Sustainable phosphorus loadings from effective and cost-effective phosphorus management around the Baltic Sea.

Nutrient over-enrichment of the Baltic Sea, accompanied by intensified algal blooms and decreasing water clarity, has aroused widespread concern in the surrounding countries during the last four decades. This work has used a well-tested dynamic mass-balance model to investigate which decrease in tot...
