Effects of carbon dioxide on biomass and species composition of a natural...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions contribute to an increased mean temperature of the Earth and ocean acidification. The environmental changes give great concern for biodiversity and future environmental...
View ArticleEffects of seawater pCO2 and temperature on shell growth, shell stability,...
Acidification of the World’s oceans may directly impact reproduction, performance and shell formation of marine calcifying organisms. In addition, since shell production is costly and stress in general...
View ArticleModelling the dissolved inorganic carbon system in the Baltic Sea
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...
View ArticleProjected marine climate change: effects on copepod oxidative status and...
Zooplankton are an important link between primary producers and fish. Therefore, it is crucial to address their responses when predicting effects of climate change on pelagic ecosystems. For realistic...
View ArticleImpact of CO2 enrichment on organic matter dynamics during nutrient induced...
A mesocosm experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of rising fCO2 on the build-up and decline of organic matter during coastal phytoplankton blooms. Five mesocosms (∼38 m³ each) were...
View ArticleEffect of carbon dioxide-induced water acidification on the physiological...
Survival, behavior, hemolymph pH, osmolality, and chloride ion concentration as well the total metabolic rate (heat dissipation rate) of the isopod Saduria entomon from the brackish Baltic Sea were...
View ArticleBiogeochemical control of the coupled CO2–O2 system of the Baltic Sea: a...
Past, present, and possible future changes in the Baltic Sea acid–base and oxygen balances were studied using different numerical experiments and a catchment–sea model system in several scenarios...
View ArticleCoping with climate change? Copepods experience drastic variations in their...
Migratory zooplankton, such as copepods experience widely varying conditions in their physicochemical environment on a diurnal basis. The amplitude of the fluctuations may affect the copepods’ ability...
View ArticleMultiple stressors threatening the future of the Baltic Sea–Kattegat marine...
The paper discusses the combined effects of ocean acidification, eutrophication and climate change on the Baltic Sea and the implications for current management strategies. The scientific basis is...
View ArticleEffect on pCO2 by phytoplankton uptake of dissolved organic nutrients in the...
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been added to an existing biogeochemical model and the phytoplankton were allowed to utilize the dissolved organic nutrients for primary production. The results show...
View ArticleJuvenile sea stars exposed to acidification decrease feeding and growth with...
Ocean acidification has the potential to affect growth and calcification of benthic marine invertebrates, particularly during their early life history. We exposed field-collected juveniles of Asterias...
View ArticleMetabolic rate and activity of blue mussel Mytilus edulis trossulus under...
This work investigated the effect of carbon dioxide-induced decreased water pH (8.1 – control, 7.5 and 7.0), oxygen saturation (~100% and ~20%) and the combination of both factors on the behaviour...
View ArticleImpact of seawater carbonate chemistry on the calcification of marine bivalves
Bivalve calcification, particular of the early larval stages is highly sensitive to the change of ocean carbonate chemistry resulting from atmospheric CO2 uptake. Earlier studies suggested that...

View ArticleOcean acidification and desalination: climate-driven change in a Baltic Sea...
Helcom scenario modelling suggests that the Baltic Sea, one of the largest brackish-water bodies in the world, could expect increased precipitation (decreased salinity) and increased concentration of...
View ArticleGrowth response of calcifying marine epibionts to biogenic pH fluctuations...
In coastal marine environments, physical and biological forces can cause dynamic pH fluctuations from microscale (diffusive boundary layer [DBL]) up to ecosystem‐scale (benthic boundary layer [BBL])....
View ArticleA system for the determination of surface water pCO2 in a highly variable...
Highlights The system for pCO2 measurements, data storage and ship-to-shore transmission is presented. In the open Baltic Sea waters the pCO2 measurements obtained an accuracy of ±1.3 µatm met the...
View ArticleBiokinetics of 110m Ag in Baltic shrimp Palaemon adspersus under elevated pCO2
Ocean acidification impacts the physiology of crustaceans as well as marine calcifiers although most of the hitherto studies has focused on calcifiers. Bioconcentration of elements in a marine animal...
