Arctic Benthos and Climate Change - The Red Queen's race
Currently Arctic ecosystems seem to change much faster than new research and expeditions can be planned, conducted and evaluated. Under these dynamic conditions, it is almost impossible to establish a baseline that represents pre-change system state. Our initiative of a ”pan-Arctic benthic database”...
