Summary: The General Ecological Behavior (GEB) scale was developed for cross-cultural applications ( Kaiser & Wilson, in press ). The present study compares ecological behavior in Sweden and Switzerland. Questionnaire data from 247 Swedish and 445 Swiss participants are presented. Reliability and internal consistency analyses revealed that the GEB scale was applicable to both the Swedish and Swiss samples. In general, Swiss behave more ecologically than Swedes. Nevertheless, several ecological behaviors turned out to be easier to conduct in Sweden than in Switzerland and vice versa. The GEB scale takes differential behavior difficulties into account that are most likely caused by situational influences. At the same time, the proposed behavior measurement approach guides the search for potentially useful political actions that make it easier for people to behave ecologically in some societies and, thus, can be adopted by others.

Jinhae Bay

Marine bacteria are known to play significant roles in marine biogeochemical cycles regarding the decomposition of organic matter. Despite the increasing attention paid to the study of marine bacteria, research has been too limited to fully elucidate the complex interaction between marine bacterial communities and environmental variables. Jinhae Bay, the study area in this work, is the most anthropogenically eutrophied coastal bay in South Korea, and while its physical and biogeochemical characteristics are well described, less is known about the associated changes in microbial communities. In the present study, we reconstructed a metagenomics data based on the 16S rRNA gene to investigate temporal and vertical changes in microbial communities at three depths (surface, middle, and bottom) during a seven-month period from June to December 2016 at one sampling site (J1) in Jinhae Bay. Of all the bacterial data, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Cyanobacteria were predominant from June to November, whereas Firmicutes were predominant in December, especially at the middle and bottom depths. These results show that the composition of the microbial community is strongly associated with temporal changes. Furthermore, the community compositions were markedly different between the surface, middle, and bottom depths in summer, when water column stratification and bottom water hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen level) were strongly developed. Metagenomics data contribute to improving our understanding of important relationships between environmental characteristics and microbial community change in eutrophication-induced and deoxygenated coastal areas.
