contents Arctic sea-ice ridges are biomass hotspots harboring diverse microbial communities. Müller, Oliver Gardner, Jessie Olsen, Lasse Mork Salganik, Evgenii Assmy, Philipp Gradinger, Rolf Bratbak, Gunnar Hoppe, Clara J M Lange, Benjamin A Muilwijk, Morven Divine, Dmitry V Aberle, Nicole Krause, Jeffrey W Reigstad, Marit Leu, Eva Tsagaraki, Tatiana M Larsen, Aud Høyland, Knut V Balmonte, John Paul Boulton, William Dahle, Håkon Eggers, Lena Fong, Allison A Guillou, Gaël Lebreton, Benoit Metfies, Katja Mock, Thomas Petelenz, Elzbieta Tatarek, Agnieszka Torres-Valdés, Sinhué Torstensson, Anders Wiktor, Jozef Granskog, Mats A Although sea-ice ridges are prominent features of the Arctic Ocean, very little is known about their role as habitats and in biogeochemical cycles. Here, we show that ridges provide complex sea-ice habitats which host unique and diverse biological communities. Seasonally, ridges appear to transition from a biological repository in winter to biological hotspots in summer, surpassing algal biomass in level ice and surface waters by up to eight-fold. In summer, ridges can contain up to 80% of the total area integrated sea-ice algal biomass, emphasizing their importance in the Arctic sea-ice ecosystem. However, environmental shifts, such as meltwater infiltration and freezing inside the ridge in late summer, alter microbial communities from being predominantly autotrophic to heterotrophic. Our work provides evidence of contrasting roles of sea-ice ridges for Arctic carbon cycling in summer and shows that the habitats in the ridge interior harbor unique microbial communities, adding complexity to Arctic biodiversity.
