Species richness and spatial variation in community composition (ie, beta diversity) are key
measures of biodiversity. They are largely determined by natural factors, but also …

Fucus vesiculosus (here Fucus) is a key species on rocky shores of the Baltic Sea, providing
habitat for a diverse invertebrate community. While the invertebrate species within Fucus …

Land use in the Acid Sulphate (AS) soils induces metal and acidity pollution of aquatic
ecosystems in coastal areas worldwide. Increasing utilization of AS soils poses increasing …

Canopy-forming macroalgae living on rocky bottoms provide valuable ecosystem services
but long-term eutrophication has narrowed their distribution and depth zonation in the Baltic …

Spatial processes are increasingly associated with species distributions in freshwaters.
However, these processes are usually neglected in bioassessment techniques, which may …

Microbial communities contribute greatly to groundwater quality, but the impacts of land‐use
practices on bacteria in groundwaters and groundwater‐dependent ecosystems remain …

Abstract In Northern Finland, the most significant land use challenges are related to
bioenergy production from peat extraction and forest biomass. Increasing societal demand …

Abstract Changes in nutrient and sediment concentrations alter the light availability on the
seafloor, and consequently the aquatic ecosystems. Decreasing light availability limits plant …

We examine how nutrient load compensation could help a firm expand its production when
production is a source of nutrient loads, threatening the ecological status of a water body …

Implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) has set a great challenge on
river basin management planning. Assessing the water quality of lakes and coastal waters …
