Seaweed surges may alter Arctic fjord carbon dynamics
In high-latitude Arctic fjords, warming seas and reduced sea ice are boosting seaweed growth. This expansion of seaweed "forests" could alter the storage and cycling of carbon in coastal Arctic ecosystems, but few studies have explored these potential effects.
