Seagrass and seaweed habitats constitute hotspots for diversity and ecosystem services in
coastal ecosystems. These habitats are subject to anthropogenic pressures, of which …

This study includes information about the most common freshwater and marine species from
the genus Cladophora such as classification, taxonomy and morphology, ecology …

Norwegian aquaculture has grown from its pioneering days in the 1970s to be a major
industry. It is primarily based on culturing Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout and has the …

Nutrient loading to coastal bay ecosystems is of a similar magnitude as that to deeper, river-
fed estuaries, yet our understanding of the eutrophication process in these shallow systems …

A reduction in dissolved oxygen concentration is one of the most important direct effects of
nutrient over-enrichment of coastal waters on fishes. Because hypoxia can cause mortality …

Sugar kelp forests (Saccharina latissima) normally dominate the sublittoral rocky sea bed in
medium exposed to sheltered areas of the Norwegian coast. In 2002, a large-scale …

In many coastal areas, marine ecosystems have shifted into contrasting states having
reduced ecosystem services (hereafter called degraded). Such degraded ecosystems may …

We assessed the relative importance of bottom–up and top–down processes in structuring
an eelgrass community in Sweden, a system impacted both by eutrophication and …

Coastal areas are exposed to a variety of threats due to high population densities and rapid
economic development. How will this affect human welfare and our dependence on nature's …

Eutrophication of coastal waters is a global phenomenon. the amounts of nutrients in the
brackish water of the Baltic Sea have increased several times during the last century, with …
