Status of Biodiversity in the Baltic Sea

PLoS ONE, 2010
The brackish Baltic Sea hosts species of various origins and environmental tolerances. These immigrated to the sea 10,000 to 15,000 years ago or have been introduced to the area over the relatively recent history of the system. The Baltic Sea has only one known endemic species.

The impact of temperature and sediment resuspension on microbial eukaryote recruitment from shallow Baltic Sea sediment [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Germination 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 ...

Methane emissions offset atmospheric carbon dioxide uptake in coastal macroalgae, mixed vegetation and sediment ecosystems

Nature Communications, 2023
Coastal ecosystems are promoted as nature-based solutions to climate change. Here, the authors show that natural methane emissions across a variety of vegetated and unvegetated coastal habitats can, however, offset one-third of the carbon sink capacity ...

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.

Climate Change in the Baltic Sea : 2021 Fact Sheet [PDF]

, 2021
Climate change effects on the Baltic Sea environment are manifold. It is for example expected that water temperature and sea level will rise, and sea ice cover will decrease.

Spatial variability of greenhouse gas concentrations and fluxes in shallow coastal bays of the western Baltic Sea [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Coastal ecosystems play a crucial role in greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics but are less studied than open oceans or terrestrial systems. This study measured concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) in six shallow bays ...
