Abstract

Significant changes to seasonal ice cover, stratification, and warming are altering the oceanic boundaries between Polar and Atlantic Water masses. The resultant increased mixing and intrusion of Atlantic Waters into the Arctic region is resulting in novel competition between extant microbial communities that drive biogeochemical cycles and underpin the food-web in these regions. However, it remains unclear how extant microbial communities will respond to these new opportunities and challenges. This work aims to provide an insight into how the bacterial and microbial eukaryotic communities present across a transect in the Norwegian Sea may be impacted by predicted future environmental change to the Arctic region through the use of Next Ge...
