Abstract Changes in the Arctic atmosphere, cryosphere and Ocean are drastically altering
the dynamics of phytoplankton, the base of marine ecosystems. This Review addresses four …

The growth of phytoplankton at high latitudes was generally thought to begin in open waters
of the marginal ice zone once the highly reflective sea ice retreats in spring, solar elevation …

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 …

The decline of sea-ice thickness, area, and volume due to the transition from multi-year to
first-year sea ice has improved the under-ice light environment for pelagic Arctic …

As the physical environment of the Arctic Ocean shifts seasonally from ice‐covered to open
water, the limiting resource for phytoplankton growth shifts from light to nutrients. To …

Abstract The northwestern Barents Sea (NW-BS) is a highly productive region within the
transitional zones of an Atlantic to Arctic-dominated marine ecosystem. The steep latitudinal …

Phytoplankton blooms in the Arctic Ocean's seasonal sea ice zone are expected to start
earlier and occur further north with retreating and thinning sea ice cover. The current study is …

Observations of the seasonal light field in the upper Arctic Ocean are critical to
understanding the impacts of changing Arctic ice conditions on phytoplankton growth in the …

Arctic sea ice has been in rapid decline the last decade and the Norwegian young sea ICE
(N‐ICE2015) expedition sought to investigate key processes in a thin Arctic sea ice regime …

During summer, phytoplankton can bloom in the Arctic Ocean, both in open water and under
ice, often strongly linked to the retreating ice edge. There, the surface ocean responds to …
