Climate change is rapidly altering the environment in the Arctic with large implications for marine life. This study presents the first time-series analysis of epibenthic community structure in Young Sound, NE Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), aiming to assess the structural and functional changes over time in response to climate-driven environmental change. Using data collected by drop cameras and ROVs at depths of 20m to 60m, from years 2003–2010 and 2021-2022, we evaluated the taxonomic and funct
