Bacterial community composition responds to changes in copepod abundance and alters ecosystem function in an Arctic mesocosm study
Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Pree, Bernadette; Leiknes, Øystein; Larsen, Aud; Bratbak, Gunnar; Øvreås, Lise; Egge, Jorun Karin; Spanek, Roman; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Olsen, Yngvar; Vadstein, Olav; Thingstad, T. Frede (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Combining a minimum food web model with Arctic microbial community dynamics, we have suggested that top-down control by copepods can affect the food web down to bacterial consumption of organic carbon.

Bacterial Response to Permafrost Derived Organic Matter Input in an Arctic Fjord
Müller, Oliver; Seuthe, Lena; Bratbak, Gunnar; Paulsen, Maria Lund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-06)The warming of the Arctic causes increased riverine discharge, coastal erosion, and the thawing of permafrost. Together, this is leading to an increased wash out of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (tDOM) into the ... -

Paulsen, Maria Lund; Müller, Oliver; Larsen, Aud; Møller, Eva Friis; Middelboe, Mathias; Sejr, Mikael Kristian; Stedmon, Colin A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-07)Arctic waters are often enriched with terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) characterized by having elevated visible wavelength fluorescence (commonly termed humic-like). Here, we have identified the sources of ... -

In order to understand the response of the coastal ecosystem metabolism ... -
Food web functions and interactions during spring and summer in the arctic water inflow region: Investigated through inverse modeling
Olli, Kalle; Halvorsen, Elisabeth; Vernet, Maria; Lavrentyev, Peter J.; Franzè, Gayantonia; Sanz-Martín, Marina; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Reigstad, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-28)We used inverse modeling to reconstruct major planktonic food web carbon flows in the Atlantic Water inflow, east and north of Svalbard during spring (18–25 May) and summer (9–13 August), 2014. The model was based on three ... -

Meire, Lorenz; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Meire, Patrick; Rysgaard, Søren; Hopwood, Mark James; Sejr, Mikael Kristian; Stuart-Lee, Alice; Sabbe, Koen; Stock, Willem; Mortensen, John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is accelerating, with glaciers shifting from marine to land termination and potential consequences for fjord ecosystems downstream. Monthly samples in 2016 in two fjords in southwest ... -
Heterogeneous distribution of plankton within the mixed layer and its implications for bloom formation in tropical seas

Heterotrophic nanoflagellate grazing facilitates subarctic Atlantic spring bloom development
Paulsen, Maria Lund; Riisgård, Karen; St. John, Mike; Thingstad, T. Frede; Nielsen, Torkel Gissel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The subarctic Atlantic phytoplankton spring bloom is one of the largest biological features of the ocean; however, processes initiating the bloom are still not well understood. We hypothesize that the microbial grazing ... -
How microbial food web interactions shape the arctic ocean bacterial community revealed by size fractionation experiments
Müller, Oliver; Seuthe, Lena; Pree, Bernadette; Bratbak, Gunnar; Larsen, Aud; Paulsen, Maria Lund (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)In the Arctic, seasonal changes are substantial, and as a result, the marine bacterial community composition and functions differ greatly between the dark winter and light-intensive summer. While light availability is, ... -
Microbial dynamics in high latitude ecosystems. Responses to mixing, runoff and seasonal variation a rapidly changing environment
Paulsen, Maria Lund (Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-08)The pronounced warming at high latitude alters a range of physical conditions i.e. the magnitude of runoff, sea-ice extent and strength of stratification and thus affect the biological systems. As microorganisms form the ... -
Phytoplankton dynamics in contrasting early stage North Atlantic spring blooms: composition, succession, and potential drivers
