Biogeochemical consequences of a changing Arctic shelf seafloor ecosystem

Using samples and data from Storfjordrenna GHMs, where varying states of methane transport are evident, we employ geo- chemical, numerical, and molecular approaches to report shifts

3.3.1 Spatial variation of prokaryotic and viral communities in the Barents Sea transect Community distance decays were observed in both the bacterial and archaeal communities in

Beta-diversity analyses showed the environmental variations throughout the sampling range to have a stronger impact on the structuring of both the bacterial and archaeal

Biogeochemical Reactions in the Sediments: Sulfate Reduction, Methanogenesis, and AOM In order to quantify the degradation of organic matter in shelf and fjord sediments by

Low temperatures, extreme seasonal variations in light, and lack of nutrients are some of the physical and chemi- cal characteristics which cause environmental stress to

When warm, salty North Atlantic water reaches the cold Arctic around Green- land and Iceland and in the Labrador Sea, it becomes denser as it cools, and therefore sinks to deeper
