A century of nitrogen dynamics in agricultural watersheds of Denmark
Intensive agriculture has been linked to increased nitrogen loads and adverse effects on downstream aquatic ecosystems. Sustained large net nitrogen surpluses have been shown in several contexts to form legacies in soil or waters, which delay the effects of reduction measures. In this study, detailed land use and agricultural statistics were used to reconstruct the annual nitrogen surpluses in three agriculture-dominated watersheds of Denmark (60…
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 processes altering nutrient and organic matter fluxes on the passage from land to sea. This review investigates the most important processes for removal of nutrients and organic matter, and the factors that regulate the efficiency of the coastal filter. Nitro…
Can investments in manure technology reduce nutrient leakage to the Baltic Sea
In this study, quantitative models of the agricultural sector and nutrient transport and cycling are used to analyse the impacts in the Baltic Sea of replacing the current Greening measures of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy with a package of investments in manure handling. The investments aim at improving nutrient utilization and reducing nitrogen leaching, based on the assumption that lagging farms and regions can catch up with observed goo…
Food web and fisheries in the future Baltic Sea
We developed numerical simulations of potential future ecological states of the Baltic Sea ecosystem at the end of century under five scenarios. We used a spatial food web (Ecospace) model, forced by a physical-biogeochemical model. The scenarios are built on consistent storylines that describe plausible developments of climatic and socioeconomic factors in the Baltic Sea region. Modelled species diversity and fish catches are driven by climate- …
Application of a novel modeling tool with multistressor functionality to support management of organic contaminants in the Baltic Sea
Organic contaminants constitute one of many stressors that deteriorate the ecological status of the Baltic Sea. When managing environmental problems in this marine environment, it may be necessary to consider the interactions between various stressors to ensure that averting one problem does not exacerbate another. A novel modeling tool, BALTSEM-POP, is presented here that simulates interactions between climate forcing, hydrodynamic conditions, a…
Hypoxia in the Baltic Sea
Hypoxia has occurred intermittently over the Holocene in the Baltic Sea, but the recent expansion from less than 10 000 km(2) before 1950 to >60 000 km(2) since 2000 is mainly caused by enhanced nutrient inputs from land and atmosphere. With worsening hypoxia, the role of sediments changes from nitrogen removal to nitrogen release as ammonium. At present, denitrification in the water column and sediments is equally important. Phosphorus is curren…
Ensemble Modeling of the Baltic Sea Ecosystem to Provide Scenarios for Management
We present a multi-model ensemble study for the Baltic Sea, and investigate the combined impact of changing climate, external nutrient supply, and fisheries on the marine ecosystem. The applied regional climate system model contains state-of-the-art component models for the atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, land surface, terrestrial and marine biogeochemistry, and marine food-web. Time-dependent scenario simulations for the period 1960-2100 are perform…
Comparing reconstructed past variations and future projections of the Baltic Sea ecosystem—first results from multi-model ensemble simulations
Multi-model ensemble simulations for the marine biogeochemistry and food web of the Baltic Sea were performed for the period 1850–2098, and projected changes in the future climate were compared with the past climate environment. For the past period 1850–2006, atmospheric, hydrological and nutrient forcings were reconstructed, based on historical measurements. For the future period 1961–2098, scenario simulations were driven by regionalized global…
Reconstructing the Development of Baltic Sea Eutrophication 1850–2006
Impact of Climate Change on Ecological Quality Indicators and Biogeochemical Fluxes in the Baltic Sea
Extremes of Temperature, Oxygen and Blooms in the Baltic Sea in a Changing Climate
Internal Ecosystem Feedbacks Enhance Nitrogen-fixing Cyanobacteria Blooms and Complicate Management in the Baltic Sea
Eutrophication of the Baltic Sea has potentially increased the frequency and magnitude of cyanobacteria blooms. Eutrophication leads to increased sedimentation of organic material, increasing the extent of anoxic bottoms and subsequently increasing the internal phosphorus loading. In addition, the hypoxic water volume displays a negative relationship with the total dissolved inorganic nitrogen pool, suggesting greater overall nitrogen removal wit…
Improvement of Baltic Proper Water Quality Using Large-scale Ecological Engineering
Eutrophication of the Baltic proper has led to impaired water quality, demonstrated by, e.g., extensive blooming of cyanobacteria during the premium summer holiday season and severe oxygen deficit in the deepwater. Sustainable improvements in water quality by the reduction of phosphorus (P) supplies will take several decades before giving full effects because of large P storages both in soils in the watershed and in the water column and bottom se…
Some theoretical problems of institutional economic history
Douglass C. North's theory of institutional economic history provides, so far, the most elaborate attempt at a unified theory explaining long-run economic performance. This paper undertakes a critical examination of North's theory, by examining its elements, structure, meaning, operation, dynamics and — briefly — some possible developments. Since the theory, as yet, is not sufficiently formalized such an approach meets with great difficulties. Th…

The rise and economic behaviour of medieval craft guilds an economic-theoretical interpretation
The city-based craft guild organization was the specific form of pre-capitalist industrial organization in Western Europe from the 12th century up to the middle of the 19th century, when the craft guilds were abolished with the introduction of free trade. From the late Middle Ages and more and more during the 16th to the 18th centuries domestic industries, located in the countryside, grew strongly together with the putting-out system founded on d…
Government Intervention in the Developed Economy
Trade unions in the Swedish sawmills
Although the sawmill industry occupied a strategic position during the industrialisation of Sweden, it has on the whole been the subject of remarkably little research. A number of monographs by Harald Wiik, Ernst Söderlund, Karl-Gusraf Hildebrand, Thore Hammarland and the present reviewer deal with production, exports, working conditions and trade unions, but special studies have been rare. Within the last few years this has begun to change, resu…
