In the dark: A review of ecosystem processes during the Arctic polar night (2015, background): “…darkest period of the year, virtually all taxonomic groups of Arctic microbes are sustained (e.g. Weslawski et al., 1999; Sherr et al., 2003; Terrado et al., 2009; Niemi et al., 2011; Rokkan Iversen and Seuthe, 2011), including chloroplast-bearing protists, such as diatoms and various ﬂagellates.”
Arctic sea ice in transformation: A review of recent observed changes and impacts on biology and human activity (2014, background): “Late ice formation and the increase of winter polynyas and open leads in the ice may also influence processes of incorporation of protist cells in the forming ice matrix, with potential impacts on the biomass and composition of spring ice algal communities [Riedel et al., 2007; Niemi et al., 2011].”
