The Carbon Dioxide System in the Baltic Sea Surface Waters
(2011-05-26)
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is steadily increasing because of human activities such as fossil fuel burning. To understand how this is affecting the planet, several pieces of knowledge of the ...
Assessment of dietary patterns and prey consumption of marine mammals: Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) in the Baltic Sea
(2012-02-09)
The Baltic Sea has been severely affected by pollution and resource overexploitation during the last centuries. The grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) is a good example of how a species can be affected by such changes. In the ...
On the ecophysiology of Baltic cyanobacteria focusing on bottom-up factors
(2010-11-05)
Cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea are dominated by diazotrophic cyanobacteria, i.e. Aphanizomenon sp. and Nodularia spumigena. The blooms coincide with a stable stratification and the organisms are concentrated to ...
Modelling the Dissolved Inorganic Carbon System in the Baltic Sea
(2013-10-04)
Oceans are capable of storing part of the emitted anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) due to the formation of carbonic acid and subsequent dissociation. CO2 is also assimilated by biota and the inorganic carbon system is ...
Influence of resuspension on sediment-water solute exchange and particle transport in marine environments
(2011-11-24)
Marine sediments contain a large pool of nutrients, which if released would contribute to increased eutrophication, in spite of decreased nutrient loads from land and atmosphere. Resuspension is a process, which might ...
Phosphorus recycling in brackish and marine environments - Sediment investigations in situ in the Baltic Sea and the By Fjord
(2012-11-29)
The phosphorus load to the oceans from land started to increase since around 1950 when man started to mine phosphorus-mineral from phosphorus-rich soils and bedrock. The increased use of phosphorus fertilizers in agriculture ...
Adaptation to the Baltic Sea – the case of isopod genus Idotea
(2013-05-16)
The three marine isopods of the genus Idotea: I. balthica, I. chelipes and I. granulosa have an important functional role as meso-grazers in the Baltic food web. These meso-grazers are key species in the Fucus belt and in ...
Carbon cycling in Baltic Sea sediments – In situ investigations with benthic landers
(2018-05-25)
Coastal seas, estuaries and continental shelves are the connection between land and the open ocean, and due to high productivity and strong influence from land a majority of the marine organic carbon (OC) cycling and ...
The Baltic Sea marine system - human impact and natural variations
(2010-09-07)
The environmental state of the Baltic Sea system is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors. Water exchange with the adjacent ocean and within the system depend on large-scale atmospheric circulation and ...
The Marine Carbonate System: Ionic Interactions and Biogeochemical Processes
(2014-05-07)
The absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by seawater and subsequent
equilibrium reactions within this ionic medium give rise to a complex chemical
system often referred to as the marine carbonate system. This ...
