Episodic Arctic CO2 Limitation in the West Svalbard Shelf

Episodic Arctic CO2 Limitation in the West Svalbard Shelf

The European Sector of the Arctic Ocean is characterized by low CO2 concentrations in seawater during spring and summer, largely due to strong biological uptake driven by extensive plankton blooms in spring. The spring plankton bloom is eventually terminated by nutrient depletion and grazing. Howeve...
