Early spring subglacial discharge plumes fuel under-ice primary production at a Svalbard tidewater glacier
Subglacial upwelling of nutrient-rich bottom water is known to sustain elevated summer primary production in tidewater-glacier-influenced fjord systems. However, the importance of subglacial upwelling during the early spring season has not been considered yet. We hypothesized that subglacial dischar...
