      Vernet, Maria; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Seuthe, Lena; Slagstad, Dag; Cape, Mattias R.; Matrai, Patricia A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-27)
      Northwards flowing Atlantic waters transport heat, nutrients, and organic carbon in the form of zooplankton into the eastern Greenland Sea and Fram Strait. Less is known of the contribution of phytoplankton advection in this current, the Atlantic Water Inflow (AWI) spanning from the North Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean. The <i>in situ</i> and advected primary production was estimated using the ...
    • Relationship between carbon- and oxygen-based primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean, svalbard archipelago 

      Sanz-Martín, Marina; Vernet, Maria; Cape, Mattias R.; Cano, Elena M; Delgado-Huertas, Antonio; Reigstad, Marit; Wassmann, Paul; Duarte, Carlos M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-02)
      Phytoplankton contribute half of the primary production (PP) in the biosphere and are the major source of energy for the Arctic Ocean ecosystem. While PP measurements are therefore fundamental to our understanding of marine biogeochemical cycling, the extent to which current methods provide a definitive estimate of this process remains uncertain given differences in their underlying approaches, and ...
