Seasonally Resolved Ecophysiology of Arctic Marine Phytoplankton in Kongsfjorden

Phytoplankton are key drivers of complex interactions between biology, geochemistry, and climate. Temperature plays an important role in phytoplankton metabolism which has direct effects on biogeochemical cycling under global warming. The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the global av...
