During several cruises in the southern Baltic Sea conducted in different seasons from 2014
to 2016, sediment cores were collected for the investigation of pore-water biogeochemistry …

The current biodiversity crisis warrants accurate measuring of biodiversity, often achieved by
counting species or higher taxonomic units, with morphological or molecular methods …
