Removal of snow cover inhibits spring growth of Arctic ice algae through physiological and behavioral effects

The snow cover of Arctic sea ice has recently decreased, and climate models forecast that this will continue and even increase in future. We therefore tested the effect of snow cover on the optical properties of sea ice and the biomass, photobiology, and species composition of sea ice algae at Kange...
