We examined diatom assemblages from 18 stream and pond samples in the Franz Josef Land Archipelago (FJL), the most northern land of Eurasia. More than 216 taxa were observed, revealing a rich circumpolar diatom flora, including many undescribed taxa. Widely distributed taxa were the most abundant by cell densities, while circumpolar taxa were the most species rich. Stream and pond habitats hosted different assemblages, and varied along a pH gradient.  Diatoma tenuis  was the most abundant and ubiquitous taxon. However, several circumpolar taxa such as  Chamaepinnularia gandrupii, Cymbella botellus, Psammothidium  sp. and  Humidophila laevissima  were also found in relatively high abundances. Aerophilic taxa were an important component of FJL diatom assemblages ( Humidophila  spp.,  Caloneis  spp. and  Pinnularia  spp.), reflecting the large and extreme seasonal changes in Arctic conditions. We predict a decrease in the abundance of circumpolar taxa, an increase in local ( α -) freshwater diatom diversity, but a decrease in regional diversity (circumpolar homogenization) as a result of current warming trends and to a lesser extent the increasing human footprint in the region.
