Biogeochemical Transformations in the Baltic Sea

Presents a coherent description of the major features of the Baltic Sea biogeochemistry as inferred from its unique marine CO2 system

Presents the complex relationship between the variables of the marine CO2 system and the peculiarities of the Baltic Sea acid-base system in an intelligible way, also understandable for non-chemists

Demonstrates the use of CO2 data for the analysis of biogeochemical processes
