A rigorous synthesis of the sea-ice ecosystem and linked ecosystem services highlights that
the sea-ice ecosystem supports all 4 ecosystem service categories, that sea-ice ecosystems …

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 …

The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and
largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary …

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 …

Sea ice primary production is considered a valuable energy source for Arctic marine food
webs, yet the extent remains unclear through existing methods. Here we quantify ice algal …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic metal that biomagnifies in food webs, and can reach high
concentrations in top predators. Evaluating Hg biomagnification in Arctic marine food webs …

Climate change is altering Arctic ecosystem structure by changing weather patterns and
reducing sea ice coverage. These changes are increasing light penetration into the Arctic …

Many studies have shown a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent. It does not logically follow,
however, that the extent of the marginal ice zone (MIZ), here defined as the area of the …

Half of the Arctic Ocean is deep sea (> 1000 m), and this area is currently transitioning from
being permanently ice-covered to being seasonally ice-free. Despite these drastic changes …

The Arctic is undergoing unprecedented environmental change. Rapid warming, decline in
sea ice extent, increase in riverine input, ocean acidification and changes in primary …
