How Do Dark Streams of Arctic Glacial Meltwater Affect Plankton?

In the last decades, temperatures of Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans have increased significantly. Warming strongly affects Arctic, where we can observe fast glacial melt during summer. Meltwater brings debris from land into coastal ocean, creating zones with brown water. This seawater darkening affect living conditions marine organisms possibly threaten life in future. To address this issue, studied particles that make dark effect has on tiny plants animals waters European Arctic. Open, clear were greenish full life, while muddy zones, observed intensive “snowstorms” particles. Our study taught us about how interact these Based our observations, design computer models to help predict fate a future, warmer
