Abstract:In the Arctic, sea ice loss has already transformed the dominant sources and periodicity of primary production in some areas, raising concerns over climate change impacts on benthic communities. Considered to be excellent indicators of environmental changes, benthic invertebrates play important roles in nutrient cycling, sediment oxygenation and decomposition. However, this biological component of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is still somewhat poorly studied compared to other Arctic regions. To partly… Show more
