In the Baltic Sea, this process could so far not be quantified, partly due to a lack of appropriate pH observations. This study unravels a positive alkalinity trend in the Baltic Sea over the past two decades that counteracted acidification. Further, state-of-the-art spectrophotometric pH measurements in brackish waters are enabled by characterizing pH buffer solutions and the indicator dye m-Cresol purple at low salinities. Finally, pH fluctuations and their implications for benthic ecosystems are examined.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="vorgelegt von Jens Daniel M{\"u}ller", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2018", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00002303", url="http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002303", url="https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2018-0135-7", url="https://d-nb.info/1293653497/34", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002303", language="English" }
