In the Arctic Ocean at least two climate-linked, contiguous domains are linked to ecosystems through both bottom-up (e. g. changes in light and nutrient regimes) and top-down (e. g. changes in fish and large predator populations) regulation. The first is the ∿7×(10)^6(km)^2 seasonal ice zone (SIZ) w...
