The main environmental factors driving spatial patterns, variability and change in primary
production (PP) in the Arctic Ocean are reviewed. While instantaneous PP rates are …

It is widely projected that under future climate scenarios the economic importance of Arctic
Ocean fish stocks will increase. The Arctic Ocean is especially vulnerable to ocean …

Climate change in the Arctic is ongoing and causes drastic modification on the ecosystem
functioning. In soft‐bottom environments, organic matter remineralization is considered an …

High latitude benthos are globally important in terms of accumulation and storage of ocean
carbon, and the feedback this is likely to have on regional warming. Understanding this …

Benthic organisms depend primarily on seasonal pulses of organic matter from primary
producers. In the Arctic, declines in sea ice due to warming climate could lead to changes in …

The Arctic coastal margin receives a disproportionately large fraction of the global river
discharge. The bio-geochemistry of the river water as it empties into the marine environment …

The long‐term absorption by the oceans of atmospheric carbon dioxide is leading to the
slow decline of ocean pH, a process termed ocean acidification (OA). The Arctic is a …

Optical properties of chromophoric (CDOM) and fluorescent dissolved organic matter
(FDOM) were characterized in the Nordic Seas including the West Spitsbergen Shelf during …

The Arctic is undergoing dramatic changes which cover the entire range of natural
processes, from extreme increases in the temperatures of air, soil, and water, to changes in …

Few Earth system models adequately represent the unique permafrost soil biogeochemistry
and its respective processes; this significantly contributes to uncertainty in estimating their …
