title: Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits in the NR71 core from the NIXO 30 expedition by R/V Le Noroit in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the Pacific Ocean

description: From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database.

title: Export fluxes (diatom abundances, particulate organic carbon (POC), diatom carbon) from sediment traps deployed in the Eurasian Arctic Ocean

description: Satellite‐derived data suggest an increase in annual primary production following the loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean. The scarcity of field data to corroborate this enhanced algal production incited a collaborative project combining six annual cycles of sequential sediment trap measurements obtained over a 17‐year period in the Eurasian Arctic Ocean. Here we present microalgal fluxes measured at ~200 m to reflect the bulk of algal carbon production. Ice algae contributed to a large proportion of the microalgal carbon export before complete ice melt and possible detection of their production by satellites. In the northern Laptev Sea, annual microalgal carbon fluxes were lower during the 2007 minimum ice extent than in 2006. In 2012, early snowmelt led to early microalgal carbon flux in the Nansen Basin. Hence, a change in the timing of snowmelt and ice algae release may affect productivity and export over the Arctic basins.

title: Pollen and spore record of lake sediments, the southern part of the Yamal peninsula, Russia

description: Palynological data have been obtained from the lake sediments, the southern part of the Yamal peninsula. For the spore-pollen analysis we used a 30 cm core of bottom sediments from one of the water bodies of the Yerkuta river basin with the code name K1 (68°15.320' N, 69°07.675' E), collected during the expedition in 2014. The study object is a small lake with a surface area of 0.43 km2 and maximum depth of 6.5 m. The water temperature of the lake averaged 9.2°C. Based on the hydrogen index value (pH= 6.93), the lake water was characterized as close to neutral. Based on the palynological analysis of the lake sediments we received a preliminary information on climatic changes, as well as on changes in vegetation character in the area around the water body. Reconstruction of vegetation around the lake has identified the development of a brush-grass-moss tundra. Shrubs are represented by Betula, Alnaster, Salix, Ericaceae. Herbaceous taxa are composed mainly by Cyperaceae, Poaceae with a small admixture of forbs. Mosses are represented by Sphagnum, Lycopodiaceae. It has been found that the lower part of the core from 29 cm to 18 cm formed in a cold and humid climate. The middle part of the column from 18 to 8 cm laid under more favorable conditions - an increase in the total concentration of pollen in the sediments was noticeable. The top of the column from 8 to 0 cm points to cold and humid climate. The vegetation, which produced the pollen at this period, was same to the modern type.

title: Detecting level of wetland encroachment for urban agriculture in Uganda using hyper-temporal remote sensing -Gapmark2016

description: Background: Urbanization is an important indicator of economic growth and social change but is associated with environmental degradation, which threatens sustainable growth of African cities. One of the most vulnerable ecosystems in urban areas are wetlands. In Uganda, wetlands cover an area of 11% of the country's land area. Half of the wetland areas in Ugandan cities have been converted to industry and residential areas, and urban agriculture. There is limited information on the extent of wetland conversion or utilization for urban agriculture. The objective of this study was to investigate the extent of wetlands lost in two Ugandan cities, Wakiso and Kampala, in the last 30 years. Secondly, we demonstrate a simple methodology to monitor agriculture on encroached wetlands.Methods: Using a field survey and free remote sensing data from Landsat TM 1986 and Landsat ETM 2016 we classified the rate of wetland loss and encroachment in the last 30 years. Using MODIS NDVI 16-day composites at 500-meter spatial resolution, we generated distinctive crops and crop mixtures in the encroached wetlands for urban agriculture using the ISODATA clustering algorithm.Results: Over a 30-year period, 72,828 ha (73%) of the Wakiso-Kampala wetlands have been lost. Agriculture area on the other hand doubled. Of the new cultivation area, 16,488 ha (23%) were reclaimed from wetlands. All cultivated agriculture in Kampala was in the wetlands while in Wakiso, 73% of crop agriculture was in the wetlands. The major crops grown in these urban wetlands were banana (20%), sugarcane (22%), maize (17%), Eucalyptus trees (12%), sweet potatoes (10%), while ornamental nurseries, pine trees, vegetables and passion fruits were each at 5%.Conclusions: Current wetland exploitation for food security for urban dwellers may be a trade-off between the provision of food in the short-term and the loss of important ecosystems services in the long-term.
