A close cooperation with Norway and Estonia explores the reasons for increasing ocean transports through the Barents Sea opening. Today, the relatively warm and salty waters, that originate for the Atlantic Ocean, have an increasing impact on the Barents Sea…
Nitrogen fixers, are microorganisms that fix nitrogen from the air, making it available for ecosystems. It is known that they grow rather slowly so that they are easily taken advantage of by fast-growing algae – unless there is a lack of bioavailable…
Blue-green algae (or cyanobacteria) form regularly massive blooms in the Baltic Sea – especially in late summer. The bacteria can produce toxins and add bioavailable nitrogen fixed from the atmosphere to the already over-fertilized system. In the presented study, high-resolution…
