Abstract: | In recent years, the northern Bering Sea has experienced changes in the timing of sea-ice retreat and in hydrographic conditions during the summer. The influence of these environmental changes on the diatom community has not been examined. In this study, we investigated the spatial changes in the diatom community of the northern Bering Sea during the summers of 2017 and 2018, and evaluated the effects of environmental variability on these communities. We found that the diatom cell density and diversity varied with water masses. A cluster analysis based on cell density revealed that the diatom communities were separated into four groups, and that the distributions of three of these groups were different spatially between 2017 and 2018. In the Bering Strait and the Chirikov Basin regions, the diatom communities differed between 2017 and 2018. In 2017, these diatom communities were dominated by cold-water species such as Chaetoceros gelidus and Chaetoceros spp. (subgenus Hyalochaetae), while in 2018, the community was dominated by cosmopolitan species such as Thalassionema nitzschioides and Chaetoceros spp. (subgenus Phaeoceros). NMDS and multiple regression analysis indicated that the timing of the sea-ice retreat was the most important contributor to the differences in the diatom community. In contrast, there was no year-to-year difference south of St. Lawrence Island, possibly because nutrients were depleted and phytoplankton types other than diatoms were dominant. |
