Summary: Nitrogen fixation rates in the Baltic Sea are high, but knowledge about the composition and distribution of diazotrophs is limited. This study reveals that Pseudanabaena and non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs dominate the composition, while filamentous heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria account for most of the nitrogenase gene expression. Salinity has some influence on the composition, and different diazotrophs show varying expression levels at different salinities.

Summary: The transport of terrestrial carbon through river systems to the coast has a negative impact on coastal oxygen concentrations. However, there is a lack of information on seasonal variation and the impact of catchment composition on the bioavailability of this carbon. This study investigates the reactivity of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) at river mouths originating from agricultural or forested catchments over a year, and finds that factors such as total nitrogen, total phosphorus, DOC concentration, and carbon composition influence carbon bioavailability. Management efforts to reduce the transport of bioavailable carbon would be most effective during spring and autumn, focusing on rivers with agricultural and forest-dominated catchments.

Summary: This study found that the shells of the bivalve mollusk, Arctica islandica, can be used as proxies for measuring dissolved oxygen levels in water. The study also evaluated the potential use of two other bivalves, Astarte elliptica and Astarte borealis, as alternative and interchangeable proxies for dissolved oxygen. The results showed that all three species had statistically significant and inverse correlations with dissolved oxygen concentrations. Astarte elliptica may provide slightly more precise dissolved oxygen data, but has a shorter lifespan. Both Astarte species showed stronger correlations with dissolved oxygen compared to Arctica islandica.

Summary: This study compared the short term impacts of fishing pressure with the variability induced by environmental drivers on quantitative benthic community impact indicators. The results showed that demersal fishing had evident impacts on all indicators, especially in soft muddy and sandy habitats and during the second quarter of the year. Additionally, all environmental drivers, especially current speed, had significant impacts on all indicators, which were of the same or larger magnitude as fishing impacts. Therefore, when using quantitative benthic fishing impact indicators, the short term influence of environmental drivers and seasonal differences in fishing pressure should be considered.

Summary: Marine sublittoral sandbanks in the southern North Sea serve as important feeding grounds for larger crustaceans, fish, and seabirds. However, sandbanks in the southeastern North Sea have been poorly studied until now. Through analyzing extensive datasets, it was found that these sandbanks have complex spatial structuring and share common structural features in their benthic communities. The presence of the sea urchin Echinocardium cordatum in the sandbanks may promote sediment-bound biogeochemical activity, highlighting their high ecological value and the need for marine conservation.

Summary: The Baltic Sea is an excellent region for studying oxygen depletion processes. Reconstructing past low-oxygen occurrences is crucial to understanding current ecological disturbances and developing mitigation strategies. A high-resolution dissolved oxygen record since the mid-19th century was reconstructed from Manganese/Shell values of Arctica islandica collected in the Mecklenburg Bight, showing similar low oxygenation events in the late 19th century and late 20th century, but with increased variability. The study highlights the importance of conducting more high-resolution retrospective studies to improve the management and protection of ecosystems in the Baltic Sea.

Summary: In 2015, we examined the macrozoobenthic community composition in the deep trough of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, along a dissolved oxygen gradient. Our findings showed that the dominant communities shifted from molluscs to polychaetes as oxygen saturation decreased. Surprisingly, the estuary stations with the lowest oxygen saturation levels had the highest species diversity, density, and biomass. Key genera in the hypoxic zone included bivalves, cumaceans, amphipods, and polychaetes. Our study suggests that the stability of environmental conditions and the constant supply of oxygen, even at low concentrations, play a crucial role in shaping community composition.

Summary: The Vistula Lagoon, one of the two lagoons on the Polish coast, is economically and environmentally significant. This study aims to calculate the water balance of the lagoon before and after the construction of a canal through the Vistula Spit. The construction of the new connection may impact the lagoon's water balance and its biotic and abiotic environment. Data on precipitation, evaporation, inflow from the catchment, and inflow/outflow through the Strait of Baltiysk were collected for mathematical modeling. The study suggests that the construction of the new canal will not significantly alter the lagoon's water balance but may cause environmental problems.

Summary: We demonstrate that wind-driven Ekman transport enhances the advection and mixing of cells, leading to the transport of colder water from the Surface Antarctic Waters to the warmer waters of the northern Polar Front belt. This mechanism provides cells with a favorable temperature environment, allowing for specific species and community growth rates to develop blooms under non-light limiting macronutrients and iron conditions. Our findings have important implications for increased productivity in a future warming climate.
