Abstract
Abstract Nutrient inputs from upwelling, ocean currents, advection, and terrestrial sources play a crucial role in driving primary production in Arctic fjords and coastal areas. This study analyzes more than two decades of field measurements across a terrestrial-river-coastal continuum in Arctic Greenland, showing how shifts in coastal inflows, glacial meltwater, and terrestrial inputs control changes in nutrient dynamics in the fjord. Our data indicate oligotrophication, with nitrate concentrations decreasing by ∼49% and phytoplankton biomass by ∼60% over the study period. These changes are associated with a ∼12% increase in catchment vegetation greening, which likely reduced terrestrial nitrate input to the fjord by ∼65%. Nutrient dynamics in the fjord were also influenced by inflows of fresher coastal waters, providing nitrate-poor, silicate-rich waters. Silicate concentrations in the fjord have risen by ∼115% over the past two decades, suggesting increased input from all these sources. Whether these patterns are unique to this fjord or representative of broader Arctic trends remains uncertain and our study highlights the need to further explore the cross-boundary ecological impacts of climate change on Arctic marine and coastal ecosystems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
