This book provides a comprehensive review of the biogeochemistry in the Baltic Sea. It is based on the fact that biogeochemical processes that are relevant for the ecological state of the Baltic Sea (and other sea areas), are all in some way related to the production and mineralization of organic matter (biomass) and thus are associated with the consumption or release of CO2. The significant progress with regard to our chemical analytical capabilities concerning the marine CO2 system has facilitated new approaches to study the Baltic Sea biogeochemistry, in particular with regard to a quantitative process understanding. To demonstrate this, the authors present the fundamentals of the marine CO2 system in a theoretically sound, but still intelligible way. This is followed by a comprehensive presentation of our current knowledge about the CO2 system in the Baltic Sea and the implications for our understanding of biogeochemical processes such as production/mineralization of organic matter and the stoichiometry involved, nitrogen fixation, denitrification, and phosphate transformations at varying redox conditions. Finally, the CO2 gas exchange balance and related problems such as acidification are addressed.

Historical gardens listed as cultural monuments are valuable evidence of our civilization. How can they be preserved under changing climatic conditions? On the basis of four historical gardens, this project analyzes the natural, cultural and social framework in which the "images" of the garden are inscribed. Yet, what courses of action are possible if plants or trees are no longer adapted to the local conditions? Representatives from the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and historical garden conservation present their first joint solution strategies for the preservation of historical gardens as complete works of art facing climate change. Historische Gärten sind als denkmalgeschützte Kulturgüter wertvolle Zeugnisse unserer Zivilisation. Wie lassen sie sich unter veränderten klimatischen Bedingungen bewahren? Anhand von vier historischen Gartenanlagen wird der natürliche, kulturelle und soziale Rahmen analysiert, in den die "Bilder" des Gartens eingeschrieben sind. Welche Handlungsoptionen bestehen jedoch, wenn Pflanzen oder Bäume den standörtlichen Gegebenheiten nicht mehr angepasst sind? Vertreter aus den Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften sowie der Gartendenkmalpflege stellen erstmals gemeinsam Lösungsstrategien für die Bewahrung historischer Gärten als Gesamtkunstwerke unter dem Vorzeichen des Klimawandels vor.
