The Scotia Sea ecosystem is a major component of the circumpolar Southern Ocean system,
where productivity and predator demand for prey are high. The eastward-flowing Antarctic …

Around Antartica the annual five-fold growth and decay of sea ice is the most prominent
physical process and has a profound impact on marine life there. In winter the pack ice …

First published in 1993, The Biology of the Southern Ocean has been referred to as
international research at its best and an invaluable reference. Drawing on the considerable …

The seasonally ice-covered regions of the Southern Ocean have distinctive ecological
systems due to the growth of microalgae in sea ice. Although sea ice microalgal production …

The distribution and composition of phytoplankton stocks in relation to water masses were
studied during the SO-JGOFS cruise of RV Polarstern in the Atlantic sector of the Southern …

This paper describes spatial distribution patterns of the phytoplankton community
(composition, cell abundance and biomass concentration) in relation to local environmental …

The fate of ice‐bottom algae, before and after release from the first‐year sea ice into the
water column, was assessed during the period of ice‐algal growth and decline in Resolute …

For the determination of the elemental composition of particulate organic material (POM)
and its impact on the marine carbon cycle, we assembled C: N data for POM from many …

The high nutrient low chlorophyll (HNLC) conditions of the Southern Ocean were explored
with an ecological model (SWAMCO) describing the cycling of C, N, P, Si and Fe through …

The waters around the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula show complex patterns of
water circulation due to mixing of diverse water masses. Physicochemical properties of the …
