Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Comparison of two 16S rRNA primers (V3–V4 and V4–V5) for studies of arctic microbial communities
Microbial communities of the Arctic Ocean are poorly characterized in comparison to other
aquatic environments as to their horizontal, vertical, and temporal turnover. Yet, recent …

Arctic warming interrupts the Transpolar Drift and affects long-range transport of sea ice and ice-rafted matter
Sea ice is an important transport vehicle for gaseous, dissolved and particulate matter in the
Arctic Ocean. Due to the recently observed acceleration in sea ice drift, it has been assumed …
