Factors regulating the coastal nutrient filter in the Baltic Sea
The coastal zone of the Baltic Sea is diverse with strong regional differences in the physico-
chemical setting. This diversity is also reflected in the importance of different biogeochemical …

Estimating respiration rates and secondary production of macrobenthic communities across coastal habitats with contrasting structural biodiversity
A central goal of benthic ecology is to describe the pathways and quantities of energy and
material flow in seafloor communities over different spatial and temporal scales. We …

Sediment properties, biota, and local habitat structure explain variation in the erodibility of coastal sediments
Sediment resuspension is a frequent phenomenon in coastal areas and a key driver for
many ecosystem functions. Sediment resuspension is often linked to biological and …

Contribution of macroalgal wrack consumers to dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations in intertidal pore waters of sandy beaches
Sandy beaches are widespread ecosystems that often sustain food webs with allochthonous
subsidies of organic matter. We examined the contribution of intertidal talitrid amphipods, a …

Role of eelgrass in the coastal filter of contrasting Baltic Sea environments
Coastal ecosystems act as filters of nutrients from land to the open sea. We investigated the
role of eelgrass (Zostera marina) metabolism in the coastal filter transforming nitrogen …
