  • Fish community responses to restoration of a eutrophic coastal bay

    Open AccessLena Bergström, Ronny Fredriksson et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024References: 51

    Interest in coastal restoration measures is increasing, but information about subsequent ecosystem recovery processes is limited. In Björnöfjärden on the Baltic Sea coast, Stockholm archipelago, a pioneering case study to reduce coastal eutrophication led to improvements and initially halved phosphorus levels. Here, we evaluate the effects of the restoration on the local fish assemblage over one decade after the measures. The study gives a unique…

  • Testing the concept of green infrastructure at the Baltic Sea scale to support an ecosystem-based approach to management of marine areas

    Open AccessAnda Ruskule, Jonne Kotta et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    The concept of Green Infrastructure (GI) can facilitate integration of ecological considerations and ecosystem service mapping into spatial planning. GI has been introduced in EU policy as a key tool for implementing the objectives of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2020 on halting the loss of biodiversity as well as addressing other global environmental problems. Unlike terrestrial ecosystems, mapping of marine GI is still in infancy. Here, applica…

  • Rapid re-establishment of top-down control at a no-take artificial reef

    Open AccessPatrik Kraufvelin, Lena Bergström et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2023References: 58

    Establishment of artificial reefs and no-take areas are management measures available for restoring deteriorated marine ecosystems, compensating for habitat loss and strengthening harvested populations. Following the establishment of no-take artificial reefs in western Sweden to compensate for hard bottoms lost to a shipping lane, we detected rapid positive effects on crustaceans and demersal fish compared to fished reference areas. The relative …

  • Combined effects of human pressures on Europe’s marine ecosystems

    Open AccessSamuli Korpinen, Leena Laamanen et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2021Cited by: 2References: 38

    Marine ecosystems are under high demand for human use, giving concerns about how pressures from human activities may affect their structure, function, and status. In Europe, recent developments in mapping of marine habitats and human activities now enable a coherent spatial evaluation of potential combined effects of human activities. Results indicate that combined effects from multiple human pressures are spread to 96% of the European marine are…

  • Predicting the effects of eutrophication mitigation on predatory fish biomass and the value of recreational fisheries

    Open AccessGöran Sundblad, Lena Bergström et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 1References: 42

    Improving water clarity is a core objective for eutrophication management in the Baltic Sea, but may influence fisheries via effects on fish habitat suitability. We apply an ensemble of species distribution models coupled with habitat productivity functions and willingness-to-pay estimates to assess these effects for two coastal predatory fish species, European perch ( Perca fluviatilis ) and pikeperch ( Sander lucioperca ). The models predicted …

  • Linking consumer physiological status to food-web structure and prey food value in the Baltic Sea

    Open AccessAgnes M L Karlson, Elena Gorokhova et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 1References: 42

    Declining physiological status in marine top consumers has been observed worldwide. We investigate changes in the physiological status and population/community traits of six consumer species/groups in the Baltic Sea (1993-2014), spanning four trophic levels and using metrics currently operational or proposed as indicators of food-web status. We ask whether the physiological status of consumers can be explained by food-web structure and prey food …

  • Relative impacts of fishing and eutrophication on coastal fish assessed by comparing a no-take area with an environmental gradient

    Open AccessLena Bergström, Martin Karlsson et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2019Cited by: 3References: 39

    Understanding the relative impacts of pressures on coastal ecosystems is central for implementing relevant measures to reach environmental management objectives. Here, survey data on the species and size composition of coastal fish are evaluated in relation to fishing and eutrophication, by comparing a long-standing no-take area to an environmental gradient in the Baltic Sea. The no-take area represents an intermediate eutrophication level, but t…

  • Effects of offshore wind farms on marine wildlife—a generalized impact assessment

    Open AccessLena Bergström, Lena Kautsky et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Marine management plans over the world express high expectations to the development of offshore wind energy. This would obviously contribute to renewable energy production, but potential conflicts with other usages of the marine landscape, as well as conservation interests, are evident. The present study synthesizes the current state of understanding on the effects of offshore wind farms on marine wildlife, in order to identify general versus loc…
