Open AccessContinuous daylight in the high-Arctic summer supports high plankton respiration rates compared to those supported in the dark
Plankton respiration rate is a major component of global CO2 production and is forecasted to increase rapidly in the Arctic with warming. Yet, existing assessments in the Arctic evaluated plankton respiration in ...

Experimental Assessment of Temperature Thresholds for Arctic Phytoplankton Communities
We examined the responses of two different natural arctic plankton communities to warming in an attempt to find temperature thresholds for abrupt changes in growth or biomass. We conducted two experiments in s...

Abrupt climate change in the Arctic
Semantic arguments about the definition of 'tip** points' are distracting attention away from the causes and impacts of climate change in the Arctic.

Arctic Tip** Points in an Earth System Perspective
We provide an introduction to the volume The Arctic in the Earth System perspective: the role of tip** points. The terms tip** point and tip** element are described and their role in current science, genera...

Tip** Elements in the Arctic Marine Ecosystem
The Arctic marine ecosystem contains multiple elements that present alternative states. The most obvious of which is an Arctic Ocean largely covered by an ice sheet in summer versus one largely devoid of such ...

Primary production and climatic variability in the European sector of the Arctic Ocean prior to 2007: preliminary results
The primary production in the Greenland Sea, Fram Strait, Barents Sea, Kara Sea and adjacent Polar Ocean was investigated through the physically–biologically coupled, nested 3D SINMOD model with 4 km grid size...

Changes in Arctic marine bacterial carbon metabolism in response to increasing temperature
Arctic areas of deep-water convection have a large potential for export of organic carbon from surface waters into the deep sea and, therefore, are an important part of the global carbon cycle. As the Arctic i...

Relationships between primary production and vertical particle export at the Atlantic-Arctic boundary (Fram Strait, HAUSGARTEN)
The lack of extended dataset has so far prevented an inclusive understanding of the long-term relationships between primary production (PP) and vertical export in the Arctic Ocean. It is urgent to investigate ...

Experimental evaluation of planktonic respiration response to warming in the European Arctic Sector
The Arctic Ocean is the region on Earth supporting the steepest warming rate and is also particularly vulnerable due to the vanishing ice cover. Intense warming in the Arctic has strong implications for biolog...

Export or retention? Copepod abundance, faecal pellet production and vertical flux in the marginal ice zone through snap shots from the northern Barents Sea
The balance between faecal pellet (FP) production and destruction that accelerates or diminishes vertical export has an effect on pelagic-benthic coupling, but is inadequately known. Production, export and ret...

Vernal sedimentation trends in north Norwegian fjords: temporary anomaly in 234Th particulate fluxes related to Phaeocystis pouchetii proliferation
We report data of a naturally occurring radionuclide, 234Th, an in situ tracer, to investigate vertical export of biogenic matter during a vernal bloom of Phaeocystis pouchetii in the fjords of northern Norway. T...

Does Phaeocystis spp. contribute significantly to vertical export of organic carbon?
Phaeocystis spp. cell and colony mass fluxes and their contribution to the vertical particulate organic carbon (POC) export from a wide range of stations were quantified by short-term sediment traps. The compilat...

Winter–spring feeding and metabolism of Arctic copepods: insights from faecal pellet production and respiration measurements in the southeastern Beaufort Sea
Faecal pellet production (FPP) and respiration rates of Calanus glacialis, C. hyperboreus and Metridia longa were measured under land-fast ice in the southeastern Beaufort Sea during the winter–spring transition ...

Retention versus export food chains: processes controlling sinking loss from marine pelagic systems
The role of export and retention food chains for pelagic-benthic coupling is considered by evaluating different food chain scenarios and processes such as aggregation, grazing and zooplankton-mediated fluxes. ...
