Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

About 7600 years ago, the surface of the Atlantic reached a level that led to lake conditions in the Archipelago Sea becoming brackish conditions (the beginning of the Litorina Sea phase) in a very short time.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

The transition from lake conditions to brackish water conditions caused considerable changes in the physical and chemical properties of the water mass, which allowed base production to increase rapidly in surface waters.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

Due to increased base production, more organic material was deposited on the seafloor than previously thought, which intensified oxygen demand on the seabed, eventually leading to a deterioration in oxygen conditions.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

Temporal variations in the oxygen situation on the seafloor have been typical of the Archipelago Sea until the present day.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

Compared to the ecosystem of islands and the coast itself, the Baltic Sea itself has a rather shallow biodiversity.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

The reason for this is the low salinity of the water, the Baltic Sea is not a sea, but a brackish basin.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

[12] In the archipelago, the water salinity is only 0,6%.


Question: When did the Swedish population move to the Archipelago Sea?

Archipelago Sea

Salinity has varied widely in the past, so species have not had time to adapt properly.
