Persistent seasonal deoxygenation alters benthic metabolic processes and accelerates hypoxia feedbacks in the Baltic Sea

Abstract Nutrient enrichment and warming cause widespread costal deoxygenation, leading to hypoxia or even anoxia in bottom waters. The benthic-water-column-feedbacks that develop under persistent seasonal oxygen depletion and amplify hypoxia remain poorly constrained. A 15-month...
