The global demand for renewable energy is on the rise. Expansion of onshore wind energy
is in many parts of the world limited by societal acceptance, and also ecological impacts are …

Benthic–pelagic coupling is manifested as the exchange of energy, mass, or nutrients
between benthic and pelagic habitats. It plays a prominent role in aquatic ecosystems, and it …

Marine litter is one of the problems marine ecosystems face at present, coastal habitats and
food webs being the most vulnerable as they are closest to the sources of litter. A range of …

Marine management plans over the world express high expectations to the development of
offshore wind energy. This would obviously contribute to renewable energy production, but …

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 …

There is now general consensus that climate change is a global threat and a challenge for

The hypoxic zone in the Baltic Sea has increased in area about four times since 1960 and
widespread oxygen deficiency has severely reduced macro benthic communities below the …

We modelled and assessed the past, present and predicted future eutrophication status of
the Baltic Sea. The assessment covers a 350-year period from 1850 to 2200 and is based …

An important function of coastal ecosystems is the reduction of the nutrient flux from land to
the open sea, the coastal filter. In this study, we focused on the two most important coastal …
