personally I thank them for going out in all weathers, and for their company and interest in my own part of the Dove Time Seres story. My gratitude goes to the Natural Environment Research Council for their funding during this PhD. Lastly my thanks go to my wife Suhaine, who has proved herself to have the patience of a saint while I have been working on this. She has my solemn promise that we'll get out the house now. ii Table of Contents Chapter 1.

  • Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions WATER QUALITY 13.2.1. The principal water quality data sources that have been used to inform this study are: • Environment Agency (EA) WFD classification status and reporting (e.g. EA 2015); and • EA long-term water quality monitoring data for the tidal Thames. Environment Agency WFD Classification Status 13.2.2. The tidal River Thames is divided into three transitional water bodies as part of the Thames River Basin Management Plan (EA 2015) (Thames Upper [ID GB530603911403], Thames Middle [ID GB53060391140] and Thames Lower [ID GB530603911401]. Each of these waterbodies are classified as heavily modified waterbodies (HMWBs). The most recent EA assessment carried out in 2016, confirms that all three of these water bodies are classified as being at Moderate ecological potential (EA 2018). 13.2.3. The Thames Estuary at the London Resort Project Site is located within the Thames Middle Transitional water body, which is a heavily modified water body on account of the following designated uses (Cycle 2 2015-2021): • Coastal protection; • Flood protection; and • Navigation. 13.2.4. The downstream extent of the Thames Middle transitional water body is located approximately 12 km downstream of the Kent Project Site and 8 km downstream of the Essex Project Site near Lower Hope Point. Downstream of this location is the Thames Lower water body which extends to the outer Thames Estuary. 13.2.5. A summary of the current Thames Middle water body WFD status is presented in Table A13.2.1, together with those supporting elements that do not currently meet at least Good status and their associated objectives.

The checklist is based on a long-term survey involving the 20 oceanographic cruises. The material for this study comprises water and net samples collected from 647 sites. Most species were identified in water mounts and permanent slides, and in a few cases a transmission or scanning electron microscope was used. The most diverse genera in both water and the net samples were Chaetoceros (44 spp.), Thalassiosira (23 spp.), Nitzschia (25 spp.), Amphora (16 spp.), Diploneis (16 spp.), Rhizosolenia (14 spp.) and Coscinodiscus (13 spp.). The most frequent species in net and water samples were, Actinoptychus senarius, Asteromphalus heptactis, Bacteriastrum delicatulum, Cerataulina pelagica, Chaetoceros didymus, C. diversus, C. lorenzianus, C.

Prof. Dr. Ulf Karsten Universität Rostock, Institut für Biowissenschaften Albert-Einstein-Str. 3, 18059 Rostock 2. Prof. Dr. Anya Waite Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung Am Handelshafen 12, 27570 Bremerhaven Datum der Einreichung: 03.08.2017 Datum der Verteidigung: 11.12.2017 ii Abstract Species distribution models (SDM) are a widely used and well-established method for biogeographical research on terrestrial organisms. Though already used for decades, experience with marine species is scarce, especially for protists. More and more obser- vation data, sometimes even aggregated over centuries, become available also for the marine world, which together with high-quality environmental data form a promising base for marine SDMs. In contrast to these SDMs, typical biogeographical studies of diatoms only considered observation data from a few transects. Species distribution methods were evaluated for marine pelagic diatoms in the South- ern Ocean at the example of F. kerguelensis. Based on the experience with these models, SDMs for further species were built to study biogeographical patterns. The anthropogenic impact of climate change on these species is assessed by model projec- tions on future scenarios for the end of this century. Besides observation data from public data repositories such as GBIF, own observa- tions from the Hustedt diatom collection were used. The models presented here rely on so-called presence only observation data.
