  • Biogeochemical Transformations in the Baltic Sea

    Observations Through Carbon Dioxide Glasses

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a comprehensive review of the biogeochemistry in the Baltic Sea. It is based on the fact that biogeochemical processes that are relevant for the ecological state of the Baltic Sea (and other sea areas), are all in some way related to the production and mineralization of organic matter (biomass) and thus are associated with the consumption or release of CO2. The significant ... Read more
