The Vainameri is a highly dynamic water body, where the situation is mostly determined by the water exchange processes forced by two major nearby basins (i.e., the Baltic Proper and th e Gulf of Riga) and resuspension events during storms. The hydrophysical and hydrochemical front fluctuates in N-S direction and the local conditions are frequently overrun by these excursions. Resuspension events due to currents (in the straits) and surface waves (in the shallow parts of the Vainameri) affect the study area with high turbidity and cause an about 2-3-fold increase in phosphorus concentrations. On the basis of hydrodynamic behaviour two sub-basins could be defined in the Vainameri. The eastern part has about 85% of the water exchange, lower salinity, and higher nutrient concentrations. In the western section hydrological conditions are more marine and less variable.","PeriodicalId":250336,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. Biology.

We studied D. carthusiana, D. dilatata, and D. expansa in localities where all three fern species co-occur in Estonia. Our aim was to compare the population stage structure of the three species and to observe whether their population structure fluctuates differently in different sites in different years. We observed an unfavourable condition of D. expansa in one site (Saare), which we interpreted as a possible result of competitive pressure from bryophytes. Also, we observed a predomination of premature stages of D. dilatata in two sites (Janeda, Ongu), indicating the dynamic status of these populations. Because of a more westerly distribution of this species in Estonia compared to the other two, one may hypothesize that D. dilatata is able to expand its range due to climate warming.","PeriodicalId":250336,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences.

The 3D current structure was studied in Muuga and K(cid:252)dema bays using RDCP 600 current profiler data from autumn 2003 and early summer 2004. Altogether 245 hours of flow measurements from up to nine depth layers were obtained. Despite calm weather conditions (average wind speed 3.4 m/s during the three measuring periods), the maximum horizontal current velocity reached 37 cm/s. As all the mooring sites were relatively close to the coast, downwind horizontal transport with relatively small differences over the vertical profile prevailed. The average modula of vertical velocities were between 0.47 and 0.60 cm/s, being 10(cid:150)20 times smaller than the simultaneous horizontal velocities. This may suggest that at least above sloping bottoms and within the upper 10(cid:150)20 m layer, rapid vertical spread of both hydrochemical and hydrobiological properties is hydrodynamically favoured. However, higher than expected measured vertical velocities indicate a disagreement with certain theoretical considerations. The possibility that the particles backscattering the RDCP signals were not neutrally buoyant should be investigated in detail in the future.","PeriodicalId":250336,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences.
