Changes in phytoplankton composition are indicators for a changing environment. Two major forces have altered the Baltic ecosystem recently eutrophication and climatic change. The abiotic factors related with these major changes are introduced in Section 15.2.

Although nitrogen is the element primarily controlling eutrophication in estuaries and coastal seas, and phosphorus is the element primarily controlling eutrophication in lakes, other elements can have a major influence on the community structure of aquatic ecosystems and can influence the nature of the response to eutrophication. A key element in this regard is silica (silicon), an element required by diatoms. The availability of silica in a water body has little or no influence on the overall rate of primary production, but when silica is abundant, diatoms are one of the major components of the phytoplankton. When silica is in low supply other classes of algae dominate the phytoplankton composition.

The advent of easy access to the satellite-based global positioning system (GPS) and availability of off-the-shelf portable probes and rapid analyzers for a number of water quality determinants have enabled the development of systems that can be carried on small survey vessels to map water quality conditions. Rapid data acquisition is now practical using probes and sondes for measuring temperature, conductivity, turbidity, pH, and dissolved oxygen fluorometric technologies for chlorophyll biomass and phytoplankton composition flow injection and loop flow analysis for some nutrient species and acoustic Doppler-based devices for current profiling.
