From Pixels to Patterns: Trait Plasticity and Species Overlap of <i>Calanus</i> spp. in Arctic Fjords. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe reported here high variability in traits of Calanus reveals their high potential for adaptability and/or some resilience to the environmental changes. Due to climate‐induced changes, Calanus copepods will likely further experience: (1) size reduction, (2) faster development, (3) increased competition, both between species and among generations, (4)

Determinants of Soil Microarthropod Community Biodiversity in the Svalbard High Arctic: Locality or Vegetation Community? [PDF]
Ecol EvolArctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.

Arctic fjord during warming: Planktonic point of view
Український антарктичний журнал, 2022 The climate affects aquatic ecosystems worldwide, yet the most dramatic impact has been observed in Polar Regions. The presented study aimed to test the hypothesis that changes in biodiversity are linked to changes in the food web functioning under ...

Total benthic oxygen uptake in two Arctic fjords (Spitsbergen) with different hydrological regimes
Oceanologia, 2018 Summary: Benthic total oxygen uptake (TOU) was measured in two Arctic fjords (NW Spitsbergen shelf) with different hydrological regimes: Hornsund with “cold” coastal Arctic waters and Kongsfjorden with “warm” Atlantic shelf waters.

Can seabirds modify carbon burial in fjords?
Oceanologia, 2017 Two high latitude fjords of Spitsbergen (Hornsund 77°N and Kongsfjorden 79°N) are regarded as being highly productive (70 g and 50 gC m−2 year−1) and having organic-rich sediments. Hornsund has more organic matter in its sediments (8%), nearly half of it

Primary producers and production in Hornsund and Kongsfjorden – comparison of two fjord systems
Polish Polar Research, 2017 Hornsund and Kongsfjorden are two similar-sized Arctic fjords on the West coast of Spitsbergen. They are influenced by cold coastal Arctic water (Hornsund) and warmer Atlantic water (Kongsfjorden).
