Short-term dynamics of nutrients, planktonic abundances, and microbial respiratory activity in the Arctic Kongsfjorden

Atlantification of Arctic ocean is causing a sharp increase in temperature and salinity around Svalbard Islands and in Kongsfjorden. Such phenomenon and the input of sediment-rich glacial meltwater influence salinity, water column turbidity, and light penetration with ecological implications on the microbial features.

Purpose

With the aim to address the temporal variability of the microbial assemblage in relation to environmental variables, a 7-day study was carried out in Kongsfjorden, in late summer 2013. Abiotic (temperature, salinity, nutrients, total suspended matter, particulate inorganic, and organic carbon) and biotic (phyto -, picophyto-, bacterio-, and virioplankton abundance and microbial respiration) parameters were investigated at a station in the inner fjord area, ca. 8.5 km away from the glacier front.
