our third #BESAG2025 keynote speaker is @sarabenelli.bsky.social from the University of Parma. Sara gave us a great talk on #biogeochemical interactions between micro- and macro-organisms #aquatic #lagoon #freshwater 💧💦🌍🧪🪱

I’m a benthic ecologist with a strong interest in biogeochemistry. I’m currently working at the University of Parma on a project focused on the study of the greenhouse gas emissions from wetlands undergoing environmental restoration. www.sarabenelli.com
Fascinating talk from @sarabenelli.bsky.social about the role of macrophytes and macrofauna in controlling freshwater #biogeochemistry and keeping methane locked into #sediments. Really interesting seeing this next to our marine work! @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social @zslofficial.bsky.social
What happens when the whole planet acts like a greenhouse? 🌍 Prof. Marco Bartoli explains how GHGs trap heat — just like glass in a greenhouse. REWET is tracking emissions from wetlands to help turn them into carbon sinks. 🌱 youtube.com/shorts/IYEPk... #ClimateChange #GreenhouseEffect #Wetlands

Greenhouse gas measurements at the gussola oxbow lake (open lab #6) for the @rewet-he.bsky.social project
“Towards a whole-system approach for ecosystem science” - the motto of eLTER Science Conference 2025, taking place from 23-27 June in Tampere, Finland #eLTERcommunity 🩷
Sara Benelli is having a talk at @elter-ri.eu conference about @rewet-he.bsky.social project: Greenhouse gas fluxes in an oxbow lake and its exposed sediments during periods of hydraulic connection and disconnection.
The largest flood in recent years Last week, the Po River reached a discharge level not seen in years. On Sunday, April 20th, 2025, the flow peaked at around 8,000 m3/s. At the Gussola oxbow lake—Open Lab 6 of the REWET project—the river overflowed its banks, flooding the surrounding fields for…
The largest flood in recent years
Last week, the Po River reached a discharge level not seen in years. On Sunday, April 20th, 2025, the flow peaked at around 8,000 m3/s. At the Gussola oxbow lake—Open Lab 6 of the REWET project—the river overflowed its banks, flooding the surrounding fields for nearly a kilometer. All the riparian zones were inundated, and for several days, water remained on the land, most of which is normally used for poplar cultivation.

Celebrating Wetlands on World Wetlands Day!
The Gussola oxbow lake in Cremona Province underwent a requalification intervention during the early phase of the REWET project (March 2023), which involved reconnecting the oxbow lake to the Po River. Before the intervention, the oxbow lake was largely disconnected from the Po River due to navigation groins, leading to water scarcity, stagnation, and hypoxia. The requalification intervention included lowering a navigation groin, which is expected to help mitigate further incision processes by distributing the transport capacity between the main course of the Po River and the oxbow lake.
