Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...

Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance
Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...

Animal breeding phenology in temperate and high latitude regions is often predicted by weather variables, such as temperature. Much work on this topic has focused on taxonomic groups that employ adaptive plastic responses to annual variation in an environmental cue, with analytical approaches developed to determine when weather has an effect and the ...

Glacier‐Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High‐Mountain Regions ‐ A Review
Abstract Mountain glaciers are among the natural systems most vulnerable to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large‐scale ...

Abstract A polar cap patch was observed to exit the polar cap to become a blob as it entered the auroral oval on the nightside of the Earth under moderately quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 3−). Auroral particle precipitation led to an increase in the electron density of the blob.

Etter de tragiske ulykkene på Svalbard i 2015 og 2017 ble det satt i gang omfattende arbeider for å sikre lokalbefolkningen mot skred. Det er knyttet usikkerhet til om de lokale forholdene på Svalbard gir opphav til en endring i snøens mekaniske egenskaper, sammenlignet med blant annet Fastlands-Norge og Alpelandene.

Bayesian Approach to Ionospheric Elementary Current Systems Using Differentiable Basis Functions
Abstract Spherical elementary current systems (SECS) have become a widely used tool to model vector fields on spherical surfaces in ionospheric data analysis. The systems were originally formulated using point sources for the divergence and curl of the fields. In this paper we present a flexible alternative formulation, showing how continuous functions

Abstract Few multi‐year observations of CO2 gas exchange exist over melting first year sea ice (FYI). We report 4 years of CO2 flux data during the melt season in Dease Strait, Nunavut, Canada. Utilizing a dried, closed‐path eddy covariance system on an island within the strait, we identify two statistically distinct CO2 flux melt regimes: a pre‐pond ...

The Arctic Coastal Erosion Model: Overview, Developments, and Calibration at Drew Point, Alaska
Abstract Permafrost coastlines are experiencing significant erosion as polar amplification has enhanced the effects of climate change in the Arctic. Warmer temperatures are increasing thermo‐denudation and more energetic oceans are increasing thermo‐abrasion in unlithified, ice‐bonded permafrost coastlines which comprise at least 40% of the circum ...

Summary Estimating fungal geographic ranges and niche potential is limited by the ephemeral nature of fruiting bodies. While environmental DNA offers broader insights, species‐level identification remains difficult due to uncertain sequence clustering thresholds, low interspecific variation in barcoding regions, and limited taxonomic resolution.
