Short summary
In the Arctic's Kongsfjorden, we distinguished the effects of physical water mixing from biological activity on nutrient dynamics. By calculating a "nutrient anomaly" (ΔNutrient), we quantified how biological uptake drives a seasonal shift from a nutrient-rich spring to a nutrient-limited summer. This approach reveals a "biogeochemical memory" of the spring bloom and helps predict the fjord's response to climate change, offering crucial insights into Arctic ecosystem productivity.
