Ecosystem effects in the Baltic Sea at future climate change projections - implications for ecosystem management. Underwater maps for marine spatial planning and management Direct quantification of nutrient uptake in chain-forming diatoms during a spring-bloom in the Baltic Sea The key role of phosphorus and nitrogen for cyanobacterial composition in the northern Baltic Sea Effects of phosphorous limitation on nitrogen and carbon fluxes in two strains of the cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena High reproductive success and larger trophic niche in amphipods exposed to cyanobacterial blooms Katrine Borgå Anteneh Assefa Terry Bidleman TBA What can we learn from dynamics of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in Baltic Sea sediments? Air-Water Exchange of Natural Brominated Compounds in the Northern Baltic Sea: Current Status and Possible Influences of Climate Change Daniela Figueroa Marcus Lindh Allochthonous organic matter - a major driver of bacterial production in sub-arctic estuaries in the Baltic Sea Baltic Sea transplant experiments uncover distinct water mass-dependent responses in bacterioplankton community composition and activities to changes in salinity and dissolved organic matter Humic substance and phosphorus shape the size – structure and pigment content of Baltic Sea phytoplankton 11:40 Presentation 13 Joanna Paczkowska 12:00 Lunch 13:15 Plenary 3 Asbjørn Vøllestad 14:00 Presentation 14 Petter Tibblin 14:20 Presentation 15 Per Larsson 14:40 Presentation 16 Stina Israelsson 15:00 Coffee 15:40 Presentation 17 Elin Almroth-Rosell 16:00 Presentation 18 Erik Gustafsson 16:20 Presentation 19 Ida-Maja Hassellöv 16:40 – 18:00 Poster session and coffee 16:45 – 18:15 Annual meeting SHF 19:00 Conference dinner at the Guitar museum Climate effects on fish migration: eel and salmon as examples Evolutionary divergence of adult body size and juvenile growth in sympatric subpopulations of a top predator in aquatic ecosystems Data storage tags reveal a year’s life of Baltic Sea pike (Esox lucius) Bacterial communities of various fish species are specific and different from their seawater environment Modelling the oxygen dependent benthic phosphate fluxes in the Baltic Sea- A new approach External alkalinity loads vs. internal generation - the influence of none-riverine alkalinity sources in the Baltic Sea Seawater chemistry governs performance and influence potential negative environmental effects of seawater scrubbing Wednesday November 12 09:00 Plenary 4 Anja Engel 09:45 Presentation 20 Carina Bunse 10:05 Presentation 21 Juan Rodríguez Serrano 10:25 Coffee 11:00 Dyrssen Award presentations 11:10 Presentation 22 Per-Arvid Berglund 11:30 11:50 Presentation 23 End of conference Natalia Barrientos Pelagic ecosystems in a high CO2 world: Can we predict what the future may bring? Ocean acidification causes a community wide bacterial pH stress response Effects of increased pCO2 and terrestrial organic matter on phytoplankton and bacterioplankton activity and community structure Razorbill (Alca torda) breeding success decreases with laying date – potential for complementing sprat (Sprattus sprattus) stock assessments and ecosystem management in the Baltic Sea?
