Vol. 58 (2007): Meddelelser om Grønland. Bioscience

Rysgaard, S. & Glud, R. N. (eds): Carbon cycling in Arctic marine ecosystems: Case study Young Sound, 214 pp.

This volume synthesizes the marine research conducted in Young Sound, a High Arctic fjord in Northeast Greenland, since 1994. Several physical, chemical and biological aspects of this ecosystem are presented in individual chapters and used to construct a present-day carbon budget for the area. Finally, predictions are made of future changes to the ecosystem due to climate warming.
