The Baltic Sea is affected by a range of human induced environmental pressures such as
eutrophication. Here we synthesize the ongoing shift from diatom dominance toward more …

Phytoplankton blooms are dynamic phenomena of great importance to the functioning of
estuarine and coastal ecosystems. We analysed a unique (large) collection of phytoplankton …

Spring phytoplankton blooms contribute a substantial part to annual production, support
pelagic and benthic secondary production and influence biogeochemical cycles in many …

The algal spring bloom in the Baltic Sea represents an anomaly from the winter-spring
bloom patterns worldwide in terms of frequent and recurring dominance of dinoflagellates …

Assessments of the environmental status of the Baltic Sea as called for by the Marine
Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) must be based on a set of indicators. A pre-core …

Light (20-450 μmol photons m-2 s-1), temperature (3-11° C) and inorganic nutrient
composition (nutrient replete and N, P and Si limitation) were manipulated to study their …

Microalgae are the main source of the omega‐3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), essential for the healthy development of most marine and …

In recent decades, the phytoplankton community in parts of the Baltic Sea has shifted from
diatom dominance to co-occurrence of diatoms and dinoflagellates during the spring bloom …

The shift of diatom dominance to combination of diatom and dinoflagellate dominance in the
Bohai Sea (BS), China might be associated with the change of dissolved nitrogen (DN). This …

The Arctic Ocean is particularly affected by climate change, with changes in sea ice cover
expected to impact phytoplankton primary production. During the Green Edge expedition …
