Abstract
In the introduction we stated that investigations of the marine CO2 system are an ideal tool for biogeochemical studies because almost all biogeochemical processes are ultimately driven by the interplay between organic matter (OM) production and mineralization in an everlasting cycle driven by solar radiation. Since these processes are connected with the consumption or production of CO2, CO2 mass balance calculations based on measured changes in total CO2, were successfully used to estimate net production and mineralization rates in the Baltic Sea.
