摘要

Foraminifera are numerically abundant components of the benthic fauna; thus, they are very important compounds in glaciomarine environments. However, ongoing oceanographic changes may influence their distribution, abundances and diversity differently at different times of the year. In the present study, we aimed to assess seasonal environmental changes in an Arctic fjord (Adventfjorden, W Spitsbergen) and the structure and distribution of benthic foraminiferal assemblages during four seasons (January, May, August, November). The study revealed that the benthic foraminiferal assemblages in Adventfjorden are susceptible to environmental changes related to enhanced inflow of shelf-transformed water (STW). We distinguished three zones in the fjord: (1) the deeper outer part influenced by STW, with living specimens staying in the few uppermost layers of sediment, (2) the shallower interior influenced by freshwater outflows and high sediment load, resulting in the dominance of opportunistic glaciomarine taxa constantly buried in the sediment, and (3) the central part, where the seasonal variation in the foraminifera assemblage reflects the interplay between the influence of riverine inputs and STW. Our study also revealed that the presence of STW in Adventfjorden favours an early spring appearance of juvenile foraminifera; however, the majority of the specimens are later withered and do not contribute to the summer pool of mature individuals. On the other hand, the majority of the mature specimens can survive during the winter because of sufficient organic matter stocks and year-long ice-free conditions.
