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 …

Sea ice in the Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing components of the global climate
system. Over the past few decades, summer areal extent has declined over 30%, and all …

Dramatic declines in sea-ice cover in the Arctic Ocean in recent decades have the potential
to fundamentally alter marine ecosystems. Here we investigate changes in sea ice between …

Marine ecosystems at high latitudes are characterized by extreme seasonal changes in light
conditions, as well as a limited period of high primary production during spring and early …

Phytoplankton blooms over Arctic Ocean continental shelves are thought to be restricted to
waters free of sea ice. Here, we document a massive phytoplankton bloom beneath fully …

In this article, we review evidence of how climate change has already resulted in clearly
discernable changes in marine Arctic ecosystems. After defining the term 'footprint'and …

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 …

Increasing global temperatures are having a profound impact in the Arctic, including the
dramatic loss of multiyear sea ice in 2007 that has continued to the present. The majority of …

Motivated by the need to predict how the Arctic atmosphere will change in a warming world,
this article summarizes recent advances made by the research consortium NETCARE …

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 …
