Fig.5.15. The Absolute Disturbance Index (ADI) on
the basis of changes in community gross production (GP) and respiration (R) of Fucus vesiculosus
communities from the Swedish Kattegat and Baltic
coasts, treated with tributyltin (TBT) or chlorate
compared to untreated controls. (Kautsky et al.

Fig. 5.16. Areas in the Baltic where changes in benthic macrovegetation have been reported
5.6 Summary and Conclusions
The specific geographic, geomorphological and hydrographic features of
the Baltic Sea favour eutrophication processes, including increasing
plankton productivity, deposition and accumulation of organic matter,
followed by oxygen depletion and hydrogen sulphide development. The
