This session will focus on the sources of macro-
and micro-nutrients in the sub-Arctic seas. How does the importance
of the various pathways to primary production vary with season, and
how do they affect the fate of the production? How do these differ between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans? How are these processes influenced
by the presence of sea ice? Additionally, this session will include
papers that discuss the responses of high latitude regions to either
future climate or increasing acidification, or their combined response.
Of particular interest are physical, chemical or biological thresholds
or tipping points that will lead to large-scale changes in an ecosystem.
