  2. 1. Macroalgae in the Baltic Sea : responses to low salinity and nutrient enrichment in Ceramium and Fucus

    Author : Lena Bergström; Lars Ericson; Lena Kautsky; Erik Bonsdorff; Christine A Maggs; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; adaptation; asexual reproduction; Baltic Sea; Gulf of Bothnia; salinity; macroalgae; nutrients; sexual reproduction; stress; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Abstract : The brackish Baltic Sea is a marginal environment for both marine and freshwater species. The rate of ecological differentiation is presumably high due to strong selection pressure from a gradient of decreasing salinity that has been present in its current state for only about 3 000 years.

  4. 2. Ocean Climate Variability over Recent Centuries Explored by Modelling the Baltic Sea

    Author : Daniel Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; ocean climate; modelling; reconsstruction; water temperature; sea ice; river runoff; salinity; oxygen concentration; long-term;

    Abstract : Natural variability and anthropogenic factors both contribute to changes in the ocean climate of the Baltic Sea. Observations over the past century indicate that changes in environmental settings and ocean climate have taken place, attracting considerable media attention and building public awareness of climate and environmental issues related to the Baltic Sea.

  5. 3. Ecophysiological responses of Baltic and Atlantic Fucus vesiculosus to environmental factors

    Author : Charlotta A Nygård; Nils Ekelund; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acclimation; Atlantic; Baltic Sea; Bothnian Sea; Cd; Fucus vesiculosus; growth; high PAR; Pb; photosynthesis; salinity; stress; UV-B; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The Baltic Sea is a species-poor ecosystem where marine species coexist with freshwater species. The Baltic Sea offers low salinity, low content of inorganic carbon, long cold winters and no tides. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Baltic Sea marine system - human impact and natural variations

    Author : Erik Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; modelling; salinity; oxygen; nutrients; eutrophication; acidification; climate;

    Abstract : 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 properties of the straits separating the different sub-basins. READ MORE

  7. 5. Testing palaeomagnetic and 14C based geochronological methods in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Bryan Lougheed; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; coastal; geochronology; palaeomagnetic secular variation; PSV; radiocarbon; 14C; reservoir age; R t ; ΔR; salinity; δ18O; geomagnetic field; Holocene; deglacial; Fennoscandia.;

    Abstract : The Baltic Sea is a continental shelf sea that is influenced by both river runoff and marine water. The two water masses are vertically stratified in the Baltic Sea, resulting in a positive, estuarine circulation system, which has undergone changes in the past due to isostatic uplift of the Baltic basin.
