EuroGOOS roadmap for operational coastal downstream services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The EuroGOOS Coastal working group examines the entire coastal value chain from coastal observations to services for coastal users. The main objective of the working group is to review the status quo, identify gaps and ... -
Expert Assessment of Risks Posed by Climate Change and Anthropogenic Activities to Ecosystem Services in the Deep North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Sustainable development of the ocean is a central policy objective in Europe through the Blue Growth Strategy and globally through parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. Achieving sustainable exploitation of ... -
Extreme Levels of Ocean Acidification Restructure the Plankton Community and Biogeochemistry of a Temperate Coastal Ecosystem: A Mesocosm Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The oceans’ uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) decreases seawater pH and alters the inorganic carbon speciation – summarized in the term ocean acidification (OA). Already today, coastal regions experience episodic ... -
Financial and Institutional Support Are Important for Large-Scale Kelp Forest Restoration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Kelps form extensive underwater forests that underpin valuable ecosystem goods and services in temperate and polar rocky coastlines globally. Stressors, such as ocean warming and pollution are causing regional declines of ... -
Forecasted Shifts in Thermal Habitat for Cod Species in the Northwest Atlantic and Eastern Canadian Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate change will alter ecosystems and impose hardships on marine resource users as fish assemblages redistribute to habitats that meet their physiological requirements. Marine gadids represent some of the most ecologically ... -
Habitat features and their influence on the restoration potential of marine habitats in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)To understand the restoration potential of degraded habitats, it is important to know the key processes and habitat features that allow for recovery after disturbance. As part of the EU (Horizon 2020) funded MERCES project, ... -
"Hanging gardens" - comparing fauna communities in kelp farms and wild kelp forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A growing need for food is causing increased interest for seaweed farming globally. This requires knowledge of the industry’s effects on the marine environment. We therefore aimed to explore the communities hosted by a ... -
Highly Productive Ice Algal Mats in Arctic Melt Ponds: Primary Production and Carbon Turnover
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Arctic summer sea ice extent is decreasing and thinning, forming melt ponds that cover more than 50% of the sea ice area during the peak of the melting season. Despite of this, ice algal communities in melt ponds are ... -
How Does Ocean Acidification Affect the Early Life History of Zostera marina? A Series of Experiments Find Parental Carryover Can Benefit Viability or Germination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) as a concomitant of global climate change may facilitate the establishment of future seagrass meadows and subsequently its benefit could be incorporated into techniques ... -
Indicator-Based Assessment of Marine Biological Diversity – Lessons from 10 Case Studies across the European Seas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The Marine Strategy Framework Directive requires the environmental status of European marine waters to be assessed using biodiversity as 1 out of 11 descriptors, but the complexity of marine biodiversity and its large span ... -
Inequitable distribution of plastic benefits and burdens on economies and public health
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic heterogeneously affects social systems – notably human health and local and global economies. Here we discuss illustrative examples of the benefits and burdens of each stage of the plastic lifecycle (e.g., macroplastic ... -
Influence of Riverine Input on Norwegian Coastal Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Coastal ecosystems are of high ecological and socioeconomic importance and are strongly influenced by processes from land, sea, and human activities. In this study, we present physical, chemical, and biological observations ... -
Insights from the management of offshore energy resources: Toward an ecosystem-services based management approach for deep-ocean industries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The deep ocean comprises complex ecosystems made up of numerous community and habitat types that provide multiple services that benefit humans. As the industrialization of the deep sea proceeds, a standardized and robust ... -
Integrated assessment of marine biodiversity status using a prototype indicator-based assessment tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Integrated assessment of the status of marine biodiversity is and has been problematic compared to, for example, assessments of eutrophication and contamination status, mostly as a consequence of the fact that monitoring ... -
Kelp forest distribution in the Nordic region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Kelp forests are productive coastal ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem services. Mapping the distribution and area occupied by kelp forests is a critical step to identify their ecosystem functions and services, ... -
Kinetics and Size Effects on Adsorption of Cu(II), Cr(III), and Pb(II) Onto Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and Polyethylene Terephthalate Microplastic Particles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Due to its small size, large specific surface area and hydrophobicity, microplastics, and the adsorbed contaminants may together cause potential negative effects on ecosystems and human beings. In this study, kinetics and ... -
Mapping of contamination problem areas in Europe’s seas using a multi-metric indicator-based assessment tool
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We report identification and mapping of areas in Europe’s seas and coastal areas impacted by contaminants, i.e., areas with concentrations above internationally agreed threshold values. The study is based on (1) a ... -
