Growth variability of the Greenland smoothcockle Serripes groenlandicus (Brugiere 1789) affected by glacier induced changes in the Kongsfjorden ecosystem
Climate change forces retreat of Arctic glaciers and release of increased quantities of melt water and terrigenous material into coastal habitats of the Arctic such as the Kongsfjorden Ecosystem. The effect of this glacier induced physical parameters on growth and abundance of the Greenland smoothco...
