Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
The The Baltic Sea with its still ongoing postglacial changes, its natural gradients and strong reactions to climate change and anthropogenic activity can be used in an ideal way to examine basic ecological processes and their variability in marine ecosystems. The most striking characteristics of the Baltic Sea are the extended gradients in primary (topography, energy, salinity) and secondary (organisms, matter flux, oxygen, nutrients, sediments) environmental properties as a result of different dynamical processes. This cruise investigated, besides geomarine tasks, the impacts of salinity and redox gradients on degradation of tDOC, microbially mediated processes, and on the structure and function of pelagic microbial communities. We expect, that heterotrophic microorganisms adapt to this situation by changes in diversity and specific decomposition rates. During the cruise following aims are central to this study of microbial diversity and function in the lateral Baltic gradient between Skagerrak and Bothnian Bay: 1. Assessment of structure and (selected) functions of pelagic prokaryotic communities (Bacteria, Archaea). It provides the general background for the more specific question of decomposition dynamics of imported terrigenic compounds. 2. Quantification, chemical characterization and decomposition of discharged terrestrial DOC from Northern (arctic) soils in relation to microbial diversity, in order to assess the decomposition capacity for organic matter, particularly the degradation potential for introduced terrestrial carbon compounds. 3. The identification of microbial key organisms and the relation to functional characteristics in the vertical pelagic oxygen gradients of the central Baltic (Gotland Basin, Landsort Deep) 4. The historic, climate-driven regime shifts of e.g. decomposition dynamics in the central basins recorded in sediments, which is highly dependent e.g. on the temporal variability of bottom water inflow events.
