Palaeoecological Conditions in the South-Eastern and Western Baltic Sea during the Last Millennium
We present the reconstruction of palaeoenvironmental conditions in the Gdansk, Bornholm, and Arkona Basins of the Baltic Sea over the last millennium. A multiproxy study (including geochemical, XRF, grain size, AMS, and micropalaeontological analyses) of five short sediment cores was performed.

Abstract Reports have suggested dramatic shifts in the calanoid assemblage of the Northeast Atlantic, with warm‐water species expanding northwards at the expense of cold‐water congeners. This is considered a serious threat to lipid‐fueled higher trophic levels, as warm‐water copepods are typically smaller with lower lipid content.

Abstract Extreme Sea Level (ESL) poses a high risk to coastal communities and infrastructure, with its frequency and intensity projected to increase in the future. In this study, we focus on the storm surge component of sea level variability, a key contributor to extreme still water levels during storms.

The paper provides original data that shed light on the formation dynamics of Lake Chaika, which is situated in the central part of the Curonian Spit and is the only large water body in the sand spits of the southeastern Baltic.

Coastal Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Silicon Sources: Integrating Land, Sea, and Human Inputs
Abstract Land‐based human activities have greatly increased inputs of nutrients (nitrogen [N] and phosphorus [P]) to the coastal zone, while also decreasing silicon (Si) export. Here we present a novel synthesis of N, P, and Si sources to coastal waters and use that data set to evaluate: (a) the amount, global spatial distribution, and proportion of N,

Investigating Layered Cratonic Lithosphere in the Fennoscandian Shield
Abstract Cold, thick, and chemically depleted lithosphere with high seismic velocity and low attenuation characterizes continental cratons. However, discrepancies between xenolith‐based thermal constraints and those inferred from surface‐wave seismic models, together with the widespread observation of mid‐lithosphere discontinuities, challenge the ...

The Importance and Mechanics of Near‐Seafloor Oxygenation Events in Shallow Coastal Environments
Abstract Bottom‐water oxygen (O2) possibly constitutes the strongest regulating factor on ecosystem function of the seafloor environment. The conventional view of bottom‐water O2 regulation in temperate regions is a strong seasonal variability imposed by deposition of fresh, labile organic carbon following the spring and fall plankton bloom generating ...

Abstract The Fennoscandian Shield potentially hosts the longest continuous habitable conditions for Earth's deep biosphere. Billion‐year equilibrium freeboard conditions of cratons and the longevity of deep biosphere microbial communities are directly related through the thermal histories of rocks that host these communities.

While border infrastructure disrupts wildlife movement, conservation interventions need not hinge on resolving the broader conflicts that created these barriers. Instead, targeted measures—including wildlife passages through existing barriers, improved landscape permeability at rivers and less hazardous security technologies—can help mitigate ...
