Discrete taxa of saprotrophic fungi respire different ages of carbon from Antarctic soils
Read more of: Discrete taxa of saprotrophic fungi respire different ages of carbon from Antarctic soilsDifferent organic compounds have distinct residence times in soil and are degraded by specific taxa of saprotrophic fungi. It hence follows that specific fungal taxa should respire carbon of different […]

Globally discordant Isocrinida (Crinoidea) migration confirms asynchronous Marine Mesozoic Revolution
Read more of: Globally discordant Isocrinida (Crinoidea) migration confirms asynchronous Marine Mesozoic RevolutionThe Marine Mesozoic Revolution (MMR, starting ~200 million years ago) changed the ecological structure of sea floor communities due to increased predation pressure. It was thought to have caused the […]

Icebergs, sea ice, blue carbon and Antarctic climate feedbacks
Read more of: Icebergs, sea ice, blue carbon and Antarctic climate feedbacksSea ice, including icebergs, has a complex relationship with the carbon held within animals (blue carbon) in the polar regions. Sea-ice losses around West Antarctica’s continental shelf generate longer phytoplankton […]

Interdecadal variability of phytoplankton biomass along the coastal West Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Interdecadal variability of phytoplankton biomass along the coastal West Antarctic PeninsulaThe West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a climatically sensitive region where periods of strong warming have caused significant changes in the marine ecosystem and food-web processes. Tight coupling between phytoplankton […]

Impact of sea-ice melt on dimethyl sulphide (sulfoniopropionate) inventories in surface waters of Marguerite Bay, West-Antarctic Peninsula.
Read more of: Impact of sea-ice melt on dimethyl sulphide (sulfoniopropionate) inventories in surface waters of Marguerite Bay, West-Antarctic Peninsula.The Southern Ocean is a hotspot of the climate-relevant organic sulfur compound dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Spatial and temporal variability in DMS concentration is higher than in any other oceanic region, […]

A “shallow bathtub ring” of local sedimentary iron input maintains the Palmer Deep biological hotspot on the West Antarctic Peninsula shelf
Read more of: A “shallow bathtub ring” of local sedimentary iron input maintains the Palmer Deep biological hotspot on the West Antarctic Peninsula shelfPalmer Deep (PD) is one of several regional hotspots of biological productivity along the inner shelf of the West Antarctic Peninsula. The proximity of hotspots to shelf-crossing deep troughs has […]

Macronutrient and carbon supply, uptake and cycling across the Antarctic Peninsula shelf during summer
Read more of: Macronutrient and carbon supply, uptake and cycling across the Antarctic Peninsula shelf during summerThe West Antarctic Peninsula shelf is a region of high seasonal primary production which supports a large and productive food web, where macronutrients and inorganic carbon are sourced primarily from […]

Anatomy of a glacial meltwater discharge event in an Antarctic Cove
Read more of: Anatomy of a glacial meltwater discharge event in an Antarctic CoveGlacial meltwater discharge from Antarctica is a key influence on the marine environment, impacting ocean circulation, sea level and productivity of the pelagic and benthic ecosystems. The responses elicited depend […]

Shelf-ocean exchange and hydrography west of the Antarctic Peninsula: A review
Read more of: Shelf-ocean exchange and hydrography west of the Antarctic Peninsula: A reviewThe West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a highly productive marine ecosystem where extended periods of change have been observed in the form of glacier retreat, reduction of sea-ice cover and […]

The marine system of the West Antarctic Peninsula: status and strategy for progress
Read more of: The marine system of the West Antarctic Peninsula: status and strategy for progressThe West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP; figure 1) is one of the most climatically sensitive regions on Earth and one of the most variable. The strong climatic variability gives us the […]

Water-loss and anhydrobiotic survival in nematodes of Antarctic fellfields
Read more of: Water-loss and anhydrobiotic survival in nematodes of Antarctic fellfieldsThe Antarctic fellfield habitat is an extreme terrestrial environment in which the survival of organisms depends upon an ability to withstand both very low temperatures and severe water shortage. The […]
