While recent studies have reported changes in animal populations in Arctic waters, the causes were poorly understood, as there have been few in-depth analyses of the ocean’s chemical makeup.

The team assessed more than two decades of sampling data from the Fram Strait, the main gateway through which Arctic waters flow into the Atlantic.
