Experimentally determined temperature thresholds for Arctic plankton community metabolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Climate warming is especially severe in the Arctic,
where the average temperature is increasing 0.4 C per
decade, two to three times higher than the global average
rate. Furthermore, the Arctic has lost more than half of its
summer ice extent since 1980 and predictions suggest that
the Arctic will be ice free in the summer as early as 2050,
which could increase the rate of warming. Predictions ...
Seasonal patterns in Arctic planktonic metabolism (Fram Strait - Svalbard region)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
The metabolism of the Arctic Ocean is marked by
extremely pronounced seasonality and spatial heterogeneity
associated with light conditions, ice cover, water masses and
nutrient availability. Here we report the marine planktonic
metabolic rates (net community production, gross primary
production and community respiration) along three different
seasons of the year, for a total of eight cruises ...
