The impact of temperature and sediment resuspension on microbial eukaryote recruitment from shallow Baltic Sea sediment [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyGermination from plankton resting stages is often inhibited by burial and anoxic conditions in the sediment. Resuspension of surface sediments by storms might, therefore, represent an important mechanism that facilitates germination.

Modelling the effects of benthic fauna on carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2022 Even though the effects of benthic fauna on aquatic biogeochemistry have been long recognized, few studies have addressed the combined effects of animal bioturbation and metabolism on ecosystem–level carbon and nutrient dynamics. Here we merge a model of

Blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) cultivation in mesohaline eutrophied inner coastal waters: mitigation potential, threats and cost effectiveness [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The EU-water framework directive (WFD) focuses on nutrient reductions to return coastal waters to the good ecological status. As of today, many coastal waters have reached a steady state of insufficient water quality due to continuous external nutrient ...

Distribution of boulders in coastal waters of Western Pomerania, German Baltic Sea
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 This study contributes to a better understanding of geogenic reef distribution in the southern Baltic Sea and highlights the implications of survey-related factors on automated boulder classification when utilizing data from multiple surveys.

The impact of Atlantic Multidecadal Variability on Baltic Sea temperatures limited to winter
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 We analyze multidecadal temperature fluctuations of the Atlantic Ocean and their influence on Northern Europe, focusing on the Baltic Sea, without a priori assuming a linear relationship of this teleconnection. Instead, we use the method of low-frequency

Comparative studies of pelagic microbial methane oxidation within the redox zones of the Gotland Deep and Landsort Deep (central Baltic Sea) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Pelagic methane oxidation was investigated in dependence on differing hydrographic conditions within the redox zone of the Gotland Deep (GD) and Landsort Deep (LD), central Baltic Sea.

Comparison of trace metal bioavailabilities in European coastal waters using mussels from Mytilus edulis [PDF]
, 2010 Mussels from Mytilus edulis complex were used as biomonitors of the trace metals Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, and Cu at 17 sampling sites to assess the relative bioavailability of metals in coastal waters around the European continent.
