KAIROS - ZooplanKton data from Arctic marIne time-seRies to understand biOdiversity dynamicS
The Arctic is a climate change hot spot, with ocean warming, freshening, sea-ice decline, linked to changing atmospheric and terrestrial environments. These processes are imprints of Atlantification, a progressive propagation of the Atlantic signal into the Arctic Ocean, significantly influencing climate, ecosystems, and marine food web. In the Svalbard archipelago global warming is notably accelerated.
