The “biological pump” is the process by which photosynthetically-produced organic matter in
the ocean descends from the surface layer to depth by a combination of sinking particles …

Global warming drives changes in oceanographic conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the
adjacent continental slopes. This may result in favourable conditions for increased biological …

Climate change triggers poleward shifts in species distribution leading to changes in
biogeography. In the marine environment, fish respond quickly to warming, causing …

Temporal and spatial dynamics of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Barents Sea have
been investigated during the last three decades using remote sensing and in situ …

Abstract The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) of the Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly due to a
warming Arctic climate with commensurate reductions in sea ice extent and thickness. This …

Countless documents have focussed upon the rapid changes that are being observed in the
Arctic (eg ACIA, 2004). Atmospheric warming has increased Arctic Ocean (AO) temperature …

Large‐scale patterns in species diversity and community composition are associated with
environmental gradients, but the implications of these patterns for food‐web structure are …

A rctic organisms are adapted to the strong seasonality of environmental forcing. A small
timing mismatch between biological processes and the environment could potentially have …

Phytoplankton blooms in the Barents Sea are highly sensitive to seasonal and interannual
changes in sea ice extent, water mass distribution, and oceanic fronts. With the ongoing …

Abstract The Barents Sea has experienced substantial warming over the last few decades
with expansion of relatively warm Atlantic water and reduction in sea ice. Based on a review …
