      The rapid decline of Arctic sea ice makes understanding sympagic (ice-associated) biology a particularly urgent task. Here we studied the poorly known seasonality of sea-ice protist and meiofauna community composition, abundance and biomass in the bottom 30 cm of sea ice in relation to ice properties and ice drift trajectories in the northwestern Barents Sea. We expected low abundances during the ...
