Bacterioplankton communities regulate energy and matter fluxes fundamental to all aquatic
life. The Baltic Sea offers an outstanding ecosystem for interpreting causes and …

Growth of large phytoplankton is considered to be diffusion limited at low nutrient
concentrations, yet their constraints and contributions to carbon (C) and nitrogen fluxes in …

Climate warming is accelerating erosion along permafrost-dominated Arctic coasts. This
results in the additional supply of organic matter (OM) and nutrients into the coastal zone. In …

Coastal ecosystems are affected by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. As the Baltic Sea
ecosystems rank among the most altered marine ecosystems worldwide, they represent …

Frequencies and biomass of Baltic Sea cyanobacterial blooms are expected to be higher in
future climate conditions, but also of longer duration as a result of increased sea surface …

We analysed changes in the abundance, biomass and cell size of the microbial food web
community (bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliates) at contrasting nutrient …

Only a few insect species are known to engage in symbiotic associations with antibiotic-
producing Actinobacteria and profit from this kind of protection against pathogens. However …

One consequence of High Arctic permafrost thawing is the formation of small ponds, which
release greenhouse gases (GHG) from stored carbon through microbial activity. Under a …

The response of heterotrophic bacterioplankton to the addition of macrophytic dissolved
organic matter (DOM) and temperature was investigated in the Red Sea. We added 40 μ mol …

This study investigated the role of microorganisms on the correlation between temperature
changes and disinfection by-product formation in natural waters. Climate changes have …
