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

Marine fungi of the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Vast parts of the Baltic Sea have been mycologically neglected and are still awaiting exploration. Here we summarise earlier records of marine fungi from the Baltic, supplementing them with discoveries from fieldwork in Sweden in 2019. Although marine fungal diversity is clearly attenuated in the brackish water of the Baltic Sea, a substantial number ...

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

Methodological challenges in assessing the environmental status of a marine ecosystem: Case study of the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Assessments of the environmental status of marine ecosystems are increasingly needed to inform management decisions and regulate human pressures to meet the objectives of environmental policies. This paper addresses some generic methodological challenges

Upwelling areas are shaped by enhanced primary production in surface waters, accompanied by a well-investigated planktonic succession. Although bacteria play an important role in biogeochemical cycles of upwelling systems, little is known about bacterial

Nitrate source identification in the Baltic Sea using its isotopic ratios in combination with a Bayesian isotope mixing model [PDF]
Nitrate (NO3−) is the major nutrient responsible for coastal eutrophication worldwide and its production is related to intensive food production and fossil-fuel combustion.

Phytoplankton stimulation in frontal regions of Benguela upwelling filaments by internal factors
Filaments are intrusions of upwelling water into the sea, separated from the surrounding water by fronts. Current knowledge explains the enhanced primary production and phytoplankton growth found in frontal areas by external factors like nutrient input ...
