The introduction of new processes in biogeochemical models brings new model parameters that must be set. Optimization of the model parameters is crucial to ensure that model performance is based on process representation (i.e., functional forms) rather than poor choices of input parameter values.

Spatial and temporal environmental variation in terrestrial Antarctic ecosystems are known to impact … species strongly at a local scale, but the ways in which organisms respond (e.g. physiologically, behaviourally) to such variation are poorly understood. Further…

Terrestrial systems in Antarctica are characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variation. However, few studies have addressed the paucity of data on metabolic responses to the unpredictable … Antarctic environment, particularly with regard to terrestrial biota.

We demonstrate the use of molecular techniques to detect specific prey … consumed by the southern rock lobster ( Jasus edwardsii). A quick and non-lethal … method was used to collect rock lobster faecal material and a molecular protocol … was employed to isolate prey DNA from faecal samples.

For over a century, atmospheric electricity data has been collected from all over the world, as well as from space. For the last thirty years, Antarctica has been the observatory site of … choice for atmospheric electricity studies.
