Temporal and spatial variability in sea-ice carbon:nitrogen ratios on Canadian Arctic shelves

Abstract To enhance the accuracy of carbon cycling models as applied to sea ice in the changing Arctic, we analyzed a large data set of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) measurements in first-year bottom sea ice (n = 257) from two Arctic shelves, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and...
