Description:
Article Arctic sea ice has been in rapid decline in recent decades, yet the impact on biogeochemical cycling is unknown due to insufficient sampling. Watanabe et al. combine year-long mooring observations with numerical models to show that an eddy-induced biological pump would be enhanced by sea ice retreat.
