Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts bear calcified structures and could be impacted by the high pCO2 events of the late summer upwellings in the Baltic nearshores. Those events are expected to increase in strength and duration with global change and ocean aci...

Trees on agricultural fields can have a positive or negative impact weed seedbank (WSB) due to diverse environmental and soil characteristics. Therefore, samples were drawn in six cropping systems [two agroforest (AFS): guava, mango; three horticulture (HCS): mango, Indian gooseberry; annual crop system (ACS)] at two landscape positions (lowland upland) depths (0-15 cm 15-30 cm) using factorial...
