TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an enormous systematic phenological network data set of more than 125 000 observational series of 542 plant and 19 animal species in 21 European countries (1971-2000) and concluded that previously published results of phenological changes were not biased by reporting or publication predisposition.

TL;DR: Metal speciation analysis showed that the dominant metal species are residual metals and those bound to organic matter and that the concentrations of exchangeable metals increased below pollution sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mean precipitation pattern in the Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) and the influence of local landscape factors on it, to derive a regionalization, i.e. select regions having coherent fluctuations in precipitation, and to analyse relationships between precipitation and characteristics of the large-scale atmospheric circulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the long term changes (in case of River Daugava starting from 1530, but for other studied rivers starting from first half of twentieth century) river ice regimes in the Baltic region have been studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, spatial distribution and trends in mean and absolute maximum and minimum temperatures and in the diurnal temperature range were analyzed at 47 stations in the eastern Baltic region (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) during 1951-2010.
