Oxygen fluxes beneath Arctic land‑fast ice and pack ice::towards estimates of ice productivity
Sea-ice ecosystems are among the most extensive of Earth’s habitats; yet its autotrophic and heterotrophic activities remain poorly constrained. We employed the in situ aquatic eddy-covariance (AEC) O 2 flux method and laboratory incubation techniques (H 14 CO 3 −, [ 3 H] thymidine and [ 3 H] leucin...

Sea-ice ecosystems are among the most extensive of Earth’s habitats; yet its autotrophic and heterotrophic activities remain poorly constrained.
