Figure 4.16 Shifts in Arctic phytoplankton phenology within the Arctic Circle (>66.58°N). The histogram shows three types of annual phytoplankton bloom cycle (flat, single bloom, double bloom) for three consecutive periods since the late 1990s. The circumpolar map shows percentage change in autumn/secondary bloom occurrence between the earlier and later periods for 19 Arctic areas. The minimum September sea-ice extent in 2012 is shown in dark blue (Ardyna et al., 2014).
