Sea ice presence is linked to higher carbon export and vertical microbial connectivity in the Eurasian Arctic Ocean
Fadeev et al. explore carbon export dynamics along the water column using microscopic analysis, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, and physical modeling of data from long-term sediment traps in the Fram Strait. Their results indicate that larger aggregates from sea-ice and under-ice diatom blooms ar...

| Sumario: | Fadeev et al. explore carbon export dynamics along the water column using microscopic analysis, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, and physical modeling of data from long-term sediment traps in the Fram Strait. Their results indicate that larger aggregates from sea-ice and under-ice diatom blooms are responsible for higher export efficiency and vertical microbial connectivity, suggesting that continuous sea-ice loss may result in decreased pelagic-benthic coupling, with resultant impacts on marine food webs. |
