Ecology of Baltic Coastal Waters
The Baltic Sea is one of the most investigated water bodies in the world. For decades, the many highly industrialised nations around the Baltic have financed basic and applied investigations, as well as the building and development of research stations an

Prof. em. Dr. sc. nat. Ulrich Schiewer, initiator and editor of this volume, died on the 23 May 2007 at the age of 70 years. After growing up during the struggles of the Second World War in Pomerania and as a refugee in post-war times in Mecklenburg, Ulrich Schiewer studied Biology at the University of Rostock. He became a plant physiologist and began his career by investigating plant hormones in the group of Prof. E. Libbert. He was very active in this field, successfully investigating the mechanisms of salt acclimation of Cyanobacteria, before accepting in 1988 a call from the University of Rostock to take the Chair of Ecology, succeeding Prof. W. Schnese. Since that time, he instigated, designed and conducted a series of complex mesocosm experiments aimed at elucidating matter fluxes and the food web structure of eutrophied brackish systems. As head of Biology, he guided the Institute through all the ups and downs of German unification, and was always able to find acceptable solutions for all the various problems that arose at this time. It is to his credit that the Institute of Biology was able not just to survive this period, but to become a widely acknowledged centre of coastal ecosystem research. Many national as well as international collaborations initiated by Prof. Schiewer, involving not only the Baltic Sea states, but also, among others, the United States, The
