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 …

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 …

Arctic marine ecosystems are warming twice as fast as the global average. As a
consequence of warming, many incoming species experience increasing abundances and …

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

In the Arctic, under-ice primary production is limited to summer months and is restricted not
only by ice thickness and snow cover but also by the stratification of the water column, which …

Polar cod and capelin are key species in Arctic and sub-Arctic marine food webs,
respectively, and the objective of this study is to compare and contrast the two species. Their …

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 …

To better predict ecological consequences of changing Arctic sea ice environments, we
aimed to quantify the contribution of ice algae‐produced carbon (αIce) to pelagic food webs …

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 …
