Advanced tool for scenarios of the Baltic Sea ECOsystem to SUPPORT decision making

This object has been archived because its content is outdated. You can still access it as legacy.

Description

The database assess the combined effects of changing climate and changing human activity (nutrient load reductions [runoff and airborne], coastal management, fisheries) on the Baltic Sea ecosystem. The system is based upon scenarios from an existing state-of-the-art coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean-land surface model for the Baltic Sea catchment area, marine physical-biogeochemical models of differing complexity, a food web model, statistical fish population models, economic calculations, and new data detailing climate effects on marine biota.
