The Baltic Sea is a shallow, semi-enclosed brackish sea suffering like many other coastal seas from eutrophication caused by human impact. Hence, nutrient load abatement strategies are intensively discussed. With the help of high-resolution, coupled physical-biogeochemical circulation model we investigate combined impact changing loads land and climate during 21st century as projected global regionalized to region. Novel compared previous studies an extraordinary spin-up based upon...
To assess the impact of implementation Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) on future environmental status Sea, already available uncoordinated multi-model ensemble simulations for region 21st century were analyzed. The scenario driven by regionalized global general circulation model (GCM) data using several regional climate system models and forced various greenhouse gas emission air- river-borne nutrient load scenarios following either reference conditions or BSAP. estimate uncertainties in...
Many coastal seas worldwide are affected by human impacts such as eutrophication causing, inter alia, oxygen depletion and extensive areas of hypoxia. Depending on the region, global warming may reinforce these environmental changes reducing air-sea fluxes, intensifying internal nutrient cycling increasing river-borne loads. The development appropriate management plans to effectively protect marine environment requires projections future ecosystem states. However, with regional climate...
This paper studies the relative importance of societal drivers and changing climate on anthropogenic nutrient inputs to Baltic Sea. Shared Socioeconomic Pathways Representative Concentration are extended at temporal spatial scales relevant for most contributing sectors. Extended socioeconomic scenarios then used as spatially temporally detailed models population land use change, their subsequent impact loading is computed. According model simulations, several factors varying influence may...
Following earlier regional assessment studies, such as the Assessment of Climate Change for Baltic Sea Basin and North Region Assessment, knowledge from available literature about future scenario simulations biogeochemical cycles in their uncertainties is assessed. Uncertainties these projections are caused by climate model (including global models experimental setup), unknown nutrient load greenhouse gas emissions (or concentrations) natural variability. The determination reduction...
Dynamic energy budget models for growth of individual cockles ( Cerastoderma edule ) and mussels Mytilus edulis are adjusted calibrated to the Oosterschelde by formulating parametrizing their functional responses using an extensive set field observations. The resulting model predictions fit observations satisfactorily. Results indicate that food quality importance detritus as a source site-specific well species-specific. Despite these differences in parameter values, both species show very...
We developed numerical simulations of potential future ecological states the Baltic Sea ecosystem at end century under five scenarios. used a spatial food web (Ecospace) model, forced by physical-biogeochemical model. The scenarios are built on consistent storylines that describe plausible developments climatic and socioeconomic factors in region. Modelled species diversity fish catches driven climate- nutrient load-related changes habitat quality fisheries management strategies. Our results...
Abstract In this study we investigate if eutrophication management has the potential to substantially affect which areas are going be most suitable for commercial fishing in future. We use a spatial ecosystem model, forced by coupled physical-biogeochemical simulate distribution of functional groups within marine ecosystem, depends on their respective tolerances abiotic factors, trophic interactions, and fishing. future long-term developments community composition implications fisheries...

Abstract Aquatic ecosystem services are important for human wellbeing, but they much less studied than terrestrial services. The objectives of this study to broaden, itemize and exemplify the human‐nature interactions in modeling future provision aquatic We include shared socioeconomic representative concentration pathways, used extensively climate research, as drivers change development Baltic Sea. Then we use biogeochemical models demonstrate exemplary supporting, provisioning cultural two...
Abstract. The co-variation of key variables with simulated phytoplankton biomass in the Baltic proper has been examined using wavelet analysis and results a long-term simulation for 1850–2008 high-resolution coupled physical–biogeochemical circulation model Sea. By focusing on inter-annual variations, it is possible to track effects acting decadal timescales such as temperature increase due climate change well changes nutrient input. strongest coherence indicates that variations are...
