| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study of the Baltic Sea
carbon budget. The Baltic Sea is very much influenced by terrestrial carbon
input. Rivers are the largest carbon source, and their input amounts to
10.90 Tg C yr−1 (Tg = 1012 g) with a 37.5% contribution of
organic carbon. On the other hand, carbon is effectively exported from the
Baltic to the North Sea (7.67 Tg C yr−1) and is also buried in bottom
sediments (2.73 Tg C yr−1). The other sources and sinks of carbon are
of minor importance. The net CO2 emission (1.05 Tg C yr−1) from
the Baltic to the atmosphere was calculated as the closing term of the
carbon budget presented here. There is a net loss of organic carbon, which
indicates that the Baltic Sea is heterotrophic. |
