A roadmap for equitable reuse of public microbiome data
Science benefits from the rapid and open exchange of knowledge. However, there is a lack of appropriate community standards for data exchange between different institutions. In this article the authors discuss improvements for the exchange of extensive microbiome data.
Diel variation in CO2 flux is substantial in many lakes

Europe’s water law needs genomic resolution
The authors recommend a new genetic approach for the obligatory measurements under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Currently, the diversity of phytoplankton – i.e. microalgae – is assessed as a key parameter for water quality using an inverse microscope technique that has been in use since 1958.

Revisiting Cyanobacteria-Temperature Dynamics: Intraspecific Competition and Trait Diversity as Keys to Predicting Harmful Algal Blooms under Climate Change
Where, when, and how FAIR do data from aquatic mesocosm experiments get published?

Fifty years of limnological data on Lake Stechlin, a temperate clearwater lake
The presented dataset from Lake Stechlin covers basic water-chemical and physical records taken at monthly to fortnightly intervals from 1970 to 2020, documenting limnological changes during that period. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable basis to assess and project potential consequences of climate change and other types of environmental change on deep clearwater lakes in temperate climates.
