  • Beschreibung: In spring, summer and autumn enclosure experiments were performed in the central part of the Arkona Sea. The natural water with the plankton community was enriched by nutrients to about winter levels, and to the double of these concentrations. In spring and summer, the phytoplankton responded with rapid uptake of nutrients and an increase in primary production and biomass. In autumn, the uptake of nutrients was also fast, whereas productivity did not increase, and biomass only in diatoms. Not only did the production increase with higher nutrient supply, but also the productive season was prolonged. This fact is of importance for the function of the pelagic system in the Baltic, because the biomass and nutrients remaining after the spring bloom determine to a great extent the productivity of the whole year.
