What is Baltic-C?
Baltic-C is a BONUS funded project and will develop and apply an integrated ecosystem model framework based on the cycling of organic carbon (Corg) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Baltic Sea water and drainage basin, taking into account fluxes across the atmosphere and sediment interfaces (Fig. 1).

The aim is to provide a tool with which to support the management of the Baltic Sea. The objectives of the project are:
- to achieve significant progress in marine ecosystem modelling by aligning biomass production and oxygen depletion with CO2 dynamics; and
- to provide the first comprehensive integrated assessment of the potential effects of climate change, eutrophication, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration, and acidic deposition on carbon cycling in the Baltic Sea and its catchment area.
