Due to low salinity and lack of hard substrata, the Baltic Sea and Kattegat area and German
and Danish North Sea coasts are characterized by a relatively low diversity of seaweeds. At …

The structure of benthic macrophyte habitats is known to indicate the quality of coastal water.
Thus, a large-scale analysis of the spatial patterns of coastal marine habitats enables us to …

Vegetated soft bottoms are under pressure due to a number of anthropogenic stressors,
such as coastal exploitation and eutrophication. The ecological value of these biotopes has …

Accurate determination of the water depth is important for marine spatial planning,
producing maritime charts for navigation, seabed morphology studies, and carrying out …

Remote sensing is a valuable tool for surveying submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV)
distribution patterns at extensive spatial and temporal scales. Only regular mapping over …

The extracellular release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from marine macroalgae
supports coastal ecosystem function by supplying photosynthetically fixed carbon to higher …

Charophytes are submerged macroalgae with well-developed thallus and complex
morphology, which can be found in fresh and brackish water bodies. The order Charales …

Up to date, there have been only a few reports on the measurement of YAN and/or its
components using IR spectroscopy, suffering from various limitations (number of samples …

In this study six pilot marine areas were mapped in the Estonian coastal sea with the aim of
assessing the spatial distribution of shallow-water benthic habitats and analysing how …

The results of the recent (2014-2015) inventory and three historical datasets (1949-1959,
1960-1980 and 1997-2007) were analyzed in order to track the long-term changes of …
