全球环境挑战，如气候变化、海洋酸化和人为压力，迫切需要海洋生物群功能的详细知识，以便创建预测人口、社区和生态系统未来变化的现实模型。长期监测观测仍然是了解海洋领域发生的复杂季节性和多年性过程的最佳途径之一，有时甚至是唯一途径。本卷侧重于过去几十年在白海进行的长期研究，白海是位于俄罗斯西北部亚北极和北极地区的一个相对较小的海洋盆地。它有一种特殊的水文结构：上层水层经历强烈的季节性温度波动，居住着北方生物，几乎不与深层水混合，深层水全年温度为负，由北极物种群占据。白海有着悠久的历史，广泛的环境监测涵盖了生态系统的各个层面。本期特刊的目的是向国际研究界介绍这些研究的主要发现，并确定与这一重要的亚北极海洋盆地生态系统变化有关的环境和生物过程。
Global environmental challenges, such as climatic shifts, ocean acidification, and anthropogenic pressures urgently require detailed knowledge on functioning of the marine biota in order to create realistic models that predict future changes in populations, communities, and ecosystems. The long-term monitoring observations remain one of the best and sometimes the only way of acquiring knowledge on the complex seasonal and multiannual processes taking place in marine realms. This volume focuses on the long-term studies conducted for the past several decades in the White Sea, a relatively small marine basin located in sub-Arctic and Arctic zone in the northwest of Russia. It has a peculiar hydrologic structure: the upper water layers which experience strong seasonal temperature fluctuations and are inhabited by boreal organisms almost do not mix with the deeper waters which have negative temperatures the year round and are occupied by the Arctic species complex. The White Sea has a long-standing history of extensive environmental monitoring spanning all levels of the ecosystem. The goal of this special issue is to present the key findings of these studies to international research community and to identify environmental and biological processes that are involved in the ecosystem change of this important sub-Arctic marine basin.
