DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3796
Abstract: Abstract Relatively few studies have attempted to resolve the pathways through which the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning cascade from one trophic level to another. Here, we manipulated the richness of habitat‐forming seaweeds in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2018.e00081
Abstract: Abstract Lagoons are a prominent feature of Arctic coastlines, support diverse benthic food webs, and provide vital feeding grounds for fish, migratory birds, and marine mammals. Across the Arctic, loading of terrestrial/freshwater-derived organic carbon (CT)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmarsys.2016.12.006
Abstract: Abstract Arctic colonial seabirds are recognized as effective fertilizers of terrestrial ecosystems by delivering marine-origin nutrients to the vicinities of their nesting sites. A proportion of this ornithogenic matter is then thought to return to… read more here.

Abstract: We analyzed stable isotope composition of carbon and nitrogen of suspended organic matter (seston) and tissues of macroalgae, macroinvertebrates and fish from the coastal area of the highly eutrophic Neva Estuary to test a hypothesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c07062
Abstract: Climate change-driven increases in air and sea temperatures are rapidly thawing the Arctic cryosphere with potential for remobilization and accumulation of legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in adjacent coastal food webs. Here, we present concentrations… read more here.
