Carbon and nitrogen turnover in the Arctic deep sea: in situ benthic community response to diatom and coccolithophorid phytodetritus
In the Arctic Ocean, increased Urn Element sea surface temperature and sea ice retreat have triggered shifts in phytoplankton communities.In Fram Strait, coccolithophorids have been occasionally observed to replace diatoms as the dominating taxon of spring blooms.Deep-sea benthic communities depend strongly on such blooms, but with a change in qual
