This is the first comprehensive science-based textbook on the
biology and ecology of the Baltic Sea, one of the world's largest
brackish water bodies. The aim of this book is to provide students
and other readers with knowledge about the conditions for life in
brackish water, the functioning of the Baltic Sea ecosystem and its
environmental problems and management. It highlights biological
variation along the unique environmental gradients of the brackish
Baltic Sea Area (the Baltic Sea, Belt Sea and Kattegat), especially
those in salinity and climate. pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:#262626">The first part of the book presents the
challenges for life processes and ecosystem dynamics that result
from the Baltic Sea's highly variable recent geological history and
geographical isolation. The second part explains interactions
between organisms and their environment, including biogeochemical
cycles, patterns of biodiversity, genetic diversity and evolution,
biological invasions and physiological adaptations. In the third
part, the subsystems of the Baltic Sea ecosystem - the pelagic
zone, the sea ice, the deep soft sea beds, the phytobenthic zone,
the sandy coasts, and estuaries and coastal lagoons - are treated
in detail with respect to the structure and function of communities
and habitats and consequences of natural and anthropogenic
constraints, such as climate change, discharges of nutrients and
hazardous substances. Finally, the fourth part of the book
discusses monitoring and ecosystem-based management to deal with
contemporary and emerging threats to the ecosystem's health.
