Aim … Polar and alpine plants live at the edge of their physiological limits. Thus, relatively small changes in climate can have disproportionate effects on biological and ecological processes. Antarctic mosses display highly variable micro-topography (canopy architecture)…
The Southern Ocean Research Partnership (IWC-SORP) is a multi-lateral, non-lethal scientific research programme established in 2009 to improve the coordinated and cooperative delivery of science to the IWC. There are 13 Partners: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Italy…
1.Ecosystem change is predicted to become more prevalent with climate change. Widespread dieback of cushion plants and bryophytes in alpine fellfield on Macquarie Island may represent such change. Loss of the keystone endemic cushion plant, Azorella macquariensis…
Ten years of recent fine-scale haul-by-haul krill data were used to characterise the … behaviour of the krill fishery. Analysis of distance between hauls in relation to their catch … level revealed a distinct pattern.
An historical data set, collected in 1958 by Southward and Crisp, was used as a baseline for detecting … change in the abundances of species in the rocky intertidal of Ireland. In 2003, the abundances of each of … 27 species was assessed using the same methodologies (ACFOR…
Ice shelves play a major role in the discharge of ice from Antarctica both from iceberg calving and basal melt, and processes of ocean-ice interaction beneath the shelf are of increasing scientific interest.
We determined the effects of UVR (280 – 400 nm) on Antarctic marine protists over the … summer of 2001/02 in incubation experiments with light exposures of PAR, PAR+UVAR and … PAR+UVAR+UVBR.
