Abstract

Climate changes in the North Atlantic and Arctic affect the macrophytobenthos along with other components of the ecosystem, resulting in an increase of species diversity and biomass in western Spitsbergen, as has been reported. Grønfjorden is located at the mouth of one of the largest fjords of Spitsbergen, Isfjorden, and is influenced by the recent significant increase in the inflow of Atlantic Water. However, there are nearly no published data on the phytoben-thic communities in this area. This research study of the littoral and sublittoral areas of Grønfjorden in 2013–14 documented 68 species, mostly high-boreal and boreal–Arctic species. When compared with species diversity in the other areas of western Spitsbergen, the data show the uniqueness of Grønfjorden’s species composition.

Grønfjorden、Spitsbergen和Svalbard大型藻类的物种多样性

据报道，北大西洋和北极的气候变化影响了大型浮游植物以及生态系统的其他组成部分，导致斯匹次卑尔根西部的物种多样性和生物量增加。Grønfjorden位于斯匹次卑尔根最大的峡湾之一伊斯峡湾的河口，受到最近大西洋水量显著增加的影响。然而，几乎没有关于该地区植物群落的公开数据。这项2013-14年对Grønfjorden沿海和亚沿海地区的研究记录了68种物种，主要是高北方和北方-北极物种。与斯匹次卑尔根西部其他地区的物种多样性相比，数据显示了Grønfjorden物种组成的独特性。

期刊介绍： Since 1982, Polar Research has been the international, peer-reviewed journal of the Norwegian Polar Institute, Norway''s central institution for research, environmental monitoring and mapping of the polar regions. Aiming to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge about the Arctic and Antarctic across disciplinary boundaries, Polar Research serves an international community of researchers and managers. As an open-access journal, Polar Research makes its contents freely available to the general public. Original primary research papers comprise the mainstay of Polar Research. Review articles, brief research notes, letters to the editor and book reviews are also included. Special issues are published from time to time. The scope of Polar Research encompasses research in all scientific disciplines relevant to the polar regions. These include, but are not limited to, the subfields of biology, ecology, geology, oceanography, glaciology and atmospheric science. Submissions from the social sciences and those focusing on polar management and policy issues are welcome. Contributions about Antarctica are particularly encouraged.
