Climate change has multiple effects on Baltic Sea species, communities and ecosystem
functioning through changes in physical and biogeochemical environmental characteristics …

Recent changes in oceanic plankton are being reported at unprecedented rates. Most
changes are related to environmental factors, and many were identified as driven by climate …

Worldwide, ecosystems are suffering important taxonomic and functional modifications in
response to anthropogenic disturbances, operating at multiple spatial and temporal scales …

The planktonic realm from bacteria to zooplankton provides the baseline for pelagic aquatic
food webs. However, multiple trophic levels are seldomly included in time series studies …

The Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) stock is currently in a very poor state, with low
biomass and adverse trends in several life history and demographic parameters. This raises …

The management of the western Baltic cod relies on a combination of regulation tools,
including a seasonal spawning fishing closure. The complex population dynamics of the …

We assess the ecosystem services across the entire Baltic Sea using ecosystem model
simulations and historical socio-economic data. Our approach covers 150 years, aggregated …

Hypoxia is presently seen as the principal driver behind the decline of the former dominating
Eastern Baltic cod stock (EBC; Gadus morhua). It has been proposed that both worsening …

We used dynamic food web modeling to assess the trophic effects of the increased
abundance of the invasive Round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas, 1814) on …

Simple Summary This study provides full-coverage maps of the habitats and biotopes in the
German Baltic Sea at an unprecedented level of resolution. We combined geological and …
