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 …

Arctic marine unicellular eukaryotes are composed of microalgae and non-autotrophic
protists. These eukaryotes comprise a well-diversified group of organisms that are either …

As climate changes and the upper Arctic Ocean receives more heat and fresh water, it
becomes more difficult for mixing processes to deliver nutrients from depth to the surface for …

The smallest marine phytoplankton, collectively termed picophytoplankton, have been
routinely enumerated by flow cytometry since the late 1980s during cruises throughout most …

Microalgae mass cultivation for biodiesel production might very well become the next
marketable biofuel. The main challenge to overcome however is the development of high …

Comprehensive investigations of the Canadian Arctic during late summer and early fall
revealed the widespread occurrence of long-lived subsurface chlorophyll maxima (SCM) in …

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 …

This review paper integrates the current knowledge, based on available literature, on the
physical and biological conditions of the Amerasian and Eurasian basins (AB, EB) of the …

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 …

We assessed phytoplankton dynamics and its environmental control across the Canadian
High Arctic (CHA). Environmental (hydrographic, atmospheric, sea ice conditions) and …
