Article Synopsis
- * A study using advanced imaging techniques assessed the biomolecular composition of these microalgae over six weeks in different Arctic fjord sites, revealing their ability to adapt to changing sea ice conditions.
- * Environmental changes, such as nitrogen limitation and rising water temperatures, can lead to a shift in the algae's nutrient composition, potentially impacting carbon transfer in the marine ecosystem due to climate change effects.
Arctic sea-ice diatoms fuel polar marine food webs as they emerge from winter darkness into spring. Through their photosynthetic activity they manufacture the nutrients and energy that underpin secondary production. Sea-ice diatom abundance and biomolecular composition vary in space and time.
