deep-sea focus has been on the Arctic. In 1999, the institute established a long-term observatory in Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard. Today, the HAUSGARTEN observatory consists of 21 monitoring [...] temperatures are provoking rapid responses in the deep-sea ecosystem. This can already be seen in Fram Strait between Svalbard and Greenland, where the composition of the phytoplankton has changed. Whereas [...] As such, it’s quite possible that climate change will reduce diversity in the biotic communities of Fram Strait.
