Work Package II
Past and future vulnerability of Arctic marine ecosystems to multiple stressors
Lead: Åbo Akademi University
The aim of this work package is to
- Establish past and recent changes and responses in Arctic biodiversity to environmental stressors.
- Assess the changes in pelagic and benthic processes and their effects on food web transfer, pelagic-benthic coupling and biological pump
- Investigate the emergence of altered ecosystems due to changes in distributions, invasions and trophic interactions
