Detailed predictions of the downward particulate organic carbon (POC) flux in a future Arctic are challenging due to the poor understanding of potential drivers. Short-term sediment traps, partly modified with gel-containing jars, were deployed in the Barents Sea (BS) and in Adventfjorden, Svalbard,...
