• Macrofauna and meiofauna food-web structure from Arctic fjords to deep Arctic Ocean during spring: A stable isotope approach 

      Oleszczuk, Barbara; Silberberger, Marc Jürgen; Grzelak, Katarzyna; Winogradow, Aleksandra; Dybwad, Christine Schumann; Peeken, Ilka; Wiedmann, Ingrid; Kędra, Monika (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)
      The knowledge on benthic trophic relations is particularly important for understanding the functioning of still pristine and less studied Arctic Ocean ecosystems. This study examines the benthic food-web structure in the European sector of the Arctic Ocean and assesses if and how it differs along depth gradients in the marginal seaice zone during spring. Samples of the sediment organic matter were ...
    • Responses in Arctic marine carbon cycle processes: Conceptual scenarios and implications for ecosystem function 

      Findlay, Helen S.; Gibson, Georgina; Kędra, Monika; Morata, Nathalie; Orchowska, Monika; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Reigstad, Marit; Silyakova, Anna; Tremblay, Jean-Éric; Walczowski, Waldemar; Weydmann, Agata; Logvinova, Christie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15)
      The Arctic Ocean is one of the fastest changing oceans, plays an important role in global carbon cycling and yet is a particularly challenging ocean to study. Hence, observations tend to be relatively sparse in both space and time. How the Arctic functions, geophysically, but also ecologically, can have significant consequences for the internal cycling of carbon, and subsequently influence carbon ...
    • Trait-based approaches in rapidly changing ecosystems: A roadmap to the future polar oceans 

      Degen, Renate; Aune, Magnus; Bluhm, Bodil; Cassidy, Camilla; Kędra, Monika; Kraan, Casper; Vandepitte, Leen; Włodarska-Kowalczuk, Maria; Zhulay, Irina; Albano, Paolo G.; Bremner, Julie; Grebmeier, Jacqueline M.; Link, Heike; Morata, Nathalie; Nordström, Marie C.; Shojaei, Mehdi Ghodrati; Sutton, Lauren; Zuschin, Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-30)
      Polar marine regions are facing rapid changes induced by climate change, with consequences for local faunal populations, but also for overall ecosystem functioning, goods and services. Yet given the complexity of polar marine ecosystems, predicting the mode, direction and extent of these consequences remains challenging. Trait-based approaches are increasingly adopted as a tool by which to explore ...
