Svalbard as a study model of future High Arctic coastal environments in a warming world
Svalbard archipelago, a high latitude area in a region undergoing rapid climate change, is relatively easily accessible for field research. This makes the fjords of Spitsbergen, its largest island, some of the best studied Arctic coastal areas.

Arbuscular mycorrhizas are present on Spitsbergen [PDF]
A previous study of 76 plant species on Spitsbergen in the High Arctic concluded that structures resembling arbuscular mycorrhizas were absent from roots. Here, we report a survey examining the roots of 13 grass and forb species collected from 12 sites on the island for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonisation.

Ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) synergistically doubled overwintering Calanus glacialis mortality and increased DNA damage. OW accelerated moulting by mid‐Polar Night, boosted metabolism, depleted lipids by early March, 1–4 months pre‐spring algal bloom, and amplified oxidative damage. Collectively, these stressors cause overwintering failure,

The harsh polar environment results in the dominance of mosses and liverworts in tundra communities. To date, very little research has been devoted to the diversity and ecology of these groups in the High Arctic. The aim of this research was

Freeze–thaw adaptations for the bucket‐type HBV model were applied to the permafrost‐dominated Fuglebekken catchment in SW Spitsbergen. The adaptations allow the model to better capture the complex hydrological dynamics of a non‐stationary environment.
