Abstract The Atlantification of the European Arctic has been an increasingly discussed topic
in polar science over the past two decades. The alteration of local marine ecosystems …

In 2011, a first comprehensive assessment of the footprints of climate change on Arctic
marine ecosystems (such as altered distribution ranges, abundances, growth and body …

Antarctic krill play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and can potentially generate
high-particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes to the deep ocean. They also have an unusual …

Euphausiid (krill) and amphipod dynamics were studied during 2006–2011 by use of
plankton nets in Kongsfjorden (79° N) and adjacent waters, also including limited sampling …

Rocky littoral macroorganisms that live between the high and low water marks were
sampled in the summers of 1988 and 2007–2008 in Hornsund Fjord and along the adjacent …

The hydrographic properties of the Kongsfjorden–Krossfjorden system (79° N, Spitsbergen)
are affected by Atlantic water incursions as well as glacier meltwater runoff. This results in …

Non-indigenous species (NIS) in the Arctic have an increased likelihood of arrival from ship
traffic in the region, while the survival potential of the species becomes more likely in a …

Abstract Zooplankton in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, is shaped by irregular advection of
seawater from the West Spitsbergen Current as well as input of freshwater of glacial and …

High-latitude marine environments, such as the Beagle Channel, are highly vulnerable to
modifications related to climate change and anthropogenic impacts, which can rapidly affect …

Zooplankton abundance and community structures were studied in three west Spitsbergen
fjords at the beginning of the warm phase, which seem to have entered in 2006. Sampling …
