Phytoplankton and sea ice algae are traditionally considered to be the main primary producers in Arctic Ocean. In this Perspective, we explore importance of benthic (BPPs) encompassing microalgae, macroalgae, seagrasses, which represent a poorly quantified source marine production. Despite scarce observations, models predict that BPPs widespread, colonizing ~3 million km 2 extensive coastal shelf seas. Using synthesis published data novel model, estimate currently contribute ~77 Tg C y −1...
<p>Algae blooms, specifically cyanobacterial are frequent in the Baltic Sea and pose major environmental problems for marine ecosystem coastal societies. Surface accumulations of algae exacebate eutrophication, limit access to oxygen can be toxic humans life. They affect services including drinking water resources, operations, tourism fishing. Monitoring blooms based on satellite-borne in-situ data have been ongoing years. However, a proper assessment monitoring needs cover...
