by 2100. Warming accelerates the growth of certain cyanobacteria and shifts the timing of spring blooms earlier in the season.
: Increased precipitation, especially in the northern regions, is projected to lower salinity levels by up to The future for microplankton in the Baltic Sea
Reduction in high-quality food sources for the base of the food web. Increase by 2100
The future of microplankton in the Baltic Sea is expected to be defined by a shift toward and a significant increase in cyanobacterial dominance . These changes are driven by the compounding effects of climate warming, decreasing salinity, and persistent eutrophication. Key Drivers of Change especially in the northern regions
