Predicting future distributions of lanternfish, a significant ecological resource within the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Predicting future distributions of lanternfish, a significant ecological resource within the Southern OceanAim: Lanternfish (Myctophidae) are one of the most abundant and ecologically important families of pelagic teleosts, yet how these species will respond to climate change is unclear, especially within polar […]

Basal melting of Ross Ice Shelf from solar heat absorption in an ice-front polynya
Read more of: Basal melting of Ross Ice Shelf from solar heat absorption in an ice-front polynyaIce–ocean interactions at the bases of Antarctic ice shelves are rarely observed, yet have a profound influence on ice sheet evolution and stability. Ice sheet models are highly sensitive to […]

On the need to consider wood formation processes in global vegetation models and a suggested approach
Read more of: On the need to consider wood formation processes in global vegetation models and a suggested approachDynamic global vegetation models are key tools for interpreting and forecasting the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatic variation and other drivers. They estimate plant growth as the outcome of […]

Light climate and phytoplankton photosynthesis in maritime Antarctic lakes
Read more of: Light climate and phytoplankton photosynthesis in maritime Antarctic lakesThe responses of phytoplankton populations to seasonal changes in radiation flux in two Antarctic lakes with extensive winter ice-cover are described. A phytoplankton capable of photosynthesis was found throughout the […]
